Hip-Hop Mourns

Posted on Jul 09 in Headlineby adminPrint

Damn what can I say, this has been a rough weekend for hip hop and its sub genres. I woke up on Saturday morning after about three hours of sleep to find out that one of my favorite comedians had died. Then I’m on the phone this afternoon with my business partner and he’s asking me why I haven’t put anything up about Bernie Mac and he informs me that Issac Hayes had also died. It’s no doubt that we go through this yearly. At least a couple of times per year we all find ourselves thinking like damn I can’t believe that so and so died. To me it’s just a constant reality that any second could be our last.

I want everybody to know that I go hard at what I do, but sometimes I scare myself when I think about all of the lifetime that I spend working towards something bigger and then I realize that it can be all over as soon as I get the material shit that I’m really chasing. The bottom line is life isn’t about money, cars, and women like most of these rappers make you think it is. Life is about enjoying being alive, it’s about family, it’s about friends, it’s about those things that make you happy that don’t come with a price tag. Lately I’ve had a little bit of money to play with and invest but I must say that walking out of the store with some shit that you always wanted isn’t as sweet as it may seem. For the past decade I’ve wanted a new laptop and I’ve finally got one and to tell you the truth there’s other things that make me much happier that are free.

I’ve been privileged enough to get to work on my latest project, The Plug-N Magazine and I have to admit that the struggle of putting this thing together has made me happier than I’ve ever been. I just like to know that I have a pretty firm grip on reality and I’m still level headed enough to find ways to enjoy the simplest of shit in life. Right now I’m enjoying seeing all the people around me who are trying to get somewhere struggle through this shit. It’s those of us who struggle as such a young age to make sure our lives are set who will reap the benefits in the long run. The best feeling in the world to me comes when I accomplish shit. That easily brings me the most satisfaction so I can’t really blame myself for feeling sick when I sit around and play dick and Playstation all day like the rest of the world. RIP BERNIE MAC & ISSAC HAYES – HIP HOP MOURNS
