As the new, up-and-coming generation, we don't look back on how the things have come to be. Who has influenced you to wear your sneakers, to break-dance, to be an artist, to be a music-head, to sing, to be a writer, and all of that? Some people could even care less. Everybody wants to be the most exclusive out there, the newest, the freshest, the most unique.. but there's only a few out there that actually bring something real to the table. What do I mean? You need to know your history. You can't say anything about you being "fresh" if you don't know your roots. If you don't know anything about your history and you think you're the hottest on the block, in actuality, you're a goof who hasn't studied their art. It's our responsibility to carry on what is being passed down to us.

Know your roots. Study your classics. Research. Learn. Get educated.
