“I hate the word 'hip-hop'. To me, music is music. ”

Simplified Meaning:
The quote is talking about how music should not be limited by labels. The speaker doesn't like the term "hip-hop" because it puts music into a specific box. They believe all music is just music, no matter what type it is. For example, imagine if people only called apples by the color they saw on the outside, like "red fruit" or "green fruit," instead of understanding they are all apples. This can also apply to how we see and treat people; instead of labeling someone by their job, race, or any other single trait, we should appreciate and understand them as a whole person. If we think like this, we can enjoy and value things more fully and not miss out on their true essence.
