so i noticed that a lot of folks in my generation/age group are aspiring to see their name in lights... all these aspiring rappers (IMO some of which are not hot at all), singers, actors... celebrities if you will. sometimes i think (for some) its a quick way to get rich, other times i think its something people are really good at and they have that passion and drive to achieve it. what happened to being original and having something that everybody else cant touch? cant imitate perfectly? im trying to break down why all these youngns... semi including me... (lol) want to shine and be in the spotlight.
for me, i know that fashion is just something i want to do, not so i can be in the limelight and have the paparazzi stalking my every move lol, but because its something i love. sure it would be nice to see my designs walking down a red carpet or two, but thats not my main mission. and i know that a 9 to 5 is not my best suit lol, and i think thats 1 thing a lot of other people might agree with me on.
now, when mediocre people get record deals (aka soulja boy, cassie, or any other steeze jacking person) that kills me. cassie should stick to being a model. i think the only reason why she blew up and got signed to bad boy was because the song ’me and you’ had a good beat and nobody was really trippin sayin this chick cant sing etc. plus ’helping’ diddy is almost always a plus lol... soulja boy needs to stay his ass in school. all i have to say about that. so with that said, i feel like, people should give a valid reason why theyre doing what they are... lol cuz with music friend requests on this thing, i always end up clicking deny cuz they all sound the same to me, nothing original, nothing new for my ears to listen to.
mediocre people acting... kill me now! lol just like diddy acting on broadway and on tv for a raisin in the sun... hell to the no! that shit was horrible. just because he has money, he thinks he can act... no maam. rappers and singers turned actors... not the best combination IMO. now everyday people acting... i think folks are jus tryna get into hollywood, being blinded by the bright lights and the fame... and theyre not necessarily that great.
is it the money? i think getting rich quick just satisfies somebodys want for money. theyre not necessarily doing what they love... theyre jus tryna get it. i think that in todays world, with the rich getting richer and the poor definately getting poorer, its a quick fix. i think you gotta put in long time and hard work to be financially comfortable (at the minimum). and i kno im willing to put in work to do what i would love to do.
i just want to know what it is that everybody is after...
thoughts?
