What’s your opinion on black people in rock? Is it a trend or do you see it becoming something big?

ZK: First of all, we fucking started this shit. People need to calm down and not act like we’re new to the game. It all came from blues. People think that four black men picking up an electric guitar doesn’t make any sense. Look at Elvis Presley, he’s music came from blues. I think that it’s great that we’re ‘getting it back,’ but I don’t think it’s a new trend. Somehow black people got boxed into the categories of R&B and hip hop, which is cool but it’s time for us to let go of those constraints. These days the category lines are blurring. Rock has become a large category now, so has hip hop, R&B and soul. Everything is kind of meshing together. I think putting things in categories isn’t really helpful when it comes to music as well as skin color or race.
