I Believe You Can Speak Things Into

Racism Is Taught In The Home. We Agree On That? Well, It's Very Hard To Teach Racism To A Teenager Who's Listening To Rap Music And Who Idolizes, Say, Snoop Dogg. It's Hard To Say, 'that Guy Is Less Than You.' The Kid Is Like, 'i Like That Guy, He's Cool. How Is He Less Than Me?

This Is Why We Shouldn't Be Afraid. There Are Two Possibilities: One Is That There's More To Life Than The Physical Life, That Our Souls "will Find An Even Higher Place To Dwell" When This Life Is Over. If That's True, There's No Reason To Fear Failure Or Death. The Other Possibility Is That This Life Is All There Is. And If That's True, Then We Have To Really Live It - We Have To Take It For Everything It Has And "die Enormous" Instead Of "living Dormant," As I Said Way Back On "can I Live." Either Way, Fear Is A Waste Of Time.

I Noticed That Difference Early On, Like If You Were Successful In Rock 'n' Roll, That Was A Really Bad Thing, You Almost Had To Hide It. You Had These Guys Selling 200 Million Records With Dirty T-shirts On. I Was Like, 'come On, Man. Come On. We Know You're Successful.' Hip-hop Is More About Attaining Wealth. People Respect Success. They Respect Big. They Don't Even Have To Like Your Music. If You're Big Enough, People Are Drawn To You.

Be Fluid. Treat Each Project Differently. Be Water, Man. The Best Style Is No Style. Because Styles Can Be Figured Out. And When You Have No Style They Can't Figure You Out.

Got Some, Dirt On My Shoulder, Could You Brush It Off For Me?
