“I've reinvented myself every year since 1998, and my style's still changing. It's grittier now. I always gotta try something new. I've grown up. Then I was rapping; now I do music, I write albums. But my distinctive voice and style, people still can't catch it. They're still asking me, "What were you saying on that song?".” PeopleWritingTryingSongStyleRapSomething New Author:Keak da Sneak
“I'm just talking in my songs about what's going on, what's exactly happening right now. If I was upset about something, I wrote a song. There's nothing I can't speak on.

You can feel my pain, you can hear me turning my pain into a party. I'm not gonna let no one take the fun out of it.” HeartBookPainSongSpeakFunPartyUpsetLife ExperienceRepresentation Author:Keak da Sneak

“Whenever we remember a series of events, we remember them different. We are constantly changing. It's a flaw, but on the other hand, when we say a word, the meaning is not what you put into it. Rather, the meaning of the word is all of the past usages of that word. Like this cloud that makes up the meaning of the word. It's your subject if you write. For instance what you put in that word and what you assume it means, even its flaw. It has a general agreement.” WritingMeanDifferentPastRememberAssumingFlaws Author:Pipilotti Rist
