IN CLASS

"I don't give a fuck if you don't know what I'm talking about- this is art. When you go see a painting on the wall and it looks bugged out because you don't know what the fuck he thinking, because he ain't got no benches, no trees there, it's just a splash. The n**** that did it know what the fuck it is." - Ghostface Killah, from "The Wu-Tang Manual" 2005
