Mos Def: "Hip Hop"
[audio: http://rubyhornet.com/media/rh/music/mos_def_hip_hop.mp3|width=180]I definitely learned some valuable lessons over the last week about how the music industry, and the Chicago "scene" works in particular. Ups and downs are a normal part of any profession, but for anyone who rides a high too much or lets a down drag them way down, entertainment, fashion, music, can be a tough road. I've learned the hard way about both, and currently don't get too gassed when something goes right, and have learned to shrug off something going kind of wrong. Another thing that I've seen is appearance substituting for work, and when that happens, and you get caught up in going to all the parties etc...your work, or at least my work, my writing, my interviews, my networking, can and does suffer. This weekend pretty much put all of that into a microcosm for me, and on the other end of it now, I feel like I've regained part of myself, the part that wanted to do all this in the beginning.
