My loves!! It's been a while I know. I've been on a slight hiatus from the blog world for about 3 weeks--but I swear it's not my fault. I happen to have a little man/woman who lives in my belly, eats away at my life force, rejects all food, hates sleep and makes me fatter day-by-day--who I also happen to love endlessly. So please excuse my absence. Good news--I'M BACK!!
Which brings me to my top 10 reasons to become a rapper:
1. You don't have to be talented. And if you are talented, you don't have to use your common sense 99.8% of the time.
2. You can be a thug safely from your own home and/or tour bus (and even be a regular on Degrassi).
3. You don't have to finish the 3rd grade (or at least you don't have to sound like you did--well in Soulja Boy's case he did make it at least to ninth grade...twice).
4. All your friends can be somebody by association (wait a minute, ain't that Brandy's brother?).
5. You can be a crackhead (on tape--re: my all time fav Soulja boy) and still be accepted by the masses.
6. Even if you're not a crackhead, if you sound like one on wax, you WILL sell records (Pink Friday sold 40,000 copies on the first day).
7. Going to jail isn't the necessarily the end--it's actually a plus that could even land you your own reality show (right Tip? Kim?).
8. You can have immense amounts of self-hate and people will defend you until the death (apparently Lil' Wayne isn't too keen on the chocolate sisters--somehow I feel like his little chocolate daughter and her chocolate mama may grow up feeling some type of way about that).
9. You don't ever have to have a radio hit to be famous (50 Tyson--Minnesota, Twin Cities that's where he's from-- is blowing up on youtube as we speak).
10. Even if you do lack the talent, the masses will build you up and make you famous if only to laugh at your expense and make themselves feel better about their own messed up lives (re: 50 Tyson--you know--Minnesota Twin Cities that' where he's from?).
All in all. Who am I to throw salt on game?
Peace.
