I’ve spent a lot of time with my fam and friends recently. Still getting things done and handling biz but I think I’ve finally found that perfect balance. I think “grinding” is overrated. You never hear Fortune 500 CEO’s scream how much they’re grinding. They do what they do then go home. Only in hiphop culture is your work an excuse to abandon friends and family. I’m very guilty of this but like I said I’m finding that balance now.
Spent all of yesterday with my little brother. Went to a carnival where I won that fly guitar that you see pictured above, watched fireworks, ate good, then partied with a few friends at night. Maybe I’m getting old but the whole ‘industry’ life has lost it’s appeal to me. You meet one aspiring rapper or model you’ve met them all. You have a meeting with one dream selling CEO you’ve met them all. I’m more into quality people. Whether they’re worth 1 Billion or 1 Dollar is irrelevant.
I was telling someone the other day that I want to be part of the new industry. By that I mean no matter how successful I become I’ll still wear my basketball shorts and go to the corner store to get an orange juice. Still respect people. Still maintain my morals. Still find value in family life and lasting relationships. They say it’s easier said than done so we shall see.

Phella, I fucking feel ya. !00%
Totally agree!!!
P.S. Thanks for referring to me as “someone” in last paragraph. I went from “really good friend” in one blog, to “good friend” in another, to “friend” in the one about “no cameras in the gym” and now I’m just “someone”
Thanks
I thought you would do something special for our “anniversary” but I guess I was wrong
P.S. Look at how much we’ve grown in the last year! Crazy!
Jay, Awwlready like they would say in Houston
Sterling, Ha! The arrogance to just assume you’re the only one I’ve discussed “the new industry” with. You’re so vain you probably think every blog post is about you
P.S. I did do something special. Hancock came on TV last night and I watched it
That warms my heart
Love you long time like MJ’s soul
P.S. I got the Carole King joke fyi… so witty
im an abuser of that excuse as well brotha. Last weekend was no different for me.
Unfortunately, even if I’m chillin’…my mind is focusing on what type of work I need / should be doing.
A daily constant battle: whether or not to put the laptop in the car or not.
Yea Zillz, I think we all go through it. There are times when you gotta get in your zone at the expense of a personal life but it shouldn’t be 24/7 365. Balance is the key I guess.
