the black album came out yesterday (friday). of course, if this were something that you really cared about, then you already knew this. anyway, I was reading on a message board that jay-z shouts out talib kweli and common on it. pretty sweet, I think, because now more people will probably give 'em a listen.
but then later on in the thread, someone was like "who ever peeps com, and kewli just cuz jay-z said there names are losers.....they aint real fans.....we know who we are that liked em since back in the day thats all dat matters" (apparently, the person that posted this has no sense of spelling or grammar...brilliant).
this bothers me. makes me wanna put my foot straight up dude's ass. where does the tendency or desire to be snobbish come from? clearly, there is too much stuff out there for anyone to know everything. but for some reason, as soon as some people get their hands on something that others may not know about, they just haaave to play the "I got some ice cream, and you ain't got none" card. that's lame. what is important is not what you know or how much you know; what is important is what you do with that knowledge. share what you know with others, so that they too will know...not so that you can say that you knew from day one and that because they didn't that they're losers or aren't real or whatever. can you imagine if teachers did that? what?!...you don't know your abc's?! loser. well, actually, there are teachers like that. that's something else. that makes me sad.
anyway...don't be a snob. don't be a hater. be true. be real.
where is the love? it starts with you (me too).
