Not what I was looking for (check out his book 'Fight The Power: Rap, Race and Reality' - cheap in Fopp) and bizarrely from the Onion:
"...this is a society that is always treading on black people, who are being thrown negativity and are adopting the negativity. Being positive is like going up a mountain. Being negative is like sliding down a hill. A lot of times, people want to take the easy way out, because it's basically what they've understood throughout their lives."
