Distraction. For some it’s a rare burden. For many, it’s constant. Think about the distractions that surround you and stifle your creativity. Sometimes it’s the people or things around us—you know, family issues, or crazy coworker, or phone that’s blowing up in your pocket. Sometimes the distractions pop up inside your own head from your own poison thoughts. Or ill-time ideas that steal your focus. Shit, I have them myself. I may think I want this track to be doper than the other track, or my lyric could be better than the next emcee. That competitive pressure can stagnate you. Each new distraction makes us feel less in control. We create chaos, and at times, it feels like we’re completely surrounded. I’m not gonna tell you that you can escape or ignore the chaos. That’s fiction. I’m gonna show you how to embrace it.
