“The worst part is that if you become part of a major - all these independent labels become farm teams for your corporate parent. Basically, you do all the work for years, blowing up an artist - you discover them, blow them up, you build their fan base. And then that artist is like, "Okay, now I'm here. Now I want more. I want to be bigger." And you're either going to be able to accommodate them, you're going to be able to figure out how to take that step with them, or you're going to lose them.” IfsWantYearsAbleArtistParentLosesStepsTeamFansWorstFiguresMajorsOkayBiggerIndependentBlowLabelsCorporateFarmsAccommodateBlowing Up Author:El-P

“I think people's perception is that when you're famous, you want people to love you. That's a big part of why people become famous, because they don't just want love, they want it on a grand scale. But once you realize - and it's not a big trick to really figure it out - that it's just completely artificial, an external pumping of the ego that's never going to really help you, then it's an easy thing to step out of it.

“Within each of us exists the image of God, however disfigured and corrupted by sin it may presently be. God is able to recover this image through grace as we are conformed to Christ. Just as the figure of David lay hidden within the marble, discernible only to the eye of its creator, so the image of God (however tarnished by sin) lies within us, see and known by God Himself. Yet God loves us while we are still sinners. He doesn't have to wait until we stop sinning. Acceptance of His love is a major step along the road that leads to our liberation from the tyranny of sin.” MayStillsEyeAbleLyingWaitingChristSinLove IsKnownStepsGraceFiguresAcceptanceMajorsLaysCreatorTyrannyLiberationGod LoveSinnerHis LoveMarbleGod ImageSinningGod Loves UsGod Is Able Author:Alister E.
