"I love haters."
This is the slogan that became a trend among some of my fellow artists in the hip-hop industry. With this slogan, these artists glorify people who hate people with, may they be haters of cops, women, rival gangs, etc.

Just to keep it real, I don't consider myself a feminist. As a matter of fact, I still consider myself a conservative in spite of my hatred towards legalism and hyper-traditionalism.

When I was a little boy, I had a habit of browsing my elder brothers’ textbooks to look for anything interesting to read. I remember seeing a drawing of a dog in one of those textbooks.
