“The whole point of 'Acid Rap' was just to ask people a question: does the music business side of this dictate what type of project this is? If it's all original music and it's got this much emotion around it and it connects this way with this many people, is it a mixtape? What's an 'album' these days, anyways?” PeopleIfsWayDoeWholeAsksSidesEmotionTypeProjectsOriginalsAlbumsRapThese DaysAcidMusic BusinessMixtapesOriginal Music Author:Chance the Rapper
“I admire anyone who can come up with something original.

“Deceit for personal gain is one of history's most recurring crimes. Man's first step towards change would be thinking, counter-arguing, re-thinking, twisting, straightening, perfecting, then believing every original idea he intends to make public before making it public. There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.” ThinkingMenFirstsBelieveMayIdeasWould BeEmotionStepsMankindCrimeGainsUltimateAbsolutesOriginalsArguingDeceitAgendasFirst StepsAngleAbsolute TruthOriginal IdeasRecurringPersonal Gain Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“Hemingway, damn his soul, makes everything he writes terrifically exciting (and incidentally makes all us second-raters seem positively adolescent) by the seemingly simple expedient of the iceberg principle - three-fourths of the substance under the surface. He comes closer that way to retaining the magic of the original, unexpressed idea or emotion, which is always more stirring than any words.

“I want characters to have voices that feel authentic, unique, honest, fresh and original - all at once. Part of that authenticity is evoking genuine emotion across life - the sadness, passion, love, sense of loss, missed opportunities, and confusion even.

“Eliminate mental muddiness and obscurity; keep your mind crystal clear. Allow your pure original insight to emerge. Quiet your emotions and abide in serenity.

“Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of mind with His truth; the purifying of imagination by His Beauty; the opening of the heart to His love; the surrender of will to His purpose - and all of this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.” MindHeartSelfPurposeImaginationSinEmotionSourceWorshipCapableConscienceOriginalsSurrenderOpeningChiefsHolinessSelflessRemedySubmissionHis LoveAdorationNourishmentOriginal SinPurifyingSelf CenterednessCenterednessQuickeningWorship Music Book:Readings in St. John's Gospel ...
