• When it comes to animal agriculture, there is conventional, which is rally hideous, and 'compassionate' and 'certified humane' or whatever, which 'may' be 'slightly' less hideous. But it is all torture. It's all wrong. These 'happy' gimmicks are just designed to make the public feel better about exploiting animals. Don't buy the propaganda of 'happy' exploitation. Go vegan and promote veganism.

• What's when you rap and don't appreciate the art?
  What's when you sell out just to get a start?
  What's when you make bullshit just for the charts?
  What's when you rap, but it's not from the heart?
  What's when you're hardcore, then you turn pop?
  When you steal ideas to get props?
  When you sell out to be on top?
  What's when you front like you're hard, but you're not?
  That's a gimmick.
