Though I am often screaming Virgo this and Virgo that, I actually don't know a lot about signs like many who speak on the tides, moon, sun, and mercury rising (sarcasm). I do know a lot about our personalities and that even though Gemini's are hard for us to deal with at times, we actually get along with an understand each other very well. 

The artist SAINt JHN is one that I have watched and enjoyed listening to since I heard about him from Mal on the Joe Budden Podcast. I say artist because that's what he is, his style can't be put in one box, he has too many angles and ways to create. Saint JHN is a Virgo. 

The artist Kanye West is on that I have watched and enjoyed listening to since “Through the Wire” and the mixtape he put out which had “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” with Mos and Freeway, and the joint with Carl Thomas. I say artist, because time and time again Kanye has shown that he was many facets to his art. Kanye is a Gemini. 

In a HIPHOPDX article written by Mark Elibert, I highlighted the SAINt JHN quote 

“I was happy with just the words,” JHN added. “I was happy just playing it for somebody that shared the same lineage of wild, bold listeners that would allow him to create something that didn’t exist. If I was in that lineage, if I was from that bloodline, then I made it already. So before we had a song, I had a great memory. Now I got a great memory and a great song out of it, and it just happened to be played for me.” 

That quote stuck out to me because they were too like minded individuals speaking on the same frequency in regards to music and creating, in Kanye and JHN – obviously Kanye has been in the media for many different things, but in this specific engagement the topic was music and creating. 

Sometimes it's not about the co-sign or feature, it's about getting that nod of approval from people you may have admired or looked up to on your climb to reach something. If you were a fan of a famous actor, and he saw you on a cameo appearance for a TV show, and he said “I saw you on The Wall is Blue, you're going to do great things in your career” that might be the all you need to go even harder than you were going before, as opposed to playing in a movie with him that got super low ratings. 

As SAINt JHN said later on, he wasn't seeking a feature, but it made things even more sweeter-
