faker...

i admit, we all have flaws. i have my flaws, that is when i'm not being 100% perfect. yet, what is driving me crazy. something that really makes my skin crawl, blood boil, nuts itch....

fake friends.

the worst part about it is, you can't really tell when they are being fake. i mean that is if they are really good at what they do. and most times, it's the one's you least expect that really just crush you idea of "friends".
maybe since i hold my true friends close and don't let ppl in so easily that when i do find a fake friend amongst the real one's it truly hurts my heart. so how do you spot a faker?

simple, need their ass for some shit. it could be big or small. a faker finds it difficult to be there for you when you need them. whether it's "saying the right thing", "giving you gas money", "or being your wing man to an not-that-ugly-but-definitely-not-as-hot-as-her-friend" chick. a fake friend will always flake out on you. but that's where it gets tricky. because there is a "fake friend" who plays the game a little harder then the rest. he/she may be in it for the emotional support you give them, monetary gain, to steal your chick, etc..

these fakers you gotta wait them out. they might be there for you 25% of the time, before they make their flake move and just leave you high and dry. what do you do when you've found a flaker out?

kick their fucking ass. i'm starting a FYF club. (fuck you faker). i'm gonna just start kicking folks asses. like coming out the alley and punching ninjas in the side of the face. so beware. you fake w/ me...it's on.

to join my club, all you have to do is produce evidence of fakeness. and will gladly help you rid your faker problem. participation is a must. and you have to at least attack 1 faker a year to remain in the club. fist, eggs, toilet paper house, shit in a bag at door, prank..etc.

seats are filling up fast. join now!

who the hell asked you?

remember before the internet (who remembers that shit, really?)...before people started becoming blog celebrities? opinions we're valued as important. these days like assholes, everyone has them, and most of them are shitty.

i admit i am very opinionated about a lot of things, but i however am not under the illusion that anyone gives two flying fucks. i frequent blogs, and pretty much prefer real life observation vs. who someone i don't know is dating. i like opinions with some sort of humor & substance. i am a self proclaimed nobody, because in the spotlight of the industry i am known strictly behind the scenes. meaning i'm that dude who'll walk right up to someone famous hug them then go back to my seat...and you hear someone whispering trying to figure out who the hell i am. so i find myself in situations all the time where ppl do not realize who i am, or what i do. can't tell you how many conversations i've had with someone and they started hating on one of my songs. again, i respect constructive criticism. what i don't respect is people who think they have Phd's in music. it's like ok, i understand you don't like it. i understand why you say you don't like it. i hear what your problem is...but now that you've said it what is that suppose to mean to me? and what tears me up is that when i come back at them from my perspective they always get mad and tell me "the consumer has a right to their opinion". that's when i look at them and be like, "bitch you didn't buy that shit you downloaded it, you are NOT a consumer".

so recently, this dude..i won't say no names. he acts like he doesn't read my blog, but i know he does. he also acts like he don't know who i work for, which i know he knows. me and him are cool, don't get me wrong. but i gotta call out a nigga. and yes i said nigga. i be trying to use "ninja" but today i gotta say it...this nigga not only reviews one of my songs. he post a link to DL it.

start rant---> one of my pet peeves is music dl, by the way. i just feel like it takes away from all the work that's put into the music. especially if it's not a hit. if it was meant to be a album song, and it was leaked beforehand, below quality, with scratch vocals, or instrumentals the song is dead. you kill the chance of it making the album, being bought on itunes, or being relative when it's time to be released. how many of you have gotten an album with a song you heard over 5months ago..because it was leaked on the internet? i'm not knocking the hustle of "beating the system", i'm just saying fair is fair. even if you dl it, if you like the artist support them and the ppl who make it happen. me, i get paid on the front end so you aren't fucking with my paper...but you are fucking with my work & the ppl who put their heart and time into this shit. <--end rant i'm not upset he doesn't like the song. i just get upset when people talk about shit and people like they know them. not only that, but bias other's opinions as if they are experts themselves. i'm a fan of not shitting where lay. why don't you tweet a DL link to some of your shit, for ppl to comment? just real talk.

let's keep the opinions to a minimal buddy before i start posting links to you're unreleased demos.

no posing zone

you ever encounter someone who just poses the fuck outta everything? it's like you never have a "normal" minute with them being themselves?

there's nothing wrong with "being self confident" but there is a line between confidence and arrogance. me, i'm not a fan of arrogance. but what ups the ante even more is when someone is arrogant and has NOTHING to be arrogant about.

i'm sure you know somebody like that because they are running around rampant like the swine flu. they sneak up on you (because you think they are normal ppl...), get into your system (with all their hateration), and make you sick to the point you fear death.

i unfortnately encounter clowns like this on an everyday basis. most times they start off trying to be my "friend". first comes "impress you" mode. this is where they try to tell you all the things yall have in common. the way i feel is, if you have to tell me then we really don't have that shit in common. somewhere they get lost in the sauce and start exaggerating on their knowledge. the worst part, i don't even ask them in the first place. it's like, ok. you say you do this. i'm gonna let you have that, bro. why you gotta make things worse and expound on this bullshit you're saying?

after "impress you" mode is over. it's "use you mode". this is where they try to get any & everything they possibly can out of you. this is probably the main reason i'm reluctant to reach out and trust people. as a young man, i was a bit spoiled. my parents didn't go overboard but i had a lot of things other's didn't have. so i was the victim of "friends being friends for what you have, instead of generally liking you for who you are" A LOT. so i'm quick to spot users, i'm also very quick to group you as a user unless i can explain to myself the reasons you're coming at me. so when these "posers" switch to "user mode" that's when it becomes personal to me. at this point, you've stepped over the line of..."you could have posed all you wanted over there, but now you done came over here w/that shit, really?". i'm usually a very generous guy. and if you're my friend there isn't much i won't do for you. but i lose all patience & respect for people who try to get shit out of me, by using me. always want you to "hook me up", "slide me a song", or "give me money ".

after the "use you mode" stage they get to the "i.d.n.y." stage. that is the "i don't need you" stage. where their ego gets the best of them. before this point, if i'm still fooling with them..i'm nice about it. but this is absolutely the last stage for me. once you're "too big" for me because you've gotten an attitude i won't help you. that's when you need to be "too done talking to me" cause to hear someone who failed to "impress you" & "use you" and then tell you "i.d.n.y." it's like y-tf, am i still dealing with you? take your ass on off to your pretend multimillion dollar lifestyle, with your pretend friends, & your pretend talent. go head wipe your ass on Mcdonald's napkins, but tell me you drinking Ace in the clubs. go head and be without lights/cable/a phone for 2 months, but telling me you about to cop you a new ride. go head banging out songs on your fisher price keyboard to the same fucking melody and telling me you in the studio everynight. nigga i'm in the studio everyday...where the fuck you at?

stop posing. just love yourself. be yourself. stop trying to have a life that you aren't working to get. stop posing & just do it bro.
