"The concept of The Ownerz involves how people are renting and leasing hip-hop," says Guru. "At this point in the game, there a lot of people exploiting it and calling sh*t they're doing hip-hop even though it's watered down. But we feel strongly about the love we have for this music and that we're true owners of a purer form.""I'm 35 years old, man," add Premier. "What are we supposed to do, rhyme about how much ice we got? Kids can rhyme about, 'I'm pushing a new Bentley', because they wanna brag that they got something. I had sh*t already. I had bracelets and the lion rings and the gold fronts in my mouth when I was 20. It was cool. I loved it. But as you mature your music's gotta mature. It can still be raw and soulful because that's why AC/DC is still out there doing their thing, that's why the O'Jays still do shows. We make that type of classical stuff. That's what grown men do."
