## Caption

It is not the Hand or the Steel itself but the Will behind it that guides. There is no other way. It’s not a Talent an artist is born with or the Tools they use but the Will to make work is where they find success. If you never give up on your dreams, you’ll never fail. And if your dream is revenge like Conan, then you most likely have problems other than pursuing your dreams. 

I watched Conan the Barbarian recently and loved the soundtrack. Such epic sounds! It reminded me of a beat played in the background of the intro song on #Nas #illmatic. A tape that I wore out endlessly in my Walkman. I always wanted to know where this beat came from, and of course it’s from the birthplace of hip hop. The South Bronx!
