I think the hip hop world and the rock world still have a lot in common, but it certainly seems like things happen and break at a much faster pace in the hip hop world. ↗
Things happen to everybody in the course of a lifetime. Relationships end, people die, tragedy befalls everyone. So everyone has this wealth of experience, and the older you are the more you have to draw on. ↗
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. ↗
