39. "That reminds me of what Talib Kweli said about his" In response to In response to 21
Mixtape, that he was being critized for working with all of these famous artists that arent considered to be in his league. But he said that he doesnt work with those artists, that he works with the real faces behind the coonery. You know, you said something simular to this quote that I inputted into my journal:
"Nothing is what it seems to Be."
And my cousin said the same shit like "dont go into some underground loving bullshit, cause rap is rap. Even those acts on the radio that seem coonish arent as foolish as they may seem."
Still something puzzles me, like that Chicken quote. I understand what it said, and it ties into my theory of how we are al influenced by our surroundings, and that we have to be exposed to a idea before thought and the many possiblites emerge, but how do you explain us OKPers? why is it that we who claim to love music dismiss these other acts if they dont fit into our boundaries of what we like (like claiming BEP is coonery when there are a lot more worse examples)? Is that just limited thinking on our part? What is the boundry between limited thinking and just liking everything your introduced to(almost like a baby)? And is there a in-between ground?
Sorry for the long post or If I seem like Im asking soo many questions, but I just need some help seeing this through.
