The post below is from Donwill<\/a> of Tanya Morgan’s fantastic blog, MCDayJob.com<\/a>, which you should definitely be checking if you’re not already.\u00c2\u00a0 Don posts up all sorts of stuff but catch him on the right day and you’ll get a perfect mix of clever introspection, snarky humor and emo ranting about rap.\u00c2\u00a0 The post below reminds me of the phrase I always use to describe what I’m lucky enough to be doing and how fortunate I feel; “15 year old me’s mind would be blown by what I do every day”.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyways, check out Don’s rant and whether you’re an MC, DJ, producer, musician or whatever, hopefully it’ll inspire you a little bit.<\/p>\n

P.S. How dope are those goggles?\u00c2\u00a0 Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!<\/p>\n

You see that guy in the picture rapping? He had probably just played the Root\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Illadelph Halflife or Tribe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Beats Rhyme\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and Life a few hours or days before this picture was taken and never once imagined the guys who made those records would be a phone call or email away. I bet if I could walk into this scene and inform the people in the room of what 2011 would be like they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d lose their minds.<\/p>\n

That guy in the picture was honestly pretty damn cool. He made art because well he liked making art. Everything in his life was just making art. From the way he rolled his blunts to just being brave enough to walk around wearing Oakley ski goggles in the summer. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t about making one big epic statement. It was about making small meaningful ones consistently.<\/p>\n

The music that this photograph captures had no idea what a blog was, didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care about a soundscan report, wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thinking about a budget and sure as hell wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worried about a cosign. The only thing the music you see in this picture cared about was what word came next and how it made the person making it feel.<\/p>\n

Make art. Make it consistent and make it personal. Make it urgent. Share it and know that whether people loved or hated it the most important thing is that they were not indifferent towards it.<\/p>\n

*ask ilyas, i rolled the best blunts in the world. hands down
\n**rocking goggles was the shit, whether or not you agree<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
