“A big reason for their hesitancy to become recording artists was that during their time at WBAU the Spectrum camp has been observing the harsh realities of the developing rap game. Inflated egos meant that they had to treat the upcoming acts who played at their gigs like kings. But after the shows the Spectrum crew would then drive those acts back to the same impoverished neighbourhoods that they'd always lived in. Driving supposed rap stars back to the projects made an impression. 'None of them were really getting paid off records so I was like, "Damn",' is how Chuck assessed the situation.”
Russell Myrie, Don't Rhyme for the Sake of Riddlin'

Frithjof Schuon
“L’« objectivisme » anti-émotionnel et facticement impassible trahit sa fausseté par la contradiction suivante : ceux qui se font les porte-parole d'une rationalité imperturbable et impertinente sont en même temps ceux qui préconisent l'amour libre — ils n’ont aucun goût à l'ascétisme — ou qui s’enflamment dès qu'on parle de politique, et autres inconséquences de ce genre ; ce qui prouve que leur « objectivité » n'est qu'erreur et ostentation, qu'elle est apparentée à l'orgueil et à l'amertume ; d'où la propension à blanchir les hommes vils — sauf quand par hasard ce sont des adversaires politiques — et à noircir les hommes de bien, calmement et sans passion, du moins sans passion visible ; c'est là un exemple de cette morale à sens unique, si caractéristique pour tous les genres d’hypocrisie. Quoi qu'il en soit, il faut réagir contre l'opinion psychanalytique — très répandue — que l’indignation aussi bien que l’enthousiasme révèlent toujours un préjugé ou un parti pris ; opinion simpliste qui est voisine d’une autre erreur non moins sotte, à savoir que dans une discorde nul n’a jamais tout à fait raison, et que celui qui s’emporte à toujours tort.”
Frithjof Schuon, Résumé de métaphysique intégrale
