Q Strange - RETURN TO STRANGELAND, Tech diss

[Kungfu Vampire]

1. A true artist doesn't give a shit if people bite names of albums or songs, they rise to the occasion and keep creating for more people to copy them. By doing so one stays ahead of the curve as apposed to dwelling on the past. (which keeps one on top, not reaching for anything to get attention)

2. Tech didn't copy shit, there's billions of people on the planet and people recycle ideas constantly on a global scale without even knowing it. The label is called STRANGE so it makes sense to call it Strangeland.

3. Strangeland is a movie that came out in 1998 or some shit, so they both weren't original in their ideas if you wanna get technical.

It can be said that there are no original ideas; only uniquely distinct ideas that share a collective similarity to other things that have been seen in ones life.

death of originality ?

It's a decent diss, but the fact that he sounds like a scorned fan takes away any little bit of credibility he has. He knew too much about Tech to be dissing him.

death of originality ?

Homer and Aesop both retold stories that were centuries old.

If there's a "death of originality", it occurred centuries ago.

What I'm saying is that we are subconsciously soaking in everything, and not very often does an idea spark in your own mind that drastically changes the way you perceive something.

You ever look at a simple mechanical device and figure out how it works? Somebody already created it, but now you understand the way in which it functions. Then, you notice a flaw in its system, and then change it to work more efficiently.

If this concept sounds familiar, look up Thomas Edison's studies. He was not the creator of the light bulb, rather he perfected its design.

This analogy can be used even in music. I'm not defending stealing or copying, I'm just saying that we are more stimulated by our environment than we initially think.
