Look at Dre Dennis, look at Charlie Clips, look at Verb, that should motivate Big T.
All these guys genuinely seem reinvigorated. Verb not as much as the other two, but he looks a lot healthier, and the response to his latest songs has to have boosted his self esteem a little closer to where it was in 2010.
Salute to Dre Dennis. I don't have to like his style, but I've gained a great deal of respect for that man. I've seen a lot of people fold in the face of adversity like that. He was a laughingstock and all he did was put his ego to the side and work harder. He's taken 25 battles since the "Wild N' Out" debacle. He even made it back to URL. They dropped him less than a year ago, but he's back already.
I know a grip of cool, talented folks that don't have close to the amount of drive, so no one will ever know their names.
