Hustle and Flow...

Theme Song: Common - The People

It's been about a month since I actually dropped a real post on this site and in that time I've been busting my ass trying to ascend to the top of my chosen profession. On the way up, however, I've learned a little something...you can kill yourself for somebody else or you can put that effort into yourself and the things you actually believe will make a difference in this world. Those bonuses (keep 'em coming though, I ain't complaining...) won't give me back that time that I lose with my friends and family and no matter how much I tell myself that it's all for their benefit those extra funds that will be distributed when my time on this Earth is over is of little consolation to those who miss me. In short, I'm done...


This does not mean I'm done doing what it takes to pay the bills. It just means I'm no longer in the game to be the next "New Negro". I spent all weekend miserable because I missed the wedding of one my best friends in order to show how dedicated I was...and it will be the last time.


This blog was never intended to be a money maker, it was sheer therapy from the rat race and I'm re-dedicating myself to that mission. All I ever wanted to do was the following:

1. Break new music that might never be heard because the radio is garbage, no matter where you live.
2. Facilitate discussion about various topics of interest to the African-American community and perhaps enlighten the landed gentry of the opinions of those at the bottom of society's barrel.
3. Give the people who do not get a chance to interact with me on a regular basis a glimpse into the dual-consciousness of a young black man in today's America.
   

It's back to basics both for the blog and for myself. I'm not the slickest looking blog on the web, nor do I intend to be. That would take more effort than I am willing to expend at this time.

In the words of Goodie Mob, this is Cell Therapy...


Who's that peeking in your window?


Let's get it...
