MESSAGE MONDAYS: Time & Place

There's a time and place for everything. I feel Im a well rounded person because though Im known for being smart and cool laid back, Im also known for being the life of the party and funny. My well roundedness has allowed me to appreciate great music and bs music because I know theres a time and place for both. I think people should realize this and recognize entertainmnet for what it is..this goes for alot of other things also...theres a time & place...short and simple...

MESSAGE MONDAYS: Progress

DONT LET ANYONE STOP YOUR PROGRESS...
Success is a group effort. Sometimes there are chains on the link that will slow progress making you cant go forward. Dont let these chains stop you. Replace them. Or find another link. Success is a group effort but you are responsible for your own unsuccessfulness. So dont let anyone or anything stop progress.

Late MESSAGE MONDAYS: Appreciation..

I apologize for those that was looking for a message yesterday. Ummm I hate to give excuses but my mac completely died yesterday. So im doing this from the desktop....uggghhh...

Anyway, my message today is on appreciation. Give it. Its great to feel appreciated. This past week alone I had two examples that stood out of me feeling appreciated.

1. I was voted Employee of The Month by my co-workers. At a job I wouldnt say I dislike but, Im never exited to go to. These past months, due to my job's close relation to banks and the economy, Ive been forced to bend my schedule and adjust alot. At times, I felt like a replaceable variable in the whole process. Yet, I never complained and worked hard no matter how frustrating it got. To be appreciated for my efforts makes me feel secure in my position and want to be there just because I know Im appreciated.

2. Randomly, on twitter the homie LCD hit me up saying he had a song idea for me. Then within the next day he sent the beat with the hook already layed down. Simple you think? Not really. See, beforehand me & LCD never spoke to each other. Our connection was through Ice The Villain, fellow rapper and LCD's premier artist. When I was sent the track I noticed alot of things. LCD had heard my music and respected my talent. Not only that, he understood my message I try to put forth thru my music. I knew this because the hook, subject matter, and beat all fail in the realms of the direction Im tryna go. To completely understand a person's vision you have to appreciate them. Not only that, after sending the beat he said he knew I would kill it. Meaning he's not worried that I will spit wackness to his beat ( a fear alot of producers have when giving rappers beats.) At that moment I felt appreciated. Without knowing, LCD was showing appreciation.

Thru these two examples you can see how to give and pull out appreciation from acts....appreciation...give it....
