		<description>In all seriousness, I think that any sort of argument occurring between whether its better to quote the poet precisely, or to find  different verses from the same work that boil his point down to its essence are, frankly, pointless.  The information in its entirety is available.  The information, as it was assembled by another artist, is available.  People are at a crossroads where they may view either and decide whether they prefer the wine or the brandy.  That is, whether they prefer a product with subtlety and tiny touches of flavor (the wine, or the original poem), or a product that makes one bold point, instead of many quiet ones (the brandy, being distilled wine, or the quote by Huey).

Fact is, though y&#039;all niggaz is fake niggaz, y&#039;all niggaz are illustrating a very relevant point, both in terms of the original meaning of the work, and in terms of whether it is the right of an artist to have his work viewed either in full, or not at all.  After all, without the guy in the middle, da Vinci&#039;s &quot;The Last Supper&quot; is merely &quot;Some Jews Grab Something to Eat&quot;.</description>

		<description>The full quote is from The Prophet; Pain, in 1923.
&quot;Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,&quot;</description>

		<description>Huey does quote Khalil Gabrin. The part about healing your sick self is also said by Khalil. They took MULTIPLE pieces of his various quotes to make that one quote. Just in case anyone hasn&#039;t noticed yet. Check. You can find them.</description>
