“Everything that’s out now…rap wise and music wise in general [is whack]. I mean, you know whack when you see it. So I’m on a crusade against whackness, and I hope no whackness comes my way. That’s my move, my mission for this record: to combat whackness on all fronts – to make sure that people know what quality music is. It’s not so much about message, but have something to say.” PeopleKnowsWayMeanMovingQualityRecordsWiseFrontsMessagesMusic IsRapMissionsMy WayCombatCrusadesQuality Music Author:Jeru the Damaja
“To determine whether or not you have the ingredients to be charismatic, answer the following questions: What are your real feelings about who you are? What do you believe in? Do you have goals or a mission in life? Do you project optimism? Do others turn to you for leadership? Noncharismatic people spend their lives auditioning for others and hoping they'll be accepted. Charismatic people don't doubt their ability to add value to a situation, so they move forward with their mission.” PeopleBelieveRealFeelingsMovingValuesTurnsGoalAbilityAnswersSituationDoubtProjectsOptimismWho You AreAddDetermineFollowingMissionsAcceptedMoving ForwardIngredientsCharismaticMissions In LifeReal Feelings Book:You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are Source: You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are
