It looks great but...

How many celebrities need to say how horrible the shyt is, how they’re still depressed.

shyt, how many need to attempt/actually kill themselves :gucci:



Yet you still have folks out here doing everything in their power to get famous, not even rich, just famous :gucci:

Because it’s a gateway drug. Think about being the life of the party, everywhere you go. People look at you and receive you warmly, interested in what you’re doing and why you managed to be around them at that moment.

It comes with responsibility though. That’s why high moral components are needed in your character when you’re a celeb. You have to want to know other people because they all want to know you

all of creation
the lack of attention they got growing up....and for men they want status so they can get women.... even though money can get you that by itself. but fame makes it 1000 times easier to get women, unless you have like " fukk you" money. fame also attracts the worst people, who want to use you and take advantage of you. money does that too but with fame its much much worse.

Its funny cause the real playmakers with the real money who cut the REAL CHECKS are usually chillin in some mansion or talkin business in some board room and nobody knows them.....

Famous people are usually employees with no power & they cant cut checks or determine their own destiny... All they can do is leverage their celebrity for deals and jobs

Bottom line... Majority of people will choose ATTENTION over POWER and WEALTH

Honestly, sometimes the job you want ends up making you more famous than you want to be.

Like, if I could direct movies/tv shows and make a couple million a year - but at the same time still be able to walk outside like a normal person, I would.

It's hard to get a very high paying job that you like, while still having great family relationships.

logging in to check your twitter mentions like :lupe: "what are they saying about me today?"

I didn't get that fresh cut yet so folks going in on my hair

picked up a few lbs over the holiday so millions of ppl are saying Im' getting fat

I got a mole on my face today from eating too many sweets, so now folks saying I got that herp

I'm married but somebody happened to snap a photo of me just having a conversation with a woman, and now I'm cheating :lupe:
