Understanding Backwards Through Christian Existentialism and Hip Hop
Seeing that it’s the new year I’m sure we’re all reflecting back on what we’ve done and what we’ve accomplished. On this tip I’ve been thinking a lot about the Soren Kierkegaard quote:
“Life is understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.”
We all want more, but at the same time life is lived in the now on the daily grind. To put this into perspective I’ve researched the life of some of the top hustlers in hip hop to see where they can from. We all know Nas, Biggie and Jay-Z as the kings of hip hop but they were not overnight success stories. They all honed their craft through mentors and hustling on the daily. It’s refreshing to see them as fresh faced kids.
I’m no hip hop star or have any aspirations to become one, but I think we can all apply this model to whatever our passions and industry of influence are. Thanks to my mentors and collaborators from 2008.
