Welcome to this edition of GOOD QUESTION, brought to you by THISent.com! I’m your columnist M.J. Walker.
Throughout my illustrious career as an entertainment writer and journalist, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to speak with many notable and famous persons. One of them is Hip Hop legend and cultural icon DJ Jazzy Jeff!
During our conversation I asked Jeff THIS GOOD QUESTION:Is your plan really to put everything out whether it’s for sale or free?
He answered, “That is something that I strongly believe in. I have to practice what I preach.
Somebody pointed out to me, do you think Picasso only painted pictures when he got paid for them? Or did he see a really dope sunset and painted it? Some shit you sell, some shit you do for yourself, some you do for your friends.
The late great J-Dilla made sure when he hooked up with Peanut Butter Wolf before he was passing to get all his stuff out.
If you’ve got something that people like, don’t not give it to them! I know a bunch of greats that’s got a bunch of great music just sitting there because they’re waiting for somebody to pay for it. God gave you this gift, but you’re not going to give it to people because they haven’t paid you for it. That’s selfishness.
I just think it’s very important to get it out. If you’ve got something that people like, don’t not give it to them!” |THIS.
