continued from Pa'ge
with a paycheck knowing you don't
have to look over your shoulder?
My father died when I was young, so
my mother was the role model. Basi­
cally, peer pressure was brought on
from her, not by my friends. She told
me, • Your friends will not always be
your friends, but I will always be
your mother.' Black families are the
trongest I have ever come in contact
with. My mother raised ix boys
with no man. Everything starts in the
home. Your parents are your main
role models. It's passed on from one
generatlon-to the next. If you call a
child stupid when he' young, he
grows older he will think that he is
stupid."
I •
"I THINK the main problem
young Black males have today is a
lack of spiritual awareness,"
Hardhead offers. "The game we
play get us into trouble. There w a
verse in the Bible I read a long time
go that said, 'I w a child. I poke
as a child and I conducted my be-
•
havior as a child. But when I became
a man I put away childish things.'
Learn to stop playing games. Get
serious."
Looking into the future and the
directing of the next album,
Hardhead intimates, "The songs on
my album are only a do e of what
goes on. There are untold stories
about the ghetto, I haven't heard
anybody come close to touching it
yet. The future for Hard Knocks is
gonna go beyond the ghetto. I'm
gonna tell stories like tales from the
crypt ... I'm gonna tinker with
people's brains."
