WORDS.
"...Kaleidoscope Dream is my metaphor for life. Everyone has their own kaleidoscope dream, and what I mean by that is that we’re all collecting ideas and beliefs and that has everything to do with how we act, how we react, the choices that we make and how we shape our subconscious thought patterns. All of those things put together, we’re creating our life and what we experience. It can directly influence and affect and create what it is that we’re experiencing in the future. Because I wanted this album to be a pure and honest projection of my lifestyle and my kaleidoscope dream. It was really important that I was very much involved in creating the sound, pulling in the textures, pulling in the colors. Painting honestly and trying to be as concise and true to what it was I was getting in my head. So it was really cool to work with this handful of producers, really taking seriously and understanding how important it was that this sound be mine. If I wasn’t producing the song, I was co-producing. If I wasn’t co-producing, I was playing on it. It was all very much a very personal journey, an honest interpretation of the sound of my head."- MIGUEL

Lupe has to find a way to be a bit more, I don't know, affable(?) when he starts dropping knowledge.#DREADLOCKSANDCOMPLAINTS

You can tell he's angry, & ain't nothin wrong w/that, but he does often sound like he's talkin down 2 his listeners #DREADLOCKSANDCOMPLAINTS

#BURN RT @natthedem@onetokenblack It's also be helpful if he had some actual knowledge to drop. (LUPE)

@natthedem I agree 7 disagree. I think when he gets his "observational brotha" on, he's on. On a micro level.
— snapbacks & cashews (@OneTokenBlack) September 27, 2012
@natthedem agree & disagree that is.
— snapbacks & cashews (@OneTokenBlack) September 27, 2012
@natthedem But yes, he often ventures off that & gets clunky.

THIS--->*drops mic* MT @the_blueprinthe slips in2 "conspiracy theorist who doesnt know shit but thinks they're smarter than u" 2 frequently

@the_blueprint Exactly. Reminds me why I fell behind dude in the 1st place. & why I'm more sympathetic towards his intellectual shortcomings

WORDS.
"...Every motivated, high-potential young American deserves a similar opportunity. But the majority of very smart kids lack the wherewithal to enroll in rigorous private schools. They depend on public education to prepare them for life. Yet that system is failing to create enough opportunities for hundreds of thousands of these high-potential girls and boys.
Mostly, the system ignores them, with policies and budget priorities that concentrate on raising the floor under low-achieving students. A good and necessary thing to do, yes, but we’ve failed to raise the ceiling for those already well above the floor.
Public education’s neglect of high-ability students doesn’t just deny individuals opportunities they deserve. It also imperils the country’s future supply of scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs.
...With their support for school choice, Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama have both edged toward recognizing that kids aren’t all the same and schools shouldn’t be, either. Yet fear of seeming elitist will most likely keep them from proposing more exam schools. Which is ironic and sad, considering where they went to school. Smart kids shouldn’t have to go to private schools or get turned away from Bronx Science or Thomas Jefferson simply because there’s no room for them."
