LIFE ADVICE: You Can't Quit

There's one thing in life you can't do.  You can't QUIT!  If you have a dream you have to work through the hard times and the good times to get to where you want to be.  No goal worth achieving will ever be easy to accomplish.  So keep going at it.  You can get more into it below!

Don't Seek Fame, Seek Fantastic.

I spend a lot of time making new material.  The problem is in the past I've always been in a rush.  Being in a rush comes from being not where I want to be in pop culture.  And not having those many fans means it's a struggle to get where I want to be.  Everything is full circle.

None is going to tell you this, some people mention it, but the key to success is continuous hard work.  Coupled with hard work you have to continuously evaluate yourself and improve on your weaknesses.  We all have them.  If you are painting, making music, or becoming a doctor; you have to get better.  Getting better means being willing to work 10x's harder than the competition to condition yourself.

Lastly, you have to be a curator.  That means you have to be in charge and manage every little detail.  If you don't care about your product...the people won't.  If they don't care then you will never reach your goals of success.  

Any regular person can make a sub-par product and get it produced.  It takes a very special person to meticulously edit, sweat over, & arrange every detail.  At the end of the day... that person's work does not go unnoticed because if you place their work side by side with the average...it shines more.  

So don't fall for the hype.  work on being the best you that you can be. Then you'll start to see people lining up to see you.  - wordplay.

Taking Nothin' Less: Daily Dose #9

Do you feel like this dude? I know I did yesterday.  Out of nowhere I was freaking out. My co-workers freaked more when my head opened like that! The doctors would call it an anxiety attack but most would refer to it as stress.  That will MURK kill you.  These are a few tips I used to cope with freaking the hell out. 

• eat a bowl of cereal & watch cartoons getting your mind off the bull (toro?) will help you take a minute to breath.  And instead of filling your body with ben & jerry's you can eat something sweet and healthier.  

• Have sex. Hopefully not with yourself but hey gotta do what you gotta do...no kid you shouldn't have sex without your parents permission which is most likely hell naw if you ask! Sorry.
• Listen to music...Bach....Pac...Lox...whatever rhymes and makes you sing or grab yourself with a homemade mic just do it...

Hopefully that helped and if you just feel too overwhelmed see a doctor...you psycho.  Til next time eat lots of cereal and have post marital sex.  DOPE.

My EP The Quarterly Report is BACK! Stress FREE...and...FREE so download it and unwind

Taking Nothin' Less: Daily Dose #7

I have no idea what it is but my days always reflect the same lesson.  I had a conversation with a co-worker and she asked me, "What if you don't make it...is that going to pay your bills...do you have a back up plan?" and I replied, "There is no if, this is the plan."  With that said I sat down and I thought what if we didn't live fearing what we can and cannot accomplish.  I believe that I will be in Cannes, France (the picture above) at the end of January performing.  That makes me very sure that I will get the votes to help me do so.  So point being...don't live in fear.  It'll only hold you back.

Taking Nothin' Less: Daily Dose #2

 

"My complexities are formed by my inequities". Put plainly its okay to be different.  One way to succeed in life is to set yourself apart from the majority.  Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, said "Swim upstream".  Never be afraid to be different.  It makes you unique.  Since we take Nothin' Less that's another way to be great.

The video above is Kendrick Lamar's - Kush & Corinthians. He says, "Be Different, Do Different things. Don't be alike".

Also listen to my song Juxtapose [fake vs. real] from my album Nothin' Less.  It's a better example of how we tend to be all the same.  Do You. Take NOTHIN' LESS.
