THE ACCOUNTABILITY SNOWBALL

THE ACCOUNTABILITY SNOWBALL

I was thinking real quick on why people have such a difficult time with accountability. Specifically, people within my community/social sphere. I believe it stems from most people starting off in circumstances beyond their control. First, actually being born is a whole outside event in itself. You didn’t ask to be here, you had no idea you was coming (God Did lol) but you just showed up and until adolescence (young adulthood) your life is in someone else’s hands.

During this time. a period we’ll refer to as “Deferred Responsibility”; you’re being guided by someone’s morals, life experience, and financial stability, all which effects your overall childhood and has a huge impact on who you are to become.

Back in church we were taught about the age of accountability, while a verse may not explicitly states how old you are when you are considered “accountable”, we were generally taught at 12 years old you have reached the age of accountability. Which means you should know right from wrong and you have enough foundation to make solid decisions and if you make an unwise decision you should be able to own up to your decisions and face the music.

If we know there’s a certain threshold where accountability is “activated”, then why do many adults have difficulty being accountable? Its because trauma + a no responsibility period + a dramatic responsibility increase = adults who have difficulty being accountable. Its hard to own up to things when everything was so out of your control and now life is forcing you to be in control.

Some people are faced with raising children, building careers, overcoming heartache, health conditions, its always something to face. However, it gets to a certain point in life where you have to ask “When am I going to take responsibility for my life”, “when will I admit whatever is going on at this point is my fault”.

Me for example, I have so much I can hold onto and be a loser about. Nobody ever got me driver’s training, I grew up financially unstable, I never been to disneyworld as a kid lol. I got plenty stuff I can hold onto, be sad about, and allow it to stagnate me in life.

But screw that one day I sat down and said “Bro whatever I have in my life its my fault, and if I don’t have it now I’m going to work to get it!”. From that moment I went on a winning streak lmao. Still took L’s but man I refused to live handcuffed by childhood trauma because if you never get over it, it snowballs into adulthood and you’re chained to the past.Take control now if you haven’t and make that determination today, “Life is in my hands and I’m going to achieve with everything I desire!”! How can you move forward if you’re always looking behind? Think about it beloved..

DON'T GET GREEDY AND WAX FOR NO REASON

DON'T GET GREEDY AND WAX FOR NO REASON

August 21, 2023


I.EVERYDAY I’M HUSTLING

In these survival days, hustling is all that really matters, and people hustles varies from person to person. No matter what hustle it is, don’t get greedy and start being super tax man, this is mostly in reference when dealing with celebrities.

Meek schools sneaker reseller

You may have saw the video where Meek Mill is attempting to purchase the Nike SB x Air Jordan IVs (man those are some beauties) and the guy on the video wants to charge Meek the tax price. Meek urges that he can get the sneakers at retail from the store, so why would he pay him the tax price plus if he would’ve showed love, Meek would’ve been incentivized to shop even more with the young bull.

Prices via GOAT

First, Meek is capping, you can’t get those sneakers at retail, maybe a lower price than what buddy was selling them for but they will be above retail, too much hype around them. These days everything work off hype. If you don’t get them at release you ain’t getting them without paying the resale ticket, unless the shoe sat on the shelf, you might get an under retail price.

Secondly, his point still stands and he’s absolutely correct in theory. Taking off shoe guy and putting it on general hustlers for a minute. When you are selling a product and its fire and consistent, eventually you will catch the eye of a celebrity, maybe multiple.

II.SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS SON!

I can attest to this personally multiple times, I’ll just use one example for now. Some years ago I drew a pic of YG and Kamaiyah. YG dm’d me about purchasing it you know of course I was excited. This was in early corner days too, so I first started getting celebrity attention/recognition. Before I could respond you know I told some of my people.

You know what they said instantly after I told them the news. “You need to charge him a band”, “Oh yeah he gotta at least drop 4Hunnid on the pic”, and other nonsense.

No disrespect to the people that told me this but this is why people can’t scale up because they wanna do stupid stuff like that and tax for no reason.

III.CAN’T TEACH NO ONE HOW TO HUSTLE..

Just because someone’s a celebrity do not mean you charge unwarranted high prices, it instantly throws smut on your name and can close doors that you ain’t even noticed that was opened. Let me explain why I didn’t tax YG in the first place.

1) the picture was only 8” x 10”, 2) that is a small picture , and 3) it was a sketch without much detail. It was colored and great in my style but my pricing is always on what I would pay for it. Also, the bigger the size the more it is reasonable to charge high prices.

I wouldn’t pay over a few hundred for a small picture unless it was by an artist whose work was unattainable, if it was to personally support an artist I know, or if it is extremely detailed but the canvas chosen is just small.

This particular picture did not fit my laid in criteria, if any normal person wanted that same picture I wouldn’t have charged them more than $50 at that time. Now he never followed through on the purchase but imagined if I would’ve came at him saying give me a rack for this. If he’s smart with his money, he would’ve instantly been off put and possibly stopped any other doors that could’ve been opened.

When it comes to celebrities you have to think more than the money, they carry an audience. Why do you think they get so many free items in the first place? They are walking billboards plus they can actually employ if you’re actually dope enough.

That YG interaction I had could’ve went a thousand ways, now it didn’t go anywhere but I definitely wouldn’t had helped if I came out the gate thinking “get as much money as I can out of him.” That’s short sighted, fast-money, flip everything thinking. You may get a payday but you lose out on the long term. I couldn’t play myself like that in life I think in long term for everything!! Its how I maintained the patience and faith to become a lawyer and run this website because there are extreme peaks and valleys!

So if you got a hustle going on learn from that vid with Meek and this article. Think about the bigger opportunity, think about what is attached to a person with clout, how doors can be opened if you treat this rare interaction the way its supposed to go. Don’t lose out your blessings beloved, Get money..

BREAK UP THE BOYS CLUB OR INVITE NEW MEMBERS

BREAK UP THE BOYS CLUB OR INVITE NEW MEMBERS

August 10, 2023

I.KHALED’S NEW SINGLE

Stream this I guess beloved

Khaled just announced a new single for his yet to be titled LP, titled “Supposed to Be Loved”. I like DJ Khaled and respect his legacy as a DJ and an artist. Each release is actually something I looked forward to. When the single was announced I looked at the lineup and lord behold it was the usual suspects; Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert. My honest initial reaction was just a big sigh.

This Khaled single was the straw that broke the camel back, I’m tired of seeing the same people work together man. I understand people are playing the game at a higher level at this point and Khaled releases are basically music blockbusters but can the art take a little more priority? I feel like Khaled can get more interesting albums if he tap into his actual skill of A&Ring and put together unexpected combinations that would sound fire.

Besides the commercial aspect, I understand he may be sticking with the same people because the relationships developed over the years makes getting verses/hooks extremely easier. Everybody know how its like pulling teeth getting verses back sometimes.

As I stated Khaled was the straw that broke the back but this annoyance really started with my guy Metro.

II.METRO’S SELECTED FEW

Me telling Metro he was my fav producer in 2014.

Now I love Metro, I told him he was the best producer in the game back in 2014! Real deal supporter. I also think his new album is incredible but the only downside was it was the same people on every song. I think Metro talent and star power is strong enough to collaborate with anyone in the world, I mean anyone! Now I understand each of his album were following specific themes and everyone was probably hand picked to fill a certain role but I done heard Metro with these people a billion times!

Fire album but its the usual suspects.

I like when he collabed with James Blake and even the Coi Leray linkup on the Spiderverse soundtrack. I want Metro to get deep into his producer bag and introduce us to some new voices or get with some active people we never seen him work with. But the Travis Scott, 21 vibes I think we done had enough for a min. I’m not including Future because him and Metro is an unbeatable combo and we are actually overdue for a new project from them + the superhero song was wayy too good, we need more of that ASAP!

All in all its like there is a boys club of 21, travis, future, thug, migos, drizzy, uzi,swae,nav,don, and weeknd. I want to see and hear some great suprises. I wanna see random stuff like DVSN and metro or like Monica on a Khaled song, or Wu tang on some Metro beats. You know just something unexpected. If Metro can get Morgan Freeman he can definitely expand his reach and if Khaled can consistently get HOV verses it ain’t no problem for him to get people either. Its time to dial back the priority of blockbuster music and increase the priority of great/groundbreaking collaborations!

DRAGONBALL: THE MULTIVERSAL WAR, CO-WRITTEN WITH A.I. TECHNOLOGY !

DRAGONBALL: THE MULTIVERSAL WAR, CO-WRITTEN WITH A.I. TECHNOLOGY !

I. ACT I - VEGETA FAMILY IN NEW YORK! 

Vegeta, Bulma, and Trunks were enjoying a leisurely shopping trip in New York City when suddenly, they sensed a powerful energy signature approaching. Before they knew it, Cooler, the brother of Frieza, appeared before them, demanding that Vegeta join him in his quest to conquer the universe.

Vegeta, being the proud warrior he is, refused Cooler's offer and prepared to fight. The shopping district quickly cleared out as bystanders ran for their lives. Vegeta powered up and launched a fierce attack at Cooler, but the villain was too powerful and easily blocked the attack.

As the battle raged on, Bulma and Trunks were caught in the crossfire. Bulma was frantically trying to shield Trunks from the attacks, but they were both in danger. Suddenly, Bulma had an idea. She grabbed Trunks and ran into a nearby store, hoping to find a place to hide.

But Cooler was not easily deterred. He followed them into the store, causing chaos as he smashed through the aisles, looking for Vegeta. Trunks was scared and crying, while Bulma was desperately trying to calm him down.

Just as things seemed hopeless, Vegeta appeared in the store, ready to continue the fight. Cooler was surprised by Vegeta's sudden appearance, but he was not deterred. The two warriors continued to battle, causing even more destruction in the store.

But just when Cooler had Vegeta on the ropes, Trunks stepped in. With tears in his eyes, he screamed at Cooler to leave his family alone. Cooler was taken aback by the young boy's bravery and paused for a moment.

In that moment of hesitation, Vegeta took the opportunity to launch a final attack, defeating Cooler once and for all. The shopping district was in shambles, but Vegeta, Bulma, and Trunks emerged victorious.

As they made their way back to their spaceship, Bulma couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Vegeta, however, was still in battle mode, muttering to himself about how he would never let anyone threaten his family again.

II. NEW YORK CITY AGAIN?! SON GOKU AND FAMILY ! 

Goku, Chi-Chi, and Gohan were enjoying a peaceful day in New York City when suddenly, they sensed a familiar energy signature approaching. Before they knew it, Frieza appeared before them, demanding that Goku join him in his quest to conquer the universe.

Goku, always up for a challenge, stepped forward to accept Frieza's challenge, but Chi-Chi and Gohan were caught in the middle. They begged Goku to reconsider, reminding him of his promise to always protect his family.

Just then, Frieza launched a powerful attack at Goku, but he quickly deflected it, sending Frieza crashing into a nearby building. Goku then turned to Chi-Chi and Gohan and instructed them to find a safe place to hide.

As Frieza and Goku continued their epic battle, Chi-Chi and Gohan took shelter in a nearby store, hoping to find a place to wait out the fight. However, Frieza was not deterred and followed them into the store, demanding that they reveal Goku's whereabouts.

Chi-Chi, never one to back down, bravely stepped forward and told Frieza that she would never reveal Goku's location. Frieza was amused by her courage, but before he could react, Gohan stepped forward and launched a powerful attack, surprising everyone in the store.

Frieza, shocked by the boy's power, paused for a moment, allowing Chi-Chi and Gohan to make their escape. They ran outside, where they found Goku and Frieza continuing their battle in the streets. Goku was putting up a good fight, but Frieza was still too powerful.

Gohan, feeling powerless to help his father, suddenly had an idea. He remembered the training he had received from Piccolo and decided to use it to help his father. He closed his eyes and focused all his energy, transforming into a Super Saiyan.

With his newfound power, Gohan launched a fierce attack at Frieza, distracting him long enough for Goku to launch a final Kamehameha wave, defeating Frieza once and for all. The battle was over, and the city was in shambles, but Goku, Chi-Chi, and Gohan emerged victorious.

As they made their way back home, Goku couldn't help but feel grateful for his family's love and support. He knew that he would never be able to defeat Frieza without their help and promised to always protect them, no matter what.

ACT III. ENTER KANG?! THE MULTIVERSE CRACKS!

Vegeta and Goku were on their way to Beerus' planet when Vegeta brought up the scenario about Frieza attacking them in New York City. Goku listened carefully as Vegeta described the events that unfolded, nodding his head in understanding as he absorbed the details.

"I can't believe Frieza would attack innocent people like that," Goku said, his voice filled with anger.

Vegeta snorted. "What do you expect from that lowlife? He only cares about power and domination."

Goku nodded in agreement. "We'll have to be careful when we encounter him again. We need to protect our families and the people of Earth."

As they landed on Beerus' planet, they were greeted by the God of Destruction himself. Beerus explained that there was a disturbance in the multiverse, and he needed their help to investigate.

Vegeta and Goku were intrigued and eagerly agreed to help. Beerus opened a portal, and they stepped through, finding themselves in a strange, new world.

Suddenly, they were confronted by Kang the Conqueror, a powerful villain who had been causing chaos throughout the multiverse. Vegeta and Goku readied themselves for battle, but Kang was too powerful for them to defeat alone.

As they fought, Kang revealed that he had captured their families and held them hostage in another dimension. Vegeta and Goku were filled with rage and vowed to save their loved ones.

Working together, Vegeta and Goku used their combined powers to create a portal to the other dimension. They raced through the portal, only to find themselves in a strange, otherworldly realm.

There, they found Kang's lair, and with all their might, they fought against his army of minions. Finally, they reached Kang himself, and the three of them engaged in a fierce battle.

Vegeta and Goku were relentless, using all their powers and techniques to take down Kang. But the villain was cunning and managed to trap them in a time loop, making it impossible for them to defeat him.

However, Goku had an idea. He remembered something Whis had once told him about time travel, and he decided to use that knowledge to break free from the time loop.

With Vegeta's help, Goku launched a powerful attack that shattered the time loop and allowed them to defeat Kang once and for all. They rescued their families and returned to their own dimension, victorious and exhausted.

As they stood together, catching their breath, Vegeta and Goku knew that they had just been a part of something much larger than themselves. They had saved the multiverse from destruction and proved that even the most powerful villains could be defeated when they worked together.

ACT IV.  GOKU AND VEGETA , MEET THE NEWEST AVENGERS!!

As Goku and Vegeta returned to their own dimension, they realized that they had just faced a variant of Kang the Conqueror. But they were still shaken from the experience and needed some time to recover.

Suddenly, they saw a bright light in the sky and heard a loud noise. They looked up to see Iron Man flying towards them. Goku and Vegeta were impressed by his suit and his technology, and Iron Man introduced himself.

"Hey there, I'm Tony Stark, but you can call me Iron Man. I've been keeping an eye on you guys, and I think we could use your help."

Goku and Vegeta were intrigued and listened as Iron Man explained the concept of the Avengers. He told them that the world needed heroes like them, and that they could make a difference.

After some consideration, Goku and Vegeta agreed to join the Avengers. They were impressed by Iron Man's determination and the sense of purpose that the Avengers provided.

As they began their new journey, Goku and Vegeta quickly became valuable members of the team. Their powers and fighting skills proved to be invaluable in battles against dangerous villains.

But it wasn't long before they faced another challenge. Kang the Conqueror had returned, and this time he was even more powerful than before. Goku and Vegeta were prepared to fight, but they soon realized that they needed Gohan's help to win this battle.

Gohan had been studying and training for years, and he was now a powerful warrior in his own right. Goku and Vegeta went to Gohan and explained the situation. Gohan was hesitant at first, but when he realized that the fate of the multiverse was at stake, he agreed to help.

Together, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan launched a fierce attack against Kang. They used all their powers and techniques to take him down, but Kang was a formidable opponent.

Finally, Gohan remembered a technique that he had learned from his father, Goku. It was a powerful energy blast that could destroy anything in its path.

Gohan charged up his attack and launched it at Kang. The blast hit Kang with incredible force, and he was defeated once and for all.

As the dust settled, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan were hailed as heroes. They had saved the multiverse from destruction and proved that they were worthy members of the Avengers. From that day forward, they fought side by side with their new allies, always ready to defend the world from whatever dangers lay ahead.

ACT V.  GOHAN’S DEEP REVELATION !

As the battle with Kang came to an end, Gohan suddenly felt a pull in his consciousness. He looked around, but nobody else seemed to have noticed. Suddenly, a portal opened up in front of him, and he was pulled into it.

He found himself in a strange place, surrounded by cosmic energy. Suddenly, a figure materialized in front of him. It was Uatu the Watcher.

"Greetings, Gohan," Uatu said. "I have summoned you here because I believe you have the potential to be a great hero. But to do so, you must first learn the value of balance."

Gohan was confused. "What do you mean, balance?" he asked.

"Balance between your physical strength and your spiritual strength," Uatu explained. "You have incredible power, but if you do not cultivate your inner strength, you risk losing control and causing great harm."

Gohan listened carefully to Uatu's words. He realized that the Watcher was imparting a great wisdom to him. He vowed to take Uatu's words to heart and become a better hero.

After his conversation with Uatu, Gohan returned to Tony Stark and the Avengers. He asked Tony if he could use the resources of Stark Industries to develop a way to cultivate his inner strength. Tony, impressed with Gohan's determination and wisdom, agreed to help.

Over the next few months, Gohan trained with Tony's technology and developed his spiritual strength. He became more centered and focused, and he felt that he was ready to face any challenge that came his way.

One day, while the Avengers were on a mission, they received a distress signal from deep space. They responded immediately, and when they arrived, they found themselves face to face with Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.

But instead of attacking, Gohan stepped forward and engaged Galactus in conversation. He asked the cosmic being about his purpose and his reason for consuming worlds.

Galactus was taken aback by Gohan's words. He had never encountered a being like Gohan before. As they spoke, Gohan realized that Galactus was not evil, but merely a force of nature.

With this realization, Gohan vowed to find a way to stop Galactus without resorting to violence. He set the stage for a new epic saga, one in which he would use his spiritual strength to save not just the world, but the entire universe.

ACT VI. WE NEED YOU! Z-FIGHTERS, X-MEN, & AVENGERS!!

As Gohan continued his conversation with Galactus, he felt a strange energy in the air. Suddenly, a portal opened up, and a figure stepped out. It was the Silver Surfer, Galactus's herald.

The Surfer explained that other space tyrants had formed an alliance with Galactus, and they were now waging war against the universe. The Avengers, X-Men, and Z Fighters were called to action, and they formed a united front against their common enemy.

The battle was brutal and intense. The space tyrants were powerful, and they had an army of minions at their disposal. The heroes fought with all their might, but they were outnumbered and outgunned.

At the center of the conflict was Galactus himself. Gohan stepped forward, ready to face the Devourer of Worlds. Their battle was epic and intense, with both combatants pushing themselves to their limits.

At first, it seemed as if Gohan was hopelessly outmatched. Galactus's power was beyond anything he had ever encountered, and the weight of the universe was on his shoulders. But as the battle continued, Gohan began to tap into his spiritual strength.

With each passing moment, Gohan's power grew stronger, and Galactus began to weaken. It was as if Gohan's inner strength was feeding on Galactus's cosmic energy, and he was becoming stronger and stronger.

Finally, in a burst of energy, Gohan landed a crushing blow on Galactus. The Devourer of Worlds fell to the ground, defeated.

The heroes cheered, but Gohan was too exhausted to celebrate. He collapsed to the ground, his body wracked with pain. It was as if he had used up every last ounce of his strength.

But as he lay there, he realized something. He had tapped into a power that was beyond physical strength, beyond cosmic energy. He had tapped into his own inner strength, the strength that came from his heart and his soul.

And he knew that this was the true source of his power, the power that would allow him to continue fighting for what was right, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

ACT VII.  COSMIC GOHAN! THE UNIVERSE’S MOST POWERFUL WARRIOR !

As Gohan lay on the ground, Galactus suddenly rose back to his feet, towering over the exhausted hero. "You may have defeated me once, Gohan," he said, "but I am not so easily beaten."

Galactus's eyes glowed with cosmic power, and Gohan could feel the energy building around him. He knew that this was Galactus's final stand, and that he would need to use everything he had to emerge victorious.

Suddenly, Gohan began to feel a strange power surging within him. He felt a deep connection to the cosmos, as if he were being infused with the power of the universe itself.

With a roar of triumph, Gohan stood up and lifted his arms to the sky. His body began to glow with a brilliant light, and a new form emerged: Cosmic Gohan.

Cosmic Gohan was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. He was surrounded by a glowing aura of energy, and his eyes glowed with a fierce intensity. He had gained new abilities, such as the power to manipulate gravity and the ability to create massive energy constructs from pure cosmic energy.

Cosmic Gohan is a sight to behold. His hair is longer and more flowing than ever before, now reaching down to his waist. It is still black, but it is now streaked with silver and purple highlights, shimmering in the light.

His body is even more muscular than before, but it is now infused with cosmic energy. His muscles bulge and ripple, glowing with a soft blue light. His skin has taken on a slightly bluish tint, as if he were being illuminated from within.

He wears a new set of clothing, made from an unknown material that seems to absorb and amplify cosmic energy. The outfit is a sleek, black jumpsuit, with silver and purple highlights that match his hair. The suit hugs his muscular frame, emphasizing his powerful physique.

His eyes are now a bright, piercing blue, glowing with a fierce intensity. They seem to hold the secrets of the universe, and anyone who looks into them is filled with a sense of awe and wonder.

Galactus charged at Cosmic Gohan, but the hero was ready. He lifted his arms and unleashed a massive Kamehameha wave, imbued with the power of the cosmos. The energy blast slammed into Galactus, sending him reeling.

But Galactus wasn't done yet. He unleashed a barrage of cosmic energy, trying to overpower Cosmic Gohan. But the hero was too powerful. He stood his ground, absorbing the energy and redirecting it back at Galactus.

The two combatants traded blows, each trying to gain the upper hand. But in the end, it was Cosmic Gohan who emerged victorious. He unleashed a final, devastating Kamehameha wave, which engulfed Galactus in a bright white light.

When the light faded, Galactus was nowhere to be seen. Cosmic Gohan collapsed to the ground, exhausted but triumphant. The heroes rushed to his side, congratulating him on his victory.

From that day forward, Cosmic Gohan became known as a champion of the universe, using his new powers to protect the cosmos from any threat that dared to challenge it.

ACT VIII.  COSMIC GOHAN V. GALACTUS!! THE FINAL BLOW !

With a mighty blast of energy, Cosmic Gohan defeated Galactus once and for all. The cosmic tyrant's massive form crumpled and fell, his power extinguished forever.

The universe was saved, but at a great cost. The battle had left many worlds in ruins, and countless lives had been lost. But thanks to the bravery and heroism of Gohan and his allies, the threat of Galactus was finally vanquished.

As the dust settled and the heroes took stock of the aftermath, Gohan felt a sense of peace within himself. He had truly come into his own as a warrior, and he had saved the lives of billions. It was a moment he would never forget.

But as he looked up at the stars, he knew that there would always be more threats to the universe. More villains, more tyrants, more dangers lurking in the shadows. And he knew that he would be ready, whenever they came.

For Gohan had become more than just a warrior. He had become a protector of the universe, a defender of all that was good and right. And he would always be ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

You don’t have to be a fan of sports to know that women’s sports doesn’t receive as much respect and admiration as men’s sports. However, a step in the right direction started happening during the 2023 Women’s NCAA Basketball tournament. It starts with Caitlin Clark, the 6foot guard from Iowa, who is on the court making threes all the way from Mumbai. Her high velocity play via her vicious 3 pointer started putting eyes on the women’s tourney.

Many people in media started giving the public heads up that it was time to start tuning into the women’s tourney because they’re turning up. So when it time to get to the finals the spotlight grows bigger as people created a “Bird vs Magic” scenario with the predominately white team Iowa, facing off against the predominately black team the LSU Tigers. The finals then gave birth to the beginning of new era fueled by the passionate and beautiful forward, Angel Reese and the multi-talented Flau’Jae Johnson.

The finals show off turned out to be the biggest college sports event of the year even outperforming the men’s tournament. The 2023 viewership brought in a whopping 9.9 million viewers. With LSU bringing home the trophy along with some controversy a star was birthed and we are witnessing someone who is using their new found fame to its full advantage.

Angel Reese is a breathe of fresh air for women sports because she maintains her femininity while being an actual great player.

Making her extremely marketable, combined with the power of youth, she’s an unstoppable force as long as she keeps up an elite level of play. She currently has one of the highest NIL deal of any college athlete which as of today is at $1.3 million and increasing. Her partner in crime, Flau’Jae is also taking advantage of her platform by still pursuing her passion of music and going viral with freestyles every chance she get.

The pair even made their way to legendary morning show The Breakfast Club, where Reese reveals her achievement has even caught the attention of the likes of Drizzy and Future, both congratulating her on her dominance.

I really like the way their moving because the bigger they get the bigger women’s sports and opportunities get. Next LSU games are probably going to look like LA games and if they continue to rise to the occasion, which is elite play winning chips every year is not required, they can make WNBA games a star studded event as well.

These girls are making all the right moves and its a joy to see women players thrive in their space.

Update: by the time I actually wrote this article, Latto & Cardi B released a video “Put it on da Floor Again” featuring a cameo from Angel Reese further cementing her star power.

The best part of this, the young ladies are handling their stardom well by staying in the gym and maintaing a perfect balance between hoops and socializing. They both even got selected to participate for USA women’s team, after not getting selected previous years which shows the hard work never stopped. In fact its just getting started and the ladies are showing us how they will continue to move different and take women basketball to new spaces.

ART AND JESUS: Is it sacrilegious or can we respect the artistic integrity.

ART AND JESUS

APRIL 13, 2023

I.THE CROWN OF THORNS

Kendrick Lamar during his Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Tour

Is it sacrilegious or can we respect the artistic integrity. I was watching a recent Kdot performance during his Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers run and was noticing he was wearing a diamond crown of thorns, which I believe he wore on the album cover.

As I was watching it, I scrolled through the comments and was noticing a lot of people were concerned about Kendrick’s crown and felt like he was making a mockery of Jesus. The crown look aesthetically cool but I started having the same concerns. I think in order to crack this we have to go back what the crown of thorns actually meant in reference to Jesus.

In the Bible the crown of thorns were definitely a symbol of mockery.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

31 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

Matthew 27:28-31

As you can see the crown of thorns meant no good when it was placed upon Jesus’ head. Yet you see images of Kdot, the Makaveli album cover (which did it says it did not intend to be a mockery on the cover), and even the Kanye Rolling Stone cover where he was depicted as if he were crucified. I think I can understand what these artists are at least trying to portray.

I think each artist is expressing the criticism and trials that comes with their position of influence. I guess extreme public criticism could in essence feel like a crucifixion. Which is probably a logical/sensible comparison since crucifixion was a common way of public humiliation back in the day.

I believe the issues become though nothing they go through can compare to THEE crucifixion (Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice) and it is probably unwise to compare anything to it. Jesus was completely without fault, unjustly destroyed, and decided to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world from itself.

II.UNJUST COMPARISON

Stop me if I’m wrong but does any of the artists I named contributions amount to something like that?I’ll answer for you, no! So it begs the question why do people continue to do stuff like this? Every generation has an artist and will have an artist that tries to recreate something related to the crucifixion of Jesus but I can’t understand what pushes people to do that besides the earlier point I made. So back to my earlier question, do we respect the artistic integrity or classify the things these artists do as a smack in the face to Christ himself? Bottom line, I can’t find myself that the artists I named had deliberate ill intent in their heart but I know there are other artists out there who have done the same thing who had full intentions to be a mocker!

Though I cannot find deliberate ill intent I can stand on the fact that things like this may be best avoided. Our hardships and criticism just simply don’t compare to what Jesus suffered, even though we can use his suffering as teaching tool on how to deal with suffering, we should never think we have paid ultimate price of suffering as he did especially when it comes to music & arts.

Even I had a line that went “… five stars where they keep us and I wear the same crown that they gave Jesus” and I pretty much meant what I said earlier, the line was meant to show people mocked and criticized me and didn’t think I wasn’t as esteemed as I portrayed myself. But today I probably wouldn’t say a line like that after going through the process of writing this article and realizing what I was saying. So yeah moving forward lets probably stop using Jesus’ execution as a metaphor for our life’s suffering because the comparison is really nonexistent when you think about it.

LOUIS PHARRELL?!

LOUIS PHARRELL?!



I. REGIME CHANGE!

Rumor has it that Pharrell is set to become the new Menswear Designer of Louis Vuitton, following a successful run by the late Virgil Abloh.

Louis Vuitton by KidSuper

Recently, KidSuper, the unorthodox Brooklyn creative, guest designed for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week this year.

I personally enjoyed his designs very much and thought he would be a perfect candidate to take over the mantel.

Others in strong consideration included, Grace Wales Bonner and Martine Rose.

Martine Rose, was amongst the crowd favorite to take over at Louis Vuitton.

Martine Rose

Martine Rose, founder of her namesake label, which was established in 2007. Her menswear label found its footing in the late 2010s and have since collaborated with brands, such as Nike and Tommy Jeans.

As a designer by trade, Martine Rose, held the education credentials and the popularity, that would make her a front runner to take over as the menswear designer for Louis Vuitton.

So why Pharrell over everyone.

II.WHY PHARRELL OVER EVERYONE?

Pharrell, legendary producer and musician, has strong footprints in fashion. He his undoubtedly an influencer, even his sole existence helped Tyler The Creator find his footing, and he actually demonstrated success in fashion with Billionaire Boys Club/IceCream - co-founded with Japanese mogul NIGO®,  CHANELPHARRELL - limited partnership w/ Chanel during Karl Lagerfeld’s run, and his ongoing Adidas Human Race partnership to say the least.

But we have to address the elephant in the room..

Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs x Pharrell x NIGO

Why Pharrell over “actual” designers? Is he actually ready to head a fashion house on his own? Will he rely too much on assistance from NIGO?

These are the questions that makes people doubt P’s capability to produce high quality collections, season after season.

Pharrell is no stranger to working with Louis Vuitton as he worked with the brand previously when Marc Jacobs held the reigns at the brand.

However it seems Louis Vuitton may be relying too heavy on star power and polarization than actual designing.

As much as we love Pharrell, I don’t think anyone actually saw this coming. I for one thought KidSuper had it in a bag. His designs felt like a direct sequel to the Virgil regime, keeping the similar aesthetics while still incorporating his distinct design features.

But if I learned anything, it’s don’t knock someone before they even get the chance to showcase their capabilities. 

Where Pharrell lacks technically, I’m sure his passion and resourcefulness will overcome his weaknesses and allow him to produce collections true to him and profitable for the brand.

He would have to produce extremely horrible collections for this to be a failure because the power of LV’s heritage + P’s personal brand, whatever is made will be purchased regardless but whatever is made will be purchased regardless.

However, him and Louis Vuitton has to be ready for the automatic backlash/pre-conceived criticism that is sure to come to this partnership.

III. EMBRACING THE CHANGE

As much as we revere Virgil, his run at LV wasn’t met with rainbows and sunshine all the time either, the internet surely gave their (uncalled for) opinions and called him out multiple times,

Including when people were upset that the LV sneakers were nothing but AVIA sneakers with LV branding.

So, if this rumor holds true P definitely has an uphill battle against him but as one of our heroes in the culture,

We should root for his success no matter what and give him a chance first before launching the rocks of criticism at his face.

THE ONE REASON YOU CAN’T GIVE UP!

THE ONE REASON YOU CAN’T GIVE UP!

January 8, 2023



Ahhh its a new year, can you believe it 2023? As I was working on promoting the site, (yeah the one you’re on right now lol), I was thinking about how one of my greatest assets in running this site is time itself.

The reason why time itself can be a valuable asset is because resources that could assist literally take time to be created and available to you.

With the update that came with Squarespace, they easily make quality marketable videos that catches potential consumers in a blink of an eye. Normally we would have to work several programs for creating promotional videos, some that wouldn’t even be more than a minute.

Very Clutch Marketing, head to the merchandise tab to purchase some gear

However, Squarespace now have a whole studio tool where you literally pick a product from your inventory and they make endless combinations of images, videos, and .gifs!

Imagine if I would’ve been sulking years ago when this didn’t exist. Imagine if I would’ve complained about how I didn’t have the money or knowledge to get proper promotion for my site, I would’ve gave up losing on potentially millions of dollars, Worse than losing the money, I would’ve lost my pride and became an infinite loser, probably spending my days hating on another entrepreneur who didn’t quit.

This stretches beyond my site, it was very useful in my music itself. Without technological advances through time, I would’ve never created the music that I wanted to make.

Garageband been around for a while, but it took time for them to come up with these legendary soundpacks! I definitely put them to use!

Access to new loops, my cell phone, and different recording software allowed me to take my music in my hands and not rely on another soul to get my stuff poppin.

Now I’m actually doing performances and made money from my music but if I didn’t allow the divine actions of time to work itself, I would’ve quit and would’ve hated and blamed people because I didn’t take my career in my own hands.

So the reason that you may not be where you wanna be isn’t because of your ability to work, skill, or any other merit based factor. It may simply because what you need doesn’t exist yet! So keep going, learn the lessons you’re supposed to learn, and in due time, time will be on your side!

MY FIRST SALE

MY FIRST SALE

December 25, 2022

First of all Merry. Christmas you filthy animals! Today requires some gratitude and reflection. I’ve always been appreciative of Christmas, its a time to celebrate the Birth of Christ, conjugate with family, and an overall celebration of holiday cheer. However, there’s an underrated experience to Christmas, that’s the Christmas Miracle.

The Christmas miracle occurs when the thing you need or want to exactly happen, actually happens, and it’s in the most miraculous way possible. Today is actually the five year anniversary of what I regard as a special Christmas miracle, my first sale!

If you’re on this site, then you know gettothecorner.com serves as the hub for my premiere streetwear brand, WELÇOME©: HAND DRAWN GRAPHICS, will features original ideas as well as my artistic spin on things in popular culture that influenced me.

I.BACK IN 2017…

Well back in 2017, I actually haven’t made a sale yet. I got plenty of compliments and possible buyers but nothing really came from it. On the flip side of potential customers, I had naysayers, critics, and ridiculers. Back when I first started, one of my biggest criticisms was that I charged too much. I came out the gate charging $150 for hoodies,$80 for t-shirts, etc. My whole logic was that I would charge for quality of designs, what I would actually pay, and effort put into the work. The funny thing is people who criticized me were the ones who would easily spend on luxury items from other brands, I guess I wasn’t worth it huh? lol

Anyways, I was chillin’ at my grandmothers crib and it was a regular day. I was on the phone talking to my mans when I received.a PAYPAL notification for…$89.00! I couldn’t believe it! What made this sale even better is day in day out, I would repeatedly say a prayer, “Lord allow me to receive sales via Paypal.” I requested that because I would get the payment immediately because I haven’t built up the customer cache to receive my funds immediately when people paid via credit/debit card.

II.FEELING VINDICATED

When that payment it vindicated me in such a way like I haven’t been before. I got someone to. pay me nearly a $100 for a drawing I made in my Grandma’s living room then pressed up on a hoodie. It proved me right, I knew I didn’t have to sacrifice my idea of my brand just to get a sale. I didn’t have to make a $30 hoodie just because I was “unknown”. Fast forward, 2022 has been my biggest year yet! I am so grateful for Christ allowing my site to be profitable and for sending the right people from various backgrounds to make my site operate. Thank you all and remember your Christmas miracle awaits you just be open to receive and commit your desires to God!

WHAT I LIKE SEEING THE MOST

What I Like Seeing the Most

October 15, 2022



When it comes to female rap there is one name that is shaking hip hop to its core, coming straight outta Memphis, its Gloria Hallelujah Woods, b.k.a., Glorilla! Glorilla took 2022 by storm with her Hit Kidd produced smash, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)”. The infectious track had every one chanting “F R E E..” and “Let’s Gooooooooo”.

Big Glo caught viral attention, mainly in part due to her music video, which features her and friends, which people described them as “regular” and “ordinary” women. Meaning none of them look surgically enhanced like how many of our instagram feeds look today.

As her song was going viral, Glorilla and her associates faced many criticisms, mainly critiques concerning their looks. However, that only made Glo’s ascension that much more satisfying.

This is what I love seeing the most, the glow up! Specifically w/ Glorilla’s metoric rise. I loved seeing her get new teeth after being ridiculed, I loved seeing her receive star glam treatment, and I love seeing her performances rise. I remember when my boy was telling me how Glorilla had a show in the natti during that time, she only had F.N.F., so I didn’t expect much of the performance. I knew she was collecting them beginnning of fame club bags.

The Boy and Big Glo!

Then as time went on, she start proving herself , song after song. She made me a believer when she dropped that “Tomorrow” record and I’m talking before Cardi B hopped on it. When she started her verse with, “Looking good as hell today, just sent my n**** five attachments,” I said Oh yeah she hard foreal! Then I heard all the stuff she did with GlossUp, HitKidd, Slimeroni, Aleza, and K Carbon (its carbonnnnnn lmao). I knew I was listening to a bonafide star.

I love watching each step and being able to tell when the money hit (lol) and when she stepped into stardom completely. Seeing her Rolling Loud and BETHIPHOP awards performances let me know that she’s here to stay and with the recent release of her first EP, Glorilla may have been handpicked by God himself to takeover the reigns of female rap. I look forward to seeing her grow.

AGE AND MUSIC

Age and Music

October 12, 2022

Two careers that a young black boy will always take an interest in are, Rapping and Athletics. Most people have done both feats and most haven’t made any professional stride in either category. Most of them starts young as well. I never wanted to be a professional athlete but please believe I love rapping with all my heart. I’ve been rapping since maybe 2000. I really started consistently writing raps in the 7th grade but I wrote my first rap way earlier, it was a rap about shoelaces lol. During that same week I wrote my first song called “Oreo Klondike Bar” lmao. I wrote it in the vein of RUNDMC’s My Adidas lol. If you know me my first song being about Oreos makes perfect sense lmao.

Fast forward as I get older with music around 18/19 I started locking in with my younger cousin Khalil, who was around 12/13 at the time. So basically I became his mentor and started getting his rapping chops right. When he started writing it was a struggle because he was so young so he didn’t have much experience in life, I was only a few years older, but those few years makes a difference.

Me and Khalil first and final tape together released in 2011, due to tragic events we could not complete the second one even though we worked on it. #LongLiveKhalil

When we would be writing together I told him “Cuz just focus on yo flow because nobody grown wanna hear you because you too young to talk about something relatable.” That’s when he would start going and start focusing on playing with how he said things rather than what he said. I can remember coaching him on saying the same part fifty different times lmao. Man those were great times, as time started to progress, he started digging deeper, and was starting to fight the reverse ageism against his lyrical content.

With the combination of him studying music on his own and me co-writing his verses, he started to understand himself as an artist. It got to a point where he would send me hooks and songs that I didn’t write his verse or anything, and I would be impressed like Damn cuz you wrote this?

For anyone who starts music young this is basically all our story not just Khalil’s. When you’re young making music, you’re either capping way too much or talking about some absolute bs. The younger you are you should just focused on sounding good, learning how to write, and studying music. Then when you’re older you’ll gain actual experience which you could translate into songs.

Its amazing as an artist to reach a point where you can take a situation or event in your life and write a song about that one specific thing and not get off topic, while rhyming and actual sounding dope. That’s why I’m so excited to see younger people get that spark to want to do music, but I hate the people that get into to waste time and not take it serious.

I don’t wanna hear no 14 year old talking about smoking opps, racks going crazy, and a whole bunch of dumb stuff we know you not doing, If your idiotic self is actually doing it then we got bigger problems then music because you’re heading down the path of destruction. Its getting real Dennis the Menace in this bih lmao ( but a 100 times worse).

Remember Bow Wow started young but no grown man wanted to hear him as a little boy. He was for little girls, as he aged he still had a female target audience, but his content grew and matured, proving my age and music point.

If you’re a young a preteen/teen don’t ever get discouraged from pursuing your genuine interest in rapping. Yes we have enough rappers and most are extremely trash and posisbly destructive to our community but I believe in people following their passion. Who cares if its a thousand rappers, its only one you! Invest in yourself, let time be your teacher, and grow, grow, grow!

NOTHING LIKE A GOOD CAMEO

NOTHING LIKE A GOOD CAMEO

August 31, 2022

On this day, I was watching Latto’s video for her single, “It’s Givin”. It’s a standout track on her sophomore album, 777, and its produced by FNZ, JetsonMade, and Pooh Beatz. While I was watching the video, I saw several cameos from the likes of Angela Simmons, Chloe x Halle, Ella Mai, Flo Milli and more. That’s when I thought man its something about a good cameo that just make a video/film/track, etc hit harder. I believe its because of several things..

I.CAMEO SHOWS SUPPORT.

Cameo is defined as a small character part in a play or movie, played by a distinguished actor or a celebrity. Meaning that this is someone who doesn’t have to be apart of whatever their making a cameo in. Their role is minor and its probably free of charge, so its something about this project that is so respectable by the person making the cameo, that it makes the cameo worthwhile. I believe the audience can pick up on that and something goes off in their head like wow this person must believe in this things they’re in otherwise why are you here?

II.CAMEO CAN ALSO BE A SIGN OF RESPECT.

The main example of this are probably the Stan Lee cameos. Other than the fact he probably had a literal contract clause that required him to make a cameo in most Marvel movies, I’m sure most people would not be opposed to seeing a founding pillar of Marvel make an appearance for a few seconds. Stan Lee cameos were the living embodiment multiple years filled with sacrifice, failure, and triumph. You saw the movie’s vision as Stan Lee made his standard pop in. You think about the external things that I mentioned previously before you dive back into the deep comic world built by him and others.

A well placed cameo can take a simple video to moment in time. If you can create a moment and possibly create a timestamp in history then your piece of performative art accomplished everything it could be and more!

THE MOVIE GAME

August 31, 2022

I was looking at the beautiful BAPE x MARVEL bapesta collabs and when I saw the Hulk sneaker, for some reason I thought about that atrocious HULK game that was released when the 2003 HULK movie dropped.

I started to think about why did every movie game totally sucked? I remember everytime a blockbuster was set to release, Lord behold a video game counterpart was release alongside it. One of the times I was scarred by the movie game was The Grinch. It was released on the Sega Dreamcast and served as a companion to Jim Carrey’s Grinch film (which was actually good). What hurted the most about The Grinch game is I didn’t even want the damn game! Here’s how I ended up getting it anyway.

This Game Sucked!!!

One day we was in Blockbuster and my mother was taking me and my brother to get video games for our Sega Dreamcast My favorite type of game has always been fighting games, so when I saw Street Fighter I was ecstatic! But my mother said, “Vonnie you always get those type of games, why don’t you try something different”, it was the worst advice she ever gave me lmao. I tried something different and what I got was an utter piece of s***. No effort was put into it at all, an obvious cash grab.

Unforturnately this wasn’t a one off, it had to be a reason the movie game stop being an essential extension of the blockbuster movie. I was on wikipedia the other day looking at MCU info and noticed the only video games made for the MCU was for the first two phases. None of the games were received well and they all suffered from clunky gameplay, average graphics, and a repetitiveness mechanic that would fry your brain if you let it lol.

TRASH!!!!!!

I’m glad someone got the memo and finally stopped making these horrendous games. However, I do wonder what was the breaking point? Excessive critical panning or low sales? It had to be commercial because we know if it makes money another one is getting made.

Do you remember any good movie games? Let me know in the comments or something!
