gardening the state of elevation...

i am most def looking forward to the show tomorrow night. i don't care how old i get, if i can move, i'm going to live shows.

those of us who truly l-ve the culture as fans, craftspeople, or both will serve the interest of the culture best by supporting the efforts of veteran hip-hop acts. the idea that artists simply fall off due to age is essentially intellectually deficient.

most of the artists i knew & respected when i 1st began to pursue my goals as an artist were older than i was. now there are more cats of various ages rocking. although some artists are my age & younger, it still comes down to the vets for supporting the core of the culture.

remember, it is the veterans who pass the torch to those who come behind. they light the way. if cats are still building on the solid foundation that they created, who is to say that they should stop at some arbitrary age?

tell that to all the vets in any other genre you choose to consider. veteran cats are still on tour, releasing albums, & generally smashing the genre of their choice. how is hip-hop any different?

no disrespect to newer/younger artists, but com'on folks...stop trippin'...

respect due!

PEACE

...be calm...
