Last Year

Man that was a trip.

2010 was eventful to say the least… It was one of those rollercoaster years you know? One minute you’re up and on your way down. The next minute it’s vice versa. One thing was for sure… Man I stayed busy. My album “Kind of Blue” did a good job for me! I should’ve put it out by myself tho. The company that distributed it was shit and I see that I really didn’t need them for anything… Cuz they really didn’t do anything! Lol! Anyway, it I wanna take this time to thank everyone that supported the album. I really appreciate the love. I also did a slew of collabz with all kinds of artists from all kinds of places! The studio is my temple and last year I got mines in… all planting the seeds for this new year. Now let’s see what grows…

Enough about business. This ain’t that type of blog today. Today we on some real life, all important shit. I’m thankful because I’m blessed. I travel around the world to some of the damnest places and see some of the worst sites imaginable. Health and strength breeds happiness if your heart is right… Is your heart right? I sit back and look at the roof over my head and I’m thankful. I take a deep breath and rejoice in the ability to do so. How many people can’t? How many people are in some cold hospital bead right now not knowing how long they have left? In August I was laying in a hospital bed having surgery in my stomach to remove what I thought was cancer… Talk about scary! Turned out to be some kind of benign cysts that had been there for years. They had to come out tho. It took me out of play for about a month and I’ll never forget that period not knowing what was wrong with me… Or would I ever be the same again. It ain’t easy for a man to go from picking up 300lbs to being on bed rest. I made it thru it tho… I got a clean bill of health and I’m back to normal thank God. I promise to never take the air I breathe for granted.

In 2010 I was determined to fix my family. Over time, the hustle can have u debilitated to the point that u lose the things that you hold dearest. I was determined not to allow that to happen. With a couple of my family relationships I had to bite the bullet. One particular person is probably the Queen of WRONG. In 2010 I repeatedly allowed her to be right. Instead of fighting I just agreed with everything. She built a hole so big that I was the only person with a rope long enough to get her out. I didn’t dangle it over the edge or make her grovel. I just thru the rope in and pulled her out. For that I’m blessed… I’m sitting at the airport with both my kids. In 2010 they spent Christmas together for the first time. I thank u God from the bottom of my heart… From the bottom of my heart.

In no way am I trying to say that things ain’t at an all time level of “fucked-upness”, but they could definitely be a LOT worse. I haven’t had some great revelation. Shit is as it was. I still hate the Celtics, Arsenal, and Alabama Football. Oprah and Rachel Ray can still get it. Skinny Jeans are still fruity and Love is still a crock of shit. One thing is for certain tho…

We are truly blessed and highly favored. Thank God for your life today.

I know I am…

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WESTSIDE4LIFE!!!!!!
