As I wrote in my first blog, I was headed downtown to represent and watch some up and coming local artists do their thing and meet some more music people. What I found, was a group of young people that have a dream to make it big in music and a group of haters who do not want them to make anything out of their dreams. These haters, happened to be security guards. Man that is a tough one. How are you supposed to rock at a club when you know security wants to beef with you?
With almost every club in Albuquerque being free, the place wasn't packed like it could have been. Especially to support the local artists. But the groups performed and the night looked like it would end on a positive note. However, here come the guards trying to goad a young emcee to fight. Man, I can't stand a hater like that. Why can't you just let that man be? Cause' he got an athletic jersey on? Pick anything!
My message to those young aspiring emcees and just to people with a dream period is to stay focused and undeterred. Don't let nobody, family, friends and especially strangers keep you from working your hardest to make something happen for yourself. People will ignore Jay-Z's decree, and try to knock your hustle. Maybe they are knocking it, because they just don't feel your style. That's okay. Maybe they are jealous. That's okay. But you have a responsibility to pursue your dreams and goals until you cannot breathe anymore. At the end of the day, you will look back and have a good laugh at the obstacles that dared to stop you but could only serve as stairs to get you to the top.
Until I go in search of Hip-Hop again in Albuquerque, you all stay focused, dedicated, and prayed up.
Hip-Hopfully Yours,
Beno-other M.B.A.
