Hey man, if there are a handful of creative people, there's got to be someone spending time appreciating it, or there's no audience.
There is not a single creator who does not also consume.
I'm on the plane listening to the college dropout. It brings back so many memories. When we made it I had all 6 parents, 4 grandparents and my mom and dad. Now I have my dad and my grandfather. Music is so nostalgic. Every song I listen to brings me back to when I first played them for my mom, when I first played from for Dame, when I first played them Jay, when I first played them for Kweli, when I first played them…
Really - it almost works as Beat Poetry.
I laughed.
If those "niggas" are the underdogs, what should we call the "niggas" dying in Haiti?

"We used to be the niggas rocking polo shirts, Louie back packs, paper denim jeans, and exclusive Adidas from Sporty LA. We were the underdogs." I laughed. If those "niggas" are the underdogs, what should we call the "niggas" dying in Haiti?

I don't think they're mutually exclusive. Where does this urge and feeling of a responsibility to create come from? Preservation of the ego, legacy, a feeling of importance.. all things that fame and recognition fuel. It's a bit like economic motivation in capitalism.
