If he turns around and looks behind him things are changing. I had such a hard time with this right around middle school in the 90's when I couldn't deny my affinity for OTHER music. It's a tough space to be in, but once you own it, it's fuckin amazing cause you are truly blessed to be able to connect with so many different kinds of sounds and genres. I've gotten to a point now where I could care less about the black and white of it. I jsut want the vibes man. I do try and encourage ANYONE whether they are black or otherwise to not be afraid to trust what they are feeling if something appeals to them. THey may be doing themselves a MASSIVE disservice otherwise.

With youtube, spotify, ect and all of the festivals and shit now where everything is mashed up......this kind of shit really isn;t an issue anymore. I'm almost a little jealous of young kids now cause of their access and exposure to shit. I really had to go in for what I wanted. But it gave me a different appreciation and exclusiveness (which hipsters have exploited....."exclusive" doesn't mean what it used to mean.
