in a sense, i've come into this Rich Boy state-of-mind lately.. but then again, its the same state-of-mind that i've always been in - its just gotten a little more in-depth lately.
i've been a fan of Rich Boy since his album, which stayed in the deck when i got it. i've been coppin' playing his mixtapes off & on, especially "Bigger Than The Mayor".. but there's so many things, from reading magazine interviews, internet interviews & new album info, that me & Rich Boy relate on & its the philosophy of "it is what it is".
he's one of the few people in the entertainment business that is true to himself, his craft & his fans, whether that fanbase be little or large. i've got the same thoughts on alotta the things that he speaks about & puts character in, such as loyalty, struggle & respect. right now, i'm constantly looking over my shoulder for people that i once believe wouldn't cross me, to potentially do just that. reading up & with Rich Boy has brought about an older mentality within myself that i said i was letting go of to become a better person.. in the essence & walk to become that "better person", i've achieved about 85% of that goal.. but now my "better" side is being taken for a weaker side..
the old me is sorta how Rich is: its either you like it or you don't; you're either gonna buy it or you don't; its either black or white.. that kinda thing. he doesn't really recognize too much bullshxt from anything or anyBODY - so when the hell did iiiii start doing it..? thats what i've been trying to figure out lately for the longest. i've let alotta things slide with ALOTTA people (& i exclude NO ONE when i say that..) the only thing about it is, i've kinda went back to picking up old pieces of me & everyone is looking at me like i aint familiar..
