Blink once. Not twice.

I feel like I'm not like the rest, so I prefer not to be categorized.Yes, I am an emcee (tis true) ... but I'm more than just rhythmic language. I am an artist. I hold back for the sake of embarrassment. But ... that shit has got to stop. I watch videos of greats and soon-to-be legends like Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Francis and the Lights, Florence and the Machine, Erykah Badu, Michael Jackson, Little Dragon and see that although they do/did music as everybody else, everyone else didn't/don't do music like them. It's the innate, raw, and natural artistry that a lot of mainstream artists of today lack. Now, if you want to hear real music you have to search wide and dig deep. Or sometimes it's right in front of you and you just choose to ignore it through selective perception. So ... from extensive self-evaluation and self-realization ... I've decided to change my perspective. I'm not sure if my fans will understand it but hopefully they'll still support. I've decided to look elsewhere for influence and inspiration. It's needed. Not for the sake of being noticed. But for the sake of sanity.
