I live in hip-hop. I don't find it to be offensive.
It's very simple: When you're working your hardest, the world opens up to you.
You've got to do things that promote what's important.

I like to move towards a place where my greatest experience is promoting happiness for others. I know that that creates a cycle of the same great experience.
