What is the difference between ‘What do you think of’ and ‘What do you think about’?
Of is more general and about is more specific. Let’s for example refer to an opinion about a person, Mary.What do you think of Mary vs What do you think about Mary?In this case “of” is referring to Mary in general, and asking for an opinion about her as a person.“About” is more specific and should include some sub-topic. As in, What do you think about Mary’s new dress? What do you think about Mary’s attitude? What do you think about Marys…..Otherwise it’s inconclusive. About has to focus on something more specific than of, hence needs a qualifying subject, whereas “of” is generally covering everything that belongs to Mary’s personality, person, character.Though for the latter, we can use of and about as one in the same.What do you think of Mary’s new dress?What do you think about Mary’s new promotion?But about cannot be left hanging without its subject compliment, as in what the sentence is specifically referring to. Otherwise we could qualify this as in sayingWhat do you think about Mary in general/over-all?
Do you think there is a market for clean commercial rap music, rated G for everyone?
Great question, unfortunately it comes with multiple answers…Do you think there is a market for clean commercial rap music.Absolutely! Not everyone likes to hear cursing and as much as I love rap music, I don’t always want to hear raunchy or suggestive lyrics. I’m not alone on this. Several artists have made careers as clean rappers or have at least made clean songs. Will Smith The Fresh Prince, Lupe Fiasco (kick skate) Mos Def (UMI says) A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie (wrote at least one clean song for his mother) and arguably the greatest rapper ever, Rakim didn’t curse until the second half of his career. In fact most rappers during the pioneering stage in hip hop didn’t curse on wax period.Rated GHere’s where things get sticky. What constitutes rated G? I would argue most music isn’t rated G. PG maybe but not G. Turn off the lights and let’s get closer isn’t exactly Disney Channel material. Disney Channel material isn’t exactly Disney channel material. There’s sexually suggestive innuendos all through those shows, but thats another Quora question and answer. The point is as an adult it’s hard to write about purely rated G topics unless you are rapping about the solar system or nuclear fission.For EveryoneThis you absolutely cannot do. You can not write music for everyone. You won’t be able to please everyone. Some people love rap, others hate it. It doesn’t matter if it’s clean or not. The key is to be yourself and find the market that likes you.Its very possible to write clean rap music for a commercial audience. My advice would be not to tell them it’s clean. Let them figure it out. In fact I recently wrote a blog discussing how explicit lyrics may be killing your careerLastly I would be remiss not to suggest going beyond rapping. Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live. The great wordsmiths in the hip community are called Emcees. Mic Controllers, crowd motivators, Masters of Ceremonies. Elevate your wordplay and go beyond simple rapping. No one will even notice you don’t curse.Michael C SmithExecutive Music ConsultantCarltonsmithmusic.com

Richest actor of all time?
Tom Cruise. He takes large paychecks in all of his films anyway, but some of his bigger films, such as War Of The Worlds and so on, he takes 20% profit participation. Considering the amount of money WOTW took (Approx $600 million worldwide), it seems a lot of people won't be touching him anytime soon. This is on top of his many producer credits. In another (slightly off-topic) point, George Lucas is the richest director of all time (having created Lucasarts, Industrial Light and Magic, Indiana Jones, and the ever popular Star Wars universe), and is worth in the region of $4 billion.
Is it just me or does anyone else see the problem with depicting sentient monsters such as "orcs" and "goblins" as the de-facto bad guys in video games and movies?
It’s not just you. It’s a fundamental question which arises frequently in tabletop RPGs lately, and it’s making its way mainstream.In Dungeons and Dragons, where alignment is a rigidly defined variable with nine potential states, if a creature is in one of the three Evil categories (Chaotic, Neutral, Lawful), how does that darkness manifest, and just how irredeemable does it make them? Can they be converted to Neutral or Good, or is that alignment characteristic ultimately inherent to their nature?It’s up to the DM/GM to determine how racial alignment works in their campaign, and ideally it starts with a conversation between the person running it and what the players are hoping to do.The Pathfinder SRD on Alignment even brings up some ethical questions on the topic you may find interesting.Additionally, the recent Will Smith/Noomi Rapace movie, Bright, deals with the first-ever Orc hired by the Los Angeles Police in an alternate timeline where magical beings coexist with humans.Years ago, Blizzard developed and then canceled a game called Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans, which showed the orcs to be noble, tribe-based creatures that had an alternate value system.
