I Love Traveling The States No Matter

What I'm Slowly Realizing Is That I Believe That Most Of Us Felt That We Could Relax A Little Bit After November 2, 2008, Because Of The Progress And The Spirit That It Took To Get Barack Obama In The White House. And What We Didn't Realize, Is That Was Really The Beginning. That Was Really The Beginning Of The Struggle And Not The End Of A Struggle, To Come From Colonial Times Through Slavery, Through The Jim Crowe Laws, Through The Civil Rights Period To The White House As, Like A Point A/point B Journey. Point B Of Course Being The End.

Part Of Me Would Just Like To Relax And Have One Job That Pays Me The Amount I Need To Survive. And Another Part Of Me Wants The Creativity That Comes Out Of Struggle And Frustration And Fear. It's A Never-ending Cycle, Which Must Be How I Want It, On Some Level.

Hip-hop Is Such A Disposable Art Form From A Business Standpoint. It Never Treats Its Artists As Art; It Never Treats Its Product As Art.

I Do Count On A Changing Of Tides. All Too Often, What Could Be A Critics' Darling Today Becomes Tomorrow's Target. I Don't Want To Be Too Blasé About It.

And Even Though People Like To Furrow Their Brow Like They Suspect You're Not Being Honest About Yourself, The Truth Is That They Worry That You're Not Serving Their Idea Of You.
