  2. Imaginations Canvas – Its whatever you want the world to be. Your imagination is the paint, world is your canvas, create wonderful artworks of any genre, music, plays, movies. its all art.

  3. Alright so I hope I getting the correct understanding of this contest but here we go:

    The only way I can truly convey my thoughts on the subject (Imagination’s Canvas), is to remind myself of a time before my imagination was tainted by the “should and should-be’s” that society placed in my mentality. I can recall that this “canvas” was set upright on an eisel otherwise known as hope. So everytime my imagination would paint a picture, my hope was there to support it’s beauty. I guess that’s why today I try to maintain my imagination, because with that comes my originality, and an individual that is lacking originality is no more than a conformed citizen who lacks the ability to deviate him/herself from the rest of the crowd. I give an immense amount of credit to my imagination and canvas in which it paints its pictures, because without it I would be just another speck of ink on a Seurat painting as opposed to being the flowering rose that every blade of grass envies in a garden.

  4. Imagination canvas is the notion that the mind is infinite. When creating a classic hip hop album or record you must paint the picture on your imagination canvas. This canvas is blank and as I previously said infinite. Therefore hip hop is also infinite and there is no limit to what it can achieve. As much as can be imagined is as much as can be achieved and therefore a truly creative hip hop record is an example of something that has been created on an imagination canvas.

  5. imaginations canvas… I think of multi-layered arts. I see everyday as my canvas. Having said that, everyday is brought possible by someone else’s imagination. A repeating cycle. The innovations made years ago, have made an everlasting affect on my imagination and thought process. I live in a semi-secure world brought possible by the idea that all police will protect me that was instilled from my childhood. My fathers imagination that nothing will harm me in this world. I was his canvas. My parents imagined having the American dream (which was the imagination of a bunch of idiots, and our minds where their canvas), with a nice home, children, and all of that other jazz. The world was theirs to make. While planning all of this, another man from five cities away, imagined a way to get ahead of life, by setting others behind him. Our lives was his canvas.. In short, I feel that the imaginations canvas is what the very fiber of life is. An ongoing dream turned to nightmare brought by another’s dream.

  9. Imaginations canvas to me is the people who you are puttin your idea’s out to. Your mind comes up with all these idea’s, which in all should be your idea’s. That’s where originality comes from. Not just trying to do something different for the sake of trying to be original, but just being you because in essence we’re all different people. And when you share all those thoughts and idea’s with the people around you they become your canvas, in turn sparking inspiration for a whole new breed of idea’s. Kind of like a cycle.

  13. To me it means a painting of a place or some where that you would like to go. Where you could put your thoughts and mine to. And feel this peace inside your soul but at the same time it take you to a place deep inside yourself which you are only person allow in there.A wonderful place of everything you ever dream of hopes,love,power,freedom.Something that the real world cant offer you for example your own creation and a moment of happens.

  17. “What does Imaginations Canvas mean to you?”

    It means that anything that pops up in my head or imagine, I can turn into artwork. rather it be a song, a poem, a Drawing, a picture, a word,a person, etc. As long as I can imagine it in my head, i can make it reality.

  18. thanks Kal

  19. It be funny if the shortest and dumbest answer won

  20. Imaginations Canvas can mean a number of different things to each individual. For Picaso, his imaginations canvas happens to be the music he puts out for the world to experience and enjoy. Imaginations Canvas to me is what each individual uses to express their thoughts and imaginations, whether it be music, art, film, etc. The imaginations canvas is different from any other canvas, because your imagination is unlimited and the imaginations canvas is never ending. The imaginations canvas in other words is being unique and doing what YOU want to do.

  21. [...] over. Congrats to every one who won. And for those that didn’t, you can still enter the Imaginations Canvas contest to win some free Polo [...]

  22. it means auto tunes dead

  23. Transcribing something one’s dreamt of through a medium that enables it to become reality.

  24. imagination empowers the people. it weaves individualistic ideas into the cloth of society, and interconnects people from all different neighborhoods, cities and countries. The canvas of the mind allows imagination and dreams to be conceived, and the physical canvas allows the dreamer to share their dreams/perceptions to the world. Without this differentiation of the word ‘canvas,’ imagination would not be able to be conveyed to the people — it would be lost in the mind of the dreamer. Picaso is that dreamer, and through the aural canvas that he paints, he is able to reach out to the various different ethno/social backrounds, with the hopes of sharing his thoughts and dreams with all who have a desire to appreciate the canvases painted by the imagination of others.

  25. btw…solid tape.

  26. “Imaginations Canvas” is the moment when I look at a blank canvas and see the millions of images in my head that can turn the blank into an original masterpiece.

  27. Imaginations Canvas means f*** everyone else and do your own thing. Paint your own canvas, whatever you imagine you can do if you put your mind do it. I feel like Nas right now.

  28. “What does Imaginations Canvas mean to you?

    It means hip-hop. Seen through the eyes of many, thought of day by day from the minds of simple human-beings, captivated in this lyrical world that we call so. Picaso, your are one of the many great artists in hip-hop that make this term live it’s life. Just like Biggie, Pac and Jay-Z, your uniqueness breaths life into the mic. Whether freestyling on a beautiful day in a cipher, or writing lyrics on a pad, your imagination sprays it’s furry in listener’s domes, just like a kid in an empty alley expresses his feelings through a spray paint can on to a brick wall. Every rhyme that is spoken is pure in imagination. Like many legends, they started with their canvas, each injecting their dreams into the body of work that they build up, until becoming a masterpiece. That is “Imaginations Canvas”. Someone can start off with hopes and dreams, offering lyrics with soul to the masses, only to find that they except it, and only to find out that you are the “Greatest”. Like Biggie, Pac and Jay-Z did, follow your dreams, anyone can be a legend.

    And that is my take on “Imagination Canvas”. Hope you like it, tried my best to express what I think it is.

  29. I believe that your canvas is what the possibilities there are you can create in your life, even by your imagination. Your canvas is the outcome of what you want in life, and it represents who you are. I think that we all start with a blank canvas, and as life goes on, we determine what goes on that canvas. Our life can determine if our canvas stays blank, unfinished, or even a masterpiece.We all were put on this earth to do something spectacular in our lives. We were made to give the world a part of a gift (our canvas), so when we leave earth, others would be inspired. The inspiration comes from our self, that no one else can take away, like the individuality we have.

    This is what imagination canvas means to me.

  30. Imaginations Canvas – the painting of your own ideals to fit the “reality” of the world that we’re living in. It’s stretching the realities of this world using your ‘canvas,’ which could be any special talent or skill which you possess. Throughout your existence, you use this ‘canvas’ to paint out whatever ‘reality’ you deem attainable which may only exist in your imagination at the time. Basically, its using your canvas to paint your imaginations into a reality.

  31. Imaginations Canvas – This is a title developed for Picaso’s mixtape with no real thought behind it except for the fact that the words “Picaso” and “Canvas” are related – and who ever came up with the name thought that it would be cool to add the word Imaginations in front of it for some reason. Then, a contest was held to hear what people would think about this random mixtape title. Picaso can find out what the title means to other people and will now have something to say when someone says “What does your mixtape title even mean?” It is a great way to sound creative while really just taking a fan’s interpretation of a random combination of words. Any combination of words could mean something more than it was originally supposed to mean. We should just do this contest with every mixtape! haha (if anyone is offended by my response please get a sense of humor and understand the satire in this) Picaso will look at these responses and say yes, every one of these answers is correct! “it means what ever you want it to mean! :D ” hahaha. This goes for any fine artist, or any artist in general, even me. People dont always know what their work means until they hear others’ responses. Ok im done rambling.

  32. ^^^
    lol.. I’m pretty sure the artist has a reason for for the title being what it is.. The cd is def. themed around the title. It’d be quite dumb on his part if he just put it together and even funnier if he did and this whole contest was to find the meaning of his own shit.. And even funnier if u won you won the contest lmaoo.. Polooooo

  33. Imagination Canvas-The endless spectrum of human possibilities..Imagination is realization.

    i guess.lmao

  34. Imagination Canvas…this term is defined in my mind as, one’s own perspective on the world and how he or she is unique. Me being part of the millennial generation, I noticed that a lot of my generation is trying to separate themselves from the mundane. Everyone has their own thoughts and imagination, and as a new style/trend arises, more minds are being sparked by the new trends being set. The never ending cycle of imagination canvas will always continue as the old trends will be replaced by the next trend created from the imagination of an individual. New innovations are being born every year, whether it’s in technology, health care or fashion. The possibilities are endless, as everyone has the ability to tag on the imagination canvas!

  36. Imaginations Canvas – using your imagination as your canvas for thoughts, ideas, your music, or anything else you do as opposed to just following what everyone around you is doing. making everything you do more creative and unique instead of just fitting a mold.

  37. Conjure and capture

  38. Imagination Canvas. In my perspective, it stands for your aspirations in life. As we’re children, the most important thing in our lives is to simply be complacent; and for the most part, we drew pictures, we wrestled, we sung and so forth. Most of us, as we grow older, we begin to forget what made us smile and kept us happy and begin pushing more towards the conformity of life. Instead of complacency, we aim more towards the best way to earn alot of money. Instead of aspiring to be an astronaut, we bend and study to become a lawyer. Instead of following our crafts and painting masterpieces, we listen to mom and dad and study to become doctors. Now some may aspire to do such, but for the most part, people initially aimed to be something a little more creative. To knock such dreams, adults tell younger people to think realistically and to do something a little more “logical”. Something that’ll pay more. It’s very funny to me that we devalue our lives so much, to value something that is only worth as much as we say it’s worth. A piece of green paper with a proposed number on it. So, I digress, my interpretation of an Imagination Canvas is something so many people in life take for granted. Push to the side to become a “successful” person. When in essence, if you followed your true wishes and aspirations (Imagination Canvas) in life, you’d become a much happier person and truly successful. So let your mind run wild. Let the brush stroke as vividly as you can possibly imagine and don’t let anyone tell you what makes sense and what is logical. Let your our heart do the logic.

  39. The best way that i can put imagination canvas is just the idea that your imagination is infinite. there is no end to the possible creativity in any living, breathing human being, and this is because the mind is a canvas in which one is able to paint whatever they want. the possibilities are endless, hence the phrase “imagination canvas.

  40. Imagination canvas is anything and everything and putting whatever that any or everything is to life.

  41. [...] forget: today’s the last day to enter the Imaginations Canvas [...]

  42. this is the wrong place, to participate.

  43. First thing I think of is colors. Colors of the artists choice, what’s on his/her mind.Not colors that represent negative actions , but colors representing positive sides of life.
    It’s an expression of inner self, expression of outer world. So people from around the world can relate. Artistic freedom. You can make whatever you want to, and if it’s working for you, DOPE. That’s all that matters.

  46. Canvas imagination is yours to explore and experiment every thing done in the world is first thought up in the persons head which is the imagination so nothing would be done with out that canvas of imagination that we were giving to me the world would not exist with out a way to think/imagine of new innovating and interesting things and move forward we we would stay stuck in the same boring place

  47. Imaginations Canvas:

    We are born into this world with a blank canvas. From the moment we first breath air we are starting to paint on this Imaginations Canvas. All of our thoughts, experiences, and dreams make up this canvas that we paint our lives on. Of course those who experience more and let their mind run wild with creativity will have more vivid imagination canvases, but we all have the opportunity to paint a masterpiece. Nothing is done without first imagining it, so think of all the amazing things this world would have if we just let our minds flow freely. The contents of your Imagination Canvas are up to you, so make the most of what you have to achieve greatness or forever live a life of mediocrity.
