ORIGINALITY

A few nights ago, my friend Stevie D (you'll be hearing a lot more from him soon!) and I were talking on the topic of originality. With all the tools readily available, it's easier than ever for almost anyone with even the slightest amount of ambition to start a band or make beats, start a t-shirt company, or start a BLOG. Now that you are "ready" a question arises: What's going to set you apart from the millions of people trying to do the same thing? Sincerity. You gotta admit, coming up with an original idea seems like an almost impossible task these days. But if you truly have love for your craft, and do it with honesty and sincerity, you're already a step up from those who are just out for money and their 15 minutes. So if you're one of the many who are doing it for the wrong reasons, stop and find your own niche. And if you're already doing what you love to do or know what you want to do, stay up and stay true.
