...the world we were going to make...
















"We were kids without fathers…so we found our fathers on wax and on the streets and in history, and in a way, that was a gift. We got to pick and choose the ancestors who would inspire the world we were going to make for ourselves…Our fathers were gone, usually because they just bounced, but we took their old records and used them to build something fresh."

- Jay-Z

(note: not a commentary on my own father, but I love the idea of drawing inspiration not from what you are born into but from the best resources available to you)
