• MCs get a little bit of love and think they hot,
  Talkin bout how much money they got...all y'all records sound the same.

  Same scenes in the video, monotonous material.

  These record labels slang our tapes like dope.
  You can be next in line and signed, and still be writing rhymes and broke.

• I'm definitely going to bounce back, I don't doubt that one bit. The thing about this is you have to expect that when you're a back my age.

I still understand what the truth is to me, and that's what I believe. I don't really care what people say.

• Through spontaneity we are re-formed into ourselves. It creates an explosion that for the moment frees us from handed-down frames of reference, memory choked with old facts and information and undigested theories and techniques of other people's findings. Spontaneity is the moment of personal freedom when we are faced with reality, and see it, explore it and act accordingly. In this reality the bits and pieces of ourselves function as an organic whole. It is the time of discovery, of experiencing, of creative expression.

• We skim over the surface thoughtlessly. But we must acknowledge that thinking well is a time-consuming process. We can't expect instant results.

• Social Security is a solemn promise to kupuna like my 88-year-old mother that they can rely on the retirement they've earned. While I'm glad to see our seniors receive an increase for the second year in a row, I wish the cost-of-living adjustment could be larger. However, every little bit helps make a difference in these tough economic times.
