Chuck D issued a notice to The Throne that in these turbulent social and economic times that their raps should have more sustenance...
Chuck D released his track called 'Notice - Know This' as an answer to 'Otis' by 'The Throne' but insists it's not a diss aimed at Jay Z and Kanye West. Chuck tells All Hip Hop.com,
“In these difficult times for many people (especially of color), this is a call to artists to continue to inspire, but to reflect the people better than the media does. Here’s to hoping that the Jay-Z & Kanye supergroup can elevate the masses to try a little bit more to reflect Otis’ heart rather than swag, because they’re too good to be less.”
