IT IS OUR RESPONSIBLITY TO UPLIFT THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. Do you truly get this? Everything may seem so heavy but each of us has the power to vibrate at a higher frequency and wash away the weight of the past. Each of us can raise the consciousness of those around us. BE AWARE

[@ShufflerMatt]

You have to be super High to understand this, FYI guys.

[@RobCCTV]

I am all for creativity, if it has value to society. My "creations" have made me known all over the world. It has made me a successful man. I will not go into details, other than to say that your assumptions are SO wrong. All I heard in that video was a rhythmic rant; a rant by a man trying to impress fools with a poor vocabulary that what he says is clever and/or original and/or deep.

[@CongestedPike]

@ThoughtControl imma reply to a comment you posted 3 years ago

[@fractalchez]

Well, I've never heard of you, and I make a point of trying to learn as much about different art forms and artists as possible. However, not only did I hear something very different than what you heard in that video, but *every* person I have introduced it to has as well. No "value to society"? It seems that society disagrees with you. But then, Mr. Williams preaches here about raising us all up, whereas your focus seems to be bringing people down, so maybe we have irreconcilable standards.

[@lilmexi30]

Is he rapping ? Lol

[@AnxietyPulp]

Well, the name of this rhythmic rant is "Coded Language" so I thought there was some due ambiguity. Also, look, there's no way we can really quantify the societal value of any one piece, it's pointless to quibble or to insinuate that only organisms of low intelligence could enjoy this or that piece. I thought if it was enjoyed, then that is the aim being fulfilled lest it was geared towards some grander influence. Still, characterizing its value will always be subjective. You seem jaded.

[@Padmakshya]

Wtf you dont have to be high to understand this..

[@AnxietyPulp]

It's funny, how much creativity does it take to tear something down? I imagine that to be the profession of someone with stunted intelligence. All you probably do is consume media and then shit on what you don't like, while contributing nothing. Do yourself a favor and stop criticizing those who create.
