Thought I would share this little post by Kid Cudi I found it to pretty motivational... and I'm a firm believer in what he says about being yourself, expressing yourself and not giving a fuck about what people think about you..... Some of the best advice I have ever gotten was from my good homie DJ Inti, he told me back in the day "just do you" and I have lived by that ever since.......
"I REPRESENT EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD AND DECENT IN THE WORLD, IAM THE VOICE OF A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF YOUTH WHO WANT TO JUST BE WHO THEY ARE. YOUNGINS WHO WANT TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS, AND WHO ARE MISUNDERSTOOD. KIDS WITH DREAMS. KIDS WHO THE LAST THING THEY WANNA DO IS HARM ANOTHER HUMAN BEING BUT AT THE SAME TIME STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN PICKIN AND CHOOSIN THEIR BATTLES. I BRING HOPE TO THE UNDERDOGS AND FRUSTRATION TO THE HATERS. IAM A MESSENGER FROM GOD, HE WANTS ME TO SACRIFICE MYSELF AND PUT MY ISSUES OUT THERE SO OTHERS CAN LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND IGNORANCE. AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE IS ONLY FAITH, AND IM THE NEW POSTER BOY FOR CHANGE, POSITIVE ENERGY, PEACE AND LOVE. IAM NOT A PERFECT MAN, HOWEVER MY MISSION IS TO BETTER MYSELF THROUGH SONG, ULTIMATELY FINDING INNER PEACE AND WALKING A MORE POSITIVE PATH. IAM YOUR HERO, WHEN YOU ARE WEAK I WILL SPEAK TO YOU, WHEN IAM WEAK U SHALL SPEAK TO ME….THE ARTIST AND FAN BOND IS ESTABLISHED NOW. WE NEED EACH OTHER, I NEED YOU ALL MORE THAN YOU NEED ME. I WILL BE HERE FOREVER EVEN IF IM NOT HERE IN THE PHYSICAL, MY WORDS WILL GUIDE AND HOPEFULLY INSPIRE A MOVEMENT OF PEACE AND LOVE ACROSS THE WORLD…IM NOT HIP HOPS NEXT BIG THING, IM NOT THE BEST NEW ARTIST, IM NOT ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE NEW COOL OR WHATEVER OTHER LABEL U CAN GIVE ME, IAM JUS PLAIN OL “IMPORTANT”. IAM INCOMPARABLE TO ANYONE, SO CUT THE SHIT. I STAND OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE LAUGHIN AT THOSE INSIDE IT AT THE SAME TIME PRAYIN THEY WAKE UP AND JOIN THE REAL….IAM HOPE, AND LIKE LEBRON’S RISE TO HEROIC FEATS, U ARE ALL WITNESSES. YOUVE WATCH ME GROW FROM A KID FROM CLEVELAND OHIO WITH THIS COOL SONG THAT ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE BELIEVED IN, THAT EVERYONE WROTE OFF AS A ONE HIT WONDER, TO BEIN ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT ARTISTS THIS YEAR AND LAST…YOU CAN REMAIN STANDOFFISH IF YOU WANT, BUT THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. U KNOW CUDI, BUT YOUR LISTENING TO SCOTT. IM HERE, AND MY VOICE WILL LIVE ON FOREVER. YOU HAVNT SEEN, OR HEARD ANYTHING YET. AND LIKE I SAID LAST YEAR, I AINT PLAYIN NOMORE
MY MUSIC IS:
ONE SMALL STEP FOR ME, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR ALL WEIRDKIND.
MOONMAN
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO HEAVEN AT NIGHT?
MY DEFINITION OF WEIRD: ANYBODY WHO IS A LEADER AND FOLLOWS THEIR HEART"
