The one reason I believe I am trapped in the rinse cycle with rap and hip-hop music is because of its future thinking.
I find this to be especially true with the Blueprint 3 album.
Jay Z’s line gets me, “It’s all about progression, loiterers should be arrested.”
I feel that we as a society are very past oriented.
Nowhere do we continuously look at the present but see the past more often than in our own mirrors. Rarely do we ascribe to the future what already exists in the present more than in our own self-perception.

How do we break out of this past and self-perception focus?
We need to remember.
Memories are intended to be fuel for future faith. They aren’t intend to become an alternative reality in which we choose to hide.
