I feel like if you are a rapper and you have a ghostwriter then you need to change professions! I don't think I could even ghostwrite for someone.....like I'm listening to the radio and I see nigga's feeling my shit and they don't even know its my shit? I understand that some people don't want the shine....but I'll be damned if someone who didn't work for it gets it. So apparently Jadakiss is a ghostwriter, as well as Jay-Z, T.I. and Gillie Da Kidd is a writer for Lil' Wayne. Do you see all this recent shine this nigga Wayne is gettin? No wonder Gillie pops shit about this nigga on his mixtapes...HE IS HIM....HIM IS HE...WTF? Nas, Skillz, Pharoahe Monch, and the D.O.C are all ghostwriters....for people like Will Smith, Dr.Dre, Diddy, Foxy Brown and even BIG were mentioned. BIG is some people's favorite rapper and you mean to tell me he didn't even write some of his shit? Just goes to show why Tupac was always better in my opinion! The ghostwriters say they don't feel "undervalued," but I mean WHATEVER.....if they're fine with collecting whatever money they get paid for their services but no credit then I'll leave it alone. But I'll never look at some of these so called "Rappers" who use ghostwriters the same way EVER again. Ohhhhhh the Fakerrryyyyyy!

How did we get here?
"How did we get here?"
I realized that I was asking myself that question a lot towards the end of 2008 in reference to former friends or associates. In 2009 I'm going to turn over a new leaf in regards to how I handle friendships. Normally if someone does something wrong I think to myself "does this person have characteristics that would make me want to keep them in my life in spite of whatever situation has just occurred....or can they be let go?" I don't know any murderers (as far as I know....I wouldn't put it past some of these nigga's though!)....so I think I'm gonna start giving people more chances. I know that if I messed up I would want another chance to right my wrongs. One of my best friends gave me a second chance and if he hadn't I don't know what my life would be like now, SERIOUSLY! I know what its like to have a friend taken from you, so I don't think I'll be letting any more go unless its really not up to me. We meet people for a reason and I think we should take the time to figure out exactly what that reason is.

Thank You
"Be polite!"
Any good parent raises their child to be polite, so when we're young we're told to say Thank You in appropriate situations. You get a gift from your Grandma...."Tell your Grandmother thank you!" Things like that....it just seems commonplace. But does the phrase "Thank You" hold the weight that it really should? I feel like people just say it now because its automatic like you don't really even think about it anymore. I know I do....like if someone holds the door for me, tells me "God Bless You," or other normal things like that. But when someone does something really great for you are you truly thankful or is it just another automatic response? If you say it five times, "thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou," it doesn't mean more if you had said it ONCE! It only means something if you really mean it, like you thought about the act that was just done for/to you or the thing that was just given/taken from you and it completely changed your state. You are happier than you were before, your worries have gone down, things like that, or is it just another event in your day? The next time someone does something good for you.....I would suggest that you say Thank You and mean it, because its hard to hide it when you DON'T!

Don't DO IT...
Ladies,
Bustin out the windows of someone's car......ILLEGAL! If he really wanted it then he would have put a ring on it.....no need to remind him! Please do not let Beyonce' and Jazmine Sullivan have you fooled! You can not do the same irresponsible shit that they sing about. Beyonce' has a ring on her shit, bitch SHUT UP. And if Jazmine busted out somebody's window her PR people would have a fucking fit. Don't get it twisted Single Ladies is my jam but by no means is it my anthem! Therefore I'm not about to hit up some old boo's talkin' bout "if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it!" You're just setting yourself up to get either played or cussed out, you're gonna look silly as shit regardless! And no nigga is about to make me upset to the point where if I act out my rage I end up in handcuffs.....some HOW! They say things like what's in their songs because it's entertaining so please whenever you feel like acting out one of these songs remember....Don't DO IT! If you weren't on TV before then lets not have COPS be your only avenue for getting on their NOW. PREEEEEAAAAAACH!
What the hell is inside of me?! Pt.1
I have decided to do a series on a specific topic b/c I feel there are many different points that could fall under this category. If you are a female have you ever wondered what the hell was inside of you that makes you sooooooo different from a man? Clearly I'm not talking about the physical aspects but the shit on the inside, the emotional stuff! What is it......DNA....sweet baby Jesus? Who knows! But I'm going to point out some of the things that we do or handle differently.
Why is it that when a female starts talking to a new guy (friend or more) she shows her girls pictures of him? Its like a given, like she has to and trust we have all done it at least ONCE! Whether its through your phone, through facebook, through an email....HELL....I don't know if you send a Sketch by carrier pigeon, but your girls will see what this *New NEW* nigga looks like. Do you do it b/c you want to hear what the other girls think? Like if they say "Oooh girl...he is fine!" then you are immediately satisfied b/c you're like "haha BITCH...he is fine and I GOT HIM!" Or is it like when you get a new outfit, you just want people to see you with it b/c it looks good on you? Or is it like a new toy....you just wanna show people so you can be like "Just cause ya'll nigga's ain't gettin new shit, doesn't mean I'M NOT!" Who KNOWS why we do it....but we do! But please remember you can't show everybody because some of your friends want a *New New* nigga too and they will take him anyway they can....even if that means snatching him right from under you....TRIFE LIFE! Back to my point....I wonder if guys do this too? I doubt they do.....I highly doubt it actually. I don't believe that when I guy meets a new chick he shows photos of her, maybe he talks about her....but providing actual documentation of her existence....naaaah I doubt it. I have more guy friends than a little bit and none of my nigga's have ever showed me pictures of some chick they were talking to, they might have talked about her but never has a photo been shown. I guess we'll never know what the hell is inside of us that's NOT inside of them! And this is only the tip of the iceberg my friends.....there are soooooo many more differences to come!
Mr.Not Quite
Have you ever met a guy who almost has it all but he's NOT QUITE all the way there?! I met one and he kind of turns my smile upside down! LOL....when I first met him he asked me for my number and I gave it to him b/c that's just what I do....if I can't find a good reason not to give it or take a number down then I'll give it, sad...I KNOW! But he also talked to a friend of mine at the party and not only got her number but he hit her up the next day as well....I mean we came to the party together, you couldn't have picked a strangers number to get? So that immediately told me that he was just racking up numbers that night for Gawwd knows what reason and that I needed not to take him seriously. So he would hit me up and ask when we were gonna hang out and I would be like you know whenever is cool, you seem like you'll be a great new friend....note I specifically said FRIEND!!!!! So whenever I saw him it was always in like a group setting and what not so that no one gets any ideas, but the sad part about it all is that he is actually a really great guy. He's very intelligent, good sense of style, very honest, and nice when he wants to be.....but this goes to show that sometimes how you start the race will determine how you end it. I mean I could be the only one missing out in this situation but that's a chance I'm willing to take because I don't have time for the games. He was sooooooooo close....but Not Quite!
