It’s funny to think that journalists (or now bloggers or personalities) have been around for centuries, yet one hasn’t been President yet. Sure, running for public office is far from cheap and tons of back room haggling is part of our political process. But literally the bulk of what most journalists do each day is ask a range of people a range of questions. When you ask a lot of questions, you get a lot of answers and gain a lot of data, enough data to turn into (hopefully) useful information. Modern media lives off all kinds of conversations, even if the most contentious seem to be the ones that most often go viral. There are plenty of life gems that go under-noticed and under-appreciated. The same with the music. Perspective is everywhere. We just have to be open enough to embrace it. That’s what this new column series is about.
Included below are five quotes from different songs or conversations that lingered with us throughout the week. We’ll release a new list every Wednesday. Click the image if you’d like a deeper dive. Hopefully you’ll take away something positive from the peruse.

Youre the first person I’ve ever heard say that. When I met him at Rock the Bells he was super nice and we had an interesting conversation about being white in hip hop as a fan and an artist. He was very candid and seemed genuinely engaged. Why you say he’s an asshole?

Dope, hhdx
good idea, we need more positive vibes
The No Malice quote isn’t inspirational in any way. Really, it’s just sad, but sheep will be sheep!
How so? It could be inspirational in the sense of staying true to your beliefs and what you know to be truth, not letting others get in your head. Maybe you are the sheep. If anything the boozie one seemed to be lacking inspiration imo.
Censorship. The reason I’m deleting your bookmark. Fuck you “hip pop dx” Fucking slime balls
Please do. You’re bringing entirely too much negativity to a positive article. Troll elsewhere.
my question is how the staff of DX has enough time to sensor free speech but not enough time to put an effort in to proof reading their mistake filled, poor grammar/ terrible sentence structured articles
