Jurny is a pioneer of Christian Hip Hop, but his rhymes are definitely more hip hop than the average Christian. He is a battle rapper who embodies the larger than life indominable spirit that makes hip hop fun to listen to and regurgitate.
He's one of the rappers I quote the most when I'm feeling good about myself. But he's not the one I quoted in the comments.
One of my Facebook friends jokingly suggested that I lacked humility because I suggested that I deserved to be successful. One of my favorite quotes from Wed White and Wu just fell out:
"It showed me last time I felt humble, I took some pride in my humility. What a stumble." -The artist formerly known as Playdough (from The Ego Has Landed, track 12 on Wed White and Wu) Doing the art on Wed White and Wu was fun. I have been very fortunate to attract lots of musicians that I admire to work with.
It takes a fair amount of audacity to even attempt to make a living as an artist. Toeing the line between confidence and arrogance is part of the job. I make an effort to stay on the good side of that line.
On that note, I gotta go, fam. Thanks again for reading, and have a great day!
