Listening to that tape though, something just clicked and I was inspired to write. <br />To my surprise, the rhymes I was writing about homophobia and Cthulhu were actually pretty good, and my flow (though admittedly lacking breath control) wasn&#39;t bad either.<br /><br />So I guess what I&#39;m saying is thanks for inspiring me to write and to try something new. More generally, thanks for making awesome music.<br /><br />High hopes for 2012,<br />Gear<br /><br />P.S. In regards to Confessions of a White Rapper, I&#39;d listened to Conscious is Not Enough twice before I actually saw a picture of you; up to that point I&#39;d assumed you were Hispanic. So yeah.Gifted Gearnoreply@blogger.com
