No, I'm saying they call it poison because when it started, it was about expression of self, showcasing verbal skill, and basically having a good time with music. However, hip hop was also rallied against, bashed by politicians...even the presentation of the first hip hop grammy was not televised. Well shit, it was even considered poison back then.

Fast forward to present day. Hip hop, in the eyes of the majority of america, is about having the most money, being the most illegally notorious, and basically nothing the youth of america should be growing up to be. In other words, poison...still. Circumstances changed, but the label didn't.
