like it's crazy but the more i understand the world of art and commerce and fashion the more i realise how truly corny everyone is.
i used to take my cool for granted. never again. you shoudn't either.
when companies come for your cool make em pay. make it expensive for them to do you. whether its immediate or the long con make them pay.
i dont really mean money when i say expensive. i mean always make a company risk something pricey to associate with you.
just value your cool for reals people. don't let motherfuckers skate when they do shit that cheapens your cool like 'street style'.

i often wonder how many good artists die in NY daily that we'll never discover because they suffered from a lack of distribution.
it's okay kid. it's okay to die cool and poor. let's stop 'failure' shaming people that live with their mama. do you.
know your worth. the money you're offered is rarely what you're worth anyway. power. power is what you want.

Q i feel like crying all the time, what's wrong with me?
A you have an extreme case of human

(what's a conspiracy you believe but haven't told anyone because you don't want people to think you're crazy?):
- sometimes i feel like peole can read my thoughts. not always and i have a pretty wandering mind so hopefully this isn't true.
- i believe i'm a retard but everybody is pretending i'm not.
- i honestly believe i have a stutter. i don't really think about it, b ut i can sometimes catch myself saying the same words over again. it's not a big one or anything that will cause me to have social problems, but i would have repeated about a fifth of the words i've typed in this comment if i had been saying them aloud in a conversation. no one, and i mean no one, has agreed with me when i bring it up. also, i always feel like it's a task to tell a small story during a conversation. it kind of messes with me because i am always thinking in one straight, cohesive string. i don't stutter when i think, just when i speak.. sometimes.. i think.
- i believe i may have suffered a small stroke or some form of mild brain trauma because everything i do feels as if its in a fog. thinking, reading, hell even going about my day. i certainly don't feel as if i'm learning things as well as i could when i was younger starting some time in my junior year of high school.
- rocks are soft, they just tense up when touched.
- that our minds can see into the future its just not something we understand, we get very fast flashes of the future and then we live the event at some point in the future it feels like deja vu.
- the fashion industry was behind every political assassination of the last 200 years.
- sometimes i wonder if i'm actually yelling out all my thoughts really loudly and people just ignore me because they're used to it.
- Lyme disease was created as a means of biological warfare. we brought over tonnes of Nazi scientists after WW2, one of which was fascinated with using ticks and other insects as a means to spread disease. he was stationed on plumb island near Lyme, CT. a few decades after his arrival, the first incident of 'Lyme disease' occurred after people were bitten by ticks. i don't believe it was intentionally released into the public, but i do think it was an engineered bacteria.
- that time is a loop and we've all been experiencing the universe in the exact same order for eternity. thus meaning that when we die even though it may take an amount of time that we can't even fathom, our universe and everything in it will be delicately rearranged exactlly how it is / was / will be.
- that my life has already been predetermined and that everyone around me is just acting accordingly.

'they have no idea what it is like to lose home at the risk of never finding home again | have your entire life split between two lands and become the bridge between two countries'

'i just wanted people to get across something that they don't normally talk about, and why aren't they talking about it. i mean, i feel that way: why am i pretending to be Troy? wha am i rapping about puns? when actually, i'm araid that my parents are gonna die or i'm afraid that i'm going to be Tyrese [Gibson].
those feelings are the types of things that connect us, not showing the car you drove or the stack you have.
i used to have this fantasy that when i turn 78 i would do everything i hadnt done thus far. i'm going to do heroin, kill a person, blow dudes, just everything that's left to do in life. but as i get older, i realise that there's a good chance that i won't even make it to 78. first of all, i'm a black male. secondly, every male in my family has a lifespan of like mid-60s. so technically, i'm mid-life right now, even though i'm not that old.
but that's how i started looking at shit, so i started to wonder why i'm doing stuff.
why am i trying so hard to be nice to the guy at the ATM and making him not scard of me, or why am i not doing drugs, why am i living for other people?'

everbody's somebody's everything
nobody really cares if you don't go to the party
i like Charlie Murphy's description of a troll: 'Habitual Line-Stepper'
it's about who you miss at 2pm when you're busy, not 2am when you're lonely

'i hope i've never made it. i hope i never make it. i wake up every morning, and i'm like, i gotta fucking get this. i gotta be better. i gotta be better. i don't think i'll ever feel satisfied.'

'on the difficult days, when the world's on your shoulders, remember that diamonds are made under the weight of mountains'
- 'diamonds'
'i don't care if what we have will never be love. if we weren't together in a past life or written in the stars. all you need to know is that when my mind wanders off it is always home to you.
- 'wandering minds'
'it's a strange thing to see you now and be unable to recall how it felt to love you. like a half remembered dream, the essence of what we shared is there but the details are hazy. like a house i grew up in, you're still familiar to me, but the feeling of home is missing.'
- 'half remembered dream'
'the most painful part of losing you was that it didn't matter how close, how familiar we became with one another over the years, it only took a fraction of the time to become total strangers again - for the texture of your touch, the melody of your voice, to become a distant memory.'
- 'familiarity'
'you're a miracle, i still believe that. you just happened to someone else.'
- divine intervention
'i know behind that big brave front is something soft. something that dismantles whenever your song comes on. that still twists up tight when you hear his voice. your prescription, take care of yourself. eat well and rest up. love, like all illness, takes time to sweat out.'
- 'the fever'
- Beau Taplin

earlier this year, Kanye West told media that he hates to smile in photos because of an old book he picked up in a Paris flea market, that showed portraits of 19th Century nobility posing in staunch outfits while looking very serious.
