I been prorcastinating on this rap thing. I know in 2013 to say one wants to be a rapper is an overdone cliche but I'm really trying to get my foot in the door now. watching garbage emcees like Cheif Keef and Future get so much love bothers my conscious because in my mind I know I can make it if they did because I actually have skills. Yes I'm tooting my own horn. I dont want to get rich, I just want people to say jay58 is dope(yes that is my emcee name) I want my name amongst th likes of the Joe buddens, Royce 5'9's and Killer Mikes. I want the respect as an emcee the money will come regardless. I have yet to overcome this procarstination. But my goal is to end 2013 by atleast having some sort of buzz. I'm gonna gather up that lil $650 and post my video on worldstar within a month or two. When I do, I'll let all of you know. These words are like a testimony. I will make it happen and I would like for all of you to be there to witness it happen

wow i was lowkey shocked this thread dint get a reply,but mine was becoming a man without a father figure along the way. it was even harder cus my older brothers wasnt around ether. it was more mental and emotional than anything because i dint know how to handle approach anything like a man should

yea man i been makin threads liek this since i signed up

i guess they didnt know who i was at first

Poverty and the hood

Its incredible how many people I ran with are in the penitentiary now.

What helped me escape was having a plan after highschool; College. It changed the way I viewed the world for the better. It didnt all go the way I intended but throughout my time there I found the world was so much bigger than what nikkas on the block where going. I go to my hometown to see family but its far from home. So many people there still doing the same shyt they were doing in 10 years ago.

damn good shyt my nikka
do what you gotta do...real nikkas gone let they mans get hisself together

Seeking help for depression and healing my abandonment issues that stem from my fathers absence.

damn babygirl thats messed up
you had any luck? are you outwardly seekin or searching inside yourself?

Gettin over my addiction to fast money

mannnnn im tellin you my nikka its crazy out
my bro just got shot 3 times tryna put a play down

all money aint good money

I have done both, but my therapist has really helped me heal and accept that sometimes shyt happens and life doesnt turn out the way one plans :manny:. And as much as I deserved for my father to be there, he wasn't able to for reasons that have nothing to do with me. It has taken years to get to this point.

Healing and forgiveness is extremely important to me.

How old is she? Yea, Humility is something that many don't have, but it's necessary in life so you can pick up the pieces and move on.

Aww... yea, give her some time. Her brain isn't even done developing yet.
Mind you, she's 17- so shes dramatic,hormonal, and growing up. Thats a lot to deal with for a teenager. I was the same way unfortunately.

If she is indeed spoiled, LIFE has a way of breaking those types down to develop humility.

Believe me, as she ages... she will see the light.

When I was 17 I took my 5 year old niece to the tennis court in my neighborhood to play tennis. She accidentally closed the gate to the tennis court and locked us inside. I didn't have a key and nobody passed by so I had to put her on my back and climb over a 20 foot fence to get out. I would have to say that was a pretty big obstacle I overcame.
