Almost Famous
It all starts with a dream, a vision of you entertaining, crowd pleasing, signing autographs and taking pics, photo shooting and video making. Dare you dream of Headlining your own show, accepting that Grammy and thanking who? Your Family, your friends, your God and – YOUR FANS That’s who is requesting that heavy rotation, purchasing tickets to your shows, copping that CD adding to your fortune. Oh and your friends? That’s your PR, in case it hasn’t dawned on you. But what about them? Are they what makes you tick? You gave yourself the get up and go but who kept you going once you went? All of the above so don’t fake on them. Not too long ago it was you, you and them, same level, hungry, ready, willing and able .Wanting a better life, stardom and all its perks. Glitz, Glamour, paparazzi, the whole nine. Shit the whole ten if your mind is as beautiful as mine.
How do you handle it once you get there? Of course you thank God and your family, but what about your friends? At what point in your rise to stardom do you say to yourself “fuck that nigga” when does the moment come when remembrance of your struggle goes out he door? Please take a step back and pay the fuck attention, realize that all that you have gained can become all that you have lost, in the blink of an eye that shit can crumble and you too have passed.

Humble yourself young, don’t let go of that feeling you had when you realized you could do it, if only you tried. If you have to bottle that shit and shelve it then please do so. Because you may need to douse yourself - when you venture out in your home town. Or any place for that matter.
My boy BlogXilla, brought 50 cent to my attention, I don’t much about the dude, besides what I have heard. I’m not one for rumors but if more than most folks are saying the same shit then damn, it makes you wonder, how much truth is in this shit? Well after running into that Pocket Dude last night I gotta re - asses my beliefs. Shit happens.

And when shit comes to you, who you gon call? That you can really reveal your troubles to, lay them damn cards out and vent, a friend. True friend - not some industry youngin that you think you bonded with on the come up, cause you and I both know that it’s very rare that you meet a true friend after you reach the age of 16 or 17, you are not acquiring a rollie during your mid life crisis.
So, you kept your dogs in tow?

Seeing a lot of you superstars both sickens and intrigues the fuck outta me, I can’t help but feel like damn they made it, that is a beautiful thang, but damn why are they going like that though? That’s your dog, well was at least as far back as I can remember. There was no bad blood shed amongst yall, no beef went unsolved. You kept this dude/girl around during your rise but what happened?
Back to 50, you see this pic and your first instinct is damn, what’s going on with Yayo? But I gotta cut in and let you know, it’s a two way street, Yayo got however much money when he got out, and spent that shit how he pleased, who knows if 50 stepped in and said, hey invest your money or let me hook you up with my financial adviser. So you can’t place the blame completely on 50, Yayo had the main ingredient but fucked up the spices. So he comes across as bland, like a unseasoned chicken, low fat, no carbohydrate ass dude.

He is decked out in overpriced jewelry and clothes but in all reality, it’s his choice, he may have the mindset like most folks do, that if the tag says such and such I’m balling, right from my rented place still in the hood.

Yayo could have built his shit in a different way, started an empire of his own, and who are we to say it’s not in the works? Fans, that’s all we are, on the outside looking in. Giving opinions—that’s nature. Opinion comes natural, and we give ours naturally. Some are worth more than others but in the end they are all heard, but are they considered?
