Hate him or love him. This is art.

This is the hip hop I remember listening to as a kid. The dudes who said what was not always the most comfortable but rang true. The Artists! 

Great Artists Ship! So to add to his genius he carried that creativity into the marketing of the song. Having 66 projectors placed all over the States to premier his song on walls of buildings. That's Art!

Standing still and avoiding the flashiness of the usual hip hop videos so that you can only focus on his words. That's Art! 

Both inspiring and challenging. That's Art!

Take-Aways:

1. Create ART not just music.

2. Great artists ship! So when you are getting your music out there, be creative with how you do it.

3. If you are going to get your music out there you should at least have something you believe is important to say.
