Poor mans Johnny Football Lifestyle!
Exactly!
Clark Kent said one time that he had to force Jay to rap and get off the corner. Foxy mentioned this recently again in her Combat Jack interview. These cats are from some of the most fukked up places in the country. This music has probably saved their lives in more ways than one, but it has also given them a power that isn't granted so easily.
What they have isn't something you just walk into. What Em has done, comin' from where he's from with the kinda background he is, is just miraculous type shyt. Dre has had to rebuild his career like 4 times! These dudes didn't just have success fall into their laps, they've worked. So I respect them all for what they've been able to do. I don't see how someone can't. The hate is what happens when people don't believe in themselves. When they don't think they can do the same. But I think we see every year that some other kid thinks differently, and starts to make his way toward that same greatness. Those are the few that get it.
Even if the music isnt great (lets face it, we are all critics and we will all never agree), gotta respect the work a lot of these guys put in. Don't get me wrong.....some of them live very lavishly, gluttonous, etc....but people dont see the hours in the studio, the traveling, having to deal with the press and do interviews, touring, long days shooting vids, etc.
All those people behind the scenes making these things possible....its easy to forget about them.
To think one individuals vision has an impact on the lives and livelihoods of so many
