Listening to this song makes me want to get on the Westside highway and get Denny Hamlin on these slow sons of snitches. In fact, with all the new things happening and all the old nonsense we’ve had to overcome to keep EMPT thriving this song makes me want to go fast period…
This is my ending and my new beginning, Nostalgia Alpha and Omega places, It’s like a glitch in the Matrix… – Nas (Stillmatic)
They say patience is a virtue but that doesn’t mean one should loose a sense of urgency and speed. The truth is speed is just another one of those misunderstood concepts that we can completely control if we really want to. You ever notice how really good althletes have the ability to slow things down, for example how a gifted Nascar driver can avoid a crash going 200 miles an hour. How about a football player who catches a ball flying down the sideline and still has the precense of mind to put both his feet down a split second before he gets the life knocked out of him by a defender. Anyone that’s been in a car accident will always talk about how slow everything happens. To most of us this is a survival mechanism, yet some people turn it into careers. Contrary to popular belief, all that ability is learned but they don’t really teach that in school…
The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity. – The Art of Learning
I don’t know what all this has to do with today’s song but this is how it made me feel…
Just my thoughts ladies and gentleman, just what I’m feeling at the time… – Jay-Z (The Ruler’s Back)
That said I gotta get my ass of this chair and hit the ground running, enjoy.
