"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." That's Hebrews 10:35-36
I really needed this, thanks

WTF...
I know its 6:45 in the morning but I just ( dont laugh ) had a nightmare, it was fuckin horrible.. First off I have to say I have some of the weirdest dreams but this was crazy, It involved my Family, A fear of mines, and a weird place/ suggestion. We went to some place and Next thing i know is MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER slipped and fell, I frozed my ass off, looking from a distance in awwh, My twin tried to grab her hair but he couldnt hold her so she fell to another level, I still froze, Scared of the height i guess but shocked at the incident, My mom tried to get up but started to fall again, into a deeper something which prob could have killed her, all this is going on I'm still stuck in fear like a dumbass, so I sucked it up and did what I had to do.......... WAKE MYSELF THE HELL UP

I'M Different ( The Ugly Duckling story)
So I just posting this amazing blog @ the Panic Room http://memphpanic.tumblr.com/ straight from my Heart on me being diffent so check it out. I didnt wanna post the same ish on my blogspot so I'm entitling this the Ugly Duckling.
So as Stated in my other blog http://memphpanic.tumblr.com/, I'm different and I've finally grown to accept that. All my life I've been busting my ass to fit in and still wasn't accepted, wow... actually sucks when you think about it. anywho, I was the guy who always wish I looked this way, dressed this way, hung with this crowd, etc.. but like I said I wasnt accepted, I blamed God for the most part along with everyone else instead of paying attention to the 3 fingers pointing back at myself. I always felt like I had to have people like me ( When its dark in your life just wait for the daylight) sorry listening to in the morning by Mary Mary, anyways don't know why i was like that but for some reason I've always loved and admired people who did them, They didnt care what people said they kept it moving and Look @ them Now
TUGGY
Nedria a.k.a RN, lmao
Greedy aka The Twin
Lisa
TrinaMy Besties are all successful in my eyes and all well almost all have been alienated in some way or another but what I love about them is that they stayed an Individual... stayed strong... Sooooooooo to the point, Growing up, even though i had a twin, everyone always thought he was the cute twin.. I was the ugly duckling, the outcast and honestly I can say i've been that up until this very point and no one to blame but myself because i've accepted this, I'm even more accepting to it now when you see where I'm going with this. So being in the shadows only made me a shadow, trying to follow people took away from the true leader I am and made me a follower. Its crazy because I was tryna follow and others were tryna follow me... Get it yet??? of course you don't. Not speaking only made me not have a voice.... it amazed me of how low I thought of myself sometimes yet those who rejected me (speaking to the ladies) back then now want me... they think I'm sexy... Don't make me post the MS messages, lol or when I'm out they be Jockin AP Jockin Jockin AP, lol but dig this I still didnt get it. Saying this (Note To Myself): Dare to Be Dre', why should I continue to be ashamed of being different????? Different is cool right????? if not it sure in the hell is finna be cause thats how I've been rolling anyways and everyone knows the ugly blossoms into the beautiful, in some cases, lol. Outcast?........ I am, Individually I could conquer whatever I wanted to, God did... He had faith and believed in himself, shouldnt I. This blog is to those who don't fit in. If it was bothering you, let it not again. I dont fit in either and I'm cool with that. Different is the new cool and the others will soon wanna be apart of what we are so far ahead of them in. Listen to this, a big chunk of those so called IN- crowders arent being true to themselves, they are living a lie, they are fitting in like we were trying to, keeping it real, everyone dont fit in with everybody, Example: Put a Popular student in a class full of nerds, in their envirionment they are superior and the popular student is just another.... another person. Starting today I'm coming out, My head held up high, I wont be ashamed that i'm different as of now, I embrace it. Bill Gates was Different, so was alot of other Million & Billionaires. Jesus was different and so am I. God Made us all different anyways, Take pride in that. I've grown from that Ugly Duckling into a Handsome.... Different... but still handsome Male Swain or a Cob
I've always thought differently from others but have hidden my thoughts. Today I arise as the different Individual that I've so longed to unveil to a harsh society. "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT, I AM"

Good Love
love can be good or bad. With good love you feel stable, secure, valued, loved and respected. Good love isn't just romance and empty promises. It's a consistent package of behaviours that leave you feeling nurtured and secure

Are we living in a Dream World?
I think at least 70 percent of peoples lifes are built on lies, If i met T.I., you like, man I met jay z or 50 cent, I’m gonna make this short and sweet, Be yourself, don’t flodge to fit in with the IN Crowd, be different and stand out. Sometimes its cool just being you, thats why God made us all individuals so accept yourself, fat, super skinny, acne faced, whatever, appreciate yourself.
Tomorrow
Indeed tomorrow will be a better day, for you and for me, enjoy it and keep it positive peeps

ReBlogged: Memphis BEATS, Atlanta Heat and New Inside Chess Moves To Do
Look at Miami. Rick Ross, Plies and Flo Rida.
Look at Atlanta. T.I., Ludacris and Young Jeezy.
Look at Houston. Slim Thug, Paul Wall and Mike Jones.
Everytime I talk to anyone at home about the local rap music scene, I get varying answers. You still have some people that think that Three 6 Mafia ACTUALLY controls the cities ariwaves (well, not counting Hot 107.1 FM...but that's not confirmed per se). Then, you have some people that tell me that there just isn't a true sense of unity in the city. I would agree but that statement can be answered with a yes and a no.
The veteran rappers are either disconnected, obselete, or have so much historical bad blood between each other that they will never attempt to do any record together. I could never imagine a Gangsta Pat and Three 6 Mafia song or a Kinfolk Kia Shine and Three 6 Mafia song (especially after Three 6 recently dissed Kia Shine at a autograph signing at Cat's Music in Memphis in retalliation for a previous diss on video and on Shine's Street Wars mixtapes). I mean the guy that got the first major record label deal with the self-proclaimed Kings of Memphis? How big would that be? What about a collaboration with our last viable major label artist with his new deal on Universal/Motown? Are they only dreams?
But, them like many other rappers in the city have dissed Three 6 Mafia and burned a major bridge with one of Memphis' most visible artists. Now, symbolically I'm not saying you HAVE to take the Hernando De Soto Bridge to get out of the city. You could down I-240 to I-55. You can go out through Millington. You can take I-40 to Nashville. But, you never want to limit your own personal options to move the city forward. Dissing any man, click or record label can do this.
But, there is hope with many of the newer artists coming out of the city. Miscellaneous and Yo Gotti are examples of some rappers that have had a disagreement but has since settled the problem and have since recorded with each other. Also, we can't forget the stunning display of unity shown on the Three 6 Mafia hit single "Stay Fly" featuring Eightball & MJG and Young Buck. This is still the highest Billboard-charted single from any artist/group coming out of Memphis,Tennessee.
But what I see happening now is nothing more than ingenious. I look at Jazze Pha, Drumma Boy and DJ Squeeky and figured out that his is it! The music. The actual beats. The beatmakers. The producers from Memphis are actually keeping the scene alive for all Memphis artists right now. I thank them all for that.
Every person who buys the Young Jeezy "The Recession" album is supporting the legendary Orange Mound veteran DJ Squeeky ("Welcome Back"). If you buy any Ciara album, you most definitely will have Jazze Pha on the boards. Three 6's DJ Paul & Juicy "J" ("Stay Together") on Ludacris' upcoming album "Theatre Of The Mind" is also getting heavy rotation.
What about Dem Franchise Boyz and Joe Blow Da' CEO's gold plaque for his production on their cerified-gold "On Top of Our Game"? T-Mix on The Carter II? What about Carlos "Six July" Broady who produced "What's Beef?" and Notorious B.I.G's "Life After Death" and was a member of the legendary Hitmen production team under the reigns of Puff Daddy?
Even Christopher Gholson, better known as Drumma Boy is a shining example with top-billing production on Lil' Scrappy, Gorilla Zoe, Pastor Troy, Blood Raw, Ludacris T.I. and Young Jeezy's number one single "Put On" off of his "Recession" album.
These are the chess moves that will put Memphis "on" in the upcoming years. Drumma Boy and DJ Squeeky WILL get gold and/or platinium plaques this year. This is what the city need. I just hope with the expansion of our homegrown sound that the city will be in the limelight it needs to be in. And just maybe, we will finally get our time.
Checkmate.

THE DAY REPORT: The Misconceptions Of Rap As A BUSINESS
By, Wendy Day (www.Rap-Coalition.com)
What is it about the rap music industry that makes people standing on the sidelines assume they understand how it works? Does it look easy from the outside looking in? Are folks so blinded by watching BET and reading a couple of rap magazines that they actually think they understand the ins and outs enough to pursue this shit as a career?
I agree that it’s easier to get into this industry than it is to play professional ball, or be a rocket scientist for NASA (all that pesky schooling), or to be a brain surgeon (again, more years of schooling and actual experience operating on brains). But it’s not so easy that someone can wake up tomorrow fresh off a job at Burger King, and say “I want to be a rap star,” or my personal favorite: “I am going to manage my boy Bo-Bo’s rap career.”
If it was as easy as going to Kinko’s and pressing up some business cards, don’t you think EVERYONE would be doing that? Oh wait! They are!!
One of the saddest days of my life was the day I realized that Hip-Hop was no longer a culture, no longer a lifestyle choice, but a business. And a very big business it was. People from outside of the culture were co-opting it and making money from it. I knew that this also meant that the day it no longer was profitable, they’d move on like the fair weather friends they were (we’re almost there, by the way). Lyor Cohen wasn’t tagging subway cars, and his pants weren’t sagging, but his decisions controlled the movement of rap music far more than anyone whose pants did sag. There was a trade off though. For the first time in my lifetime, I was able to see young people of color get good paying jobs in the music business. Some even had perceived power. I was able to see artists make money for themselves and feed their families and create their own companies based on their level of fame. And this was a good thing. This was the 90s.
Then 2000 hit and reality shows were everywhere. Billionaire heiresses became famous for doing nothing but sleeping around and getting high or drunk. The behavior of an Old Dirty Bastard type of character was no longer seen as bizarre or pushing the envelope. Hell, Flavor Flav had his own TV show doing that shit in his sleep!
But somehow the mindset was born in all of this that getting into the music industry is easy. No training, no experience, no relationships….just POOF! I’m a manager! Or POOF! I own a record label. Artists seemingly believe it comes down to “getting discovered” by someone at a record label, but in the 16 years that I have been doing this, I can’t think of one scenario where that was the case. Who is telling these kids from OH and TX and Cali that they can just mail in a demo to a major record label in NYC and they will get offered a deal? That has NEVER, EVER, EVER happened!! The labels don’t even listen to unsolicited material. They send it back unopened. There’s even a question in my mind if most of the A and Rs have the time to listen to the stuff they request…
I get hundreds of emails from wanna-be artists each week asking me to get them a record deal. They have no idea what they are asking me, and they have no idea why they are asking me, but somehow I am a perceived gatekeeper stopping or allowing them to live their dreams. A dream they made no effort to research or learn about. I also get a ton of emails from people complaining that their city has more talent than Atlanta, or Miami, or Houston, or Dallas, or whatever city is the flavor of the minute in the music industry. The PERCEPTION is that the labels get together and decide which city or town will be next, and then they all go there. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Sorry to laugh, but that is so funny to me. These industry folks can’t even decide which artist on their own rosters to put out next and here are these kids in, say, Buffalo NY thinking they are getting passed over for their only shot at music success.
The reason certain cities develop their own industry is out of frustration. When enough talent in one place (artists, producers, DJs, etc)—Atlanta, for example, gets frustrated enough to say “Fuck the industry!” and start doing things on their own separate from the industry, and when they begin to make a little noise on their own, the industry comes running to see what’s going on. If the industry feels they can make money off of a new movement, they arrive in droves to co-opt that movement, signing anyone they can get their hands on at the price they are willing to spend. If they don’t think it will lead to massive national sales, they leave as quickly as they came (see the Hyphy Movement in the Bay Area for proof of this phenomenon).
Rap music is a business. It stopped being just an artform, very sadly, in the 90s. The view of the music industry "putting on forgotten cities" is very wrong. An artist, or a city, has to create its own movement to attract the industry. IF the established industry thinks it can pimp it and make some money, it’s a done deal.
Being a non-sports person, I am going to try to make a basketball analogy, so bear with me. I went to a Knick's game in NYC a few years ago. In watching the team play (not so well), I decided that I could do that better than anyone on that team could. I had always loved basketball, so I went home and practiced for years. Every waking moment, I practiced. But the Knicks never called me to come play with them. I live in Atlanta, where I think very few ball players are from (it doesn’t matter if there are a lot of ball players from here or not, no one I know is getting put on by the NBA). We have a ton of talented ball players here just in my neighborhood alone—yet, the Knicks never called me. I practiced every day and knew I was better than anyone on that whole team. I wrote letter after letter to the Knicks telling them to come to Atlanta and watch players play ball, especially me. I even offered to fly some team scouts in at my own expense. No one came. Looks like Atlanta is just a forgotten city in basketball because they didn’t come when I called.
Finally, out of annoyance, I went back to a Knicks game, and when the ball came out of bounds over near where I was sitting, I got out of my floor seats and threw the ball and scored a basket—all net! A very impressive shot. When folks came over to me, I explained that I was a great player and deserved to be on the Knicks. But they laughed at me and were angry that I interrupted the game.
What did I do wrong? Why didn't they sign me up on the spot? Was it because I didn't take the time to learn the BUSINESS of basketball? It was my favorite sport, but once it left the b-ball courts in my town, it became a business when the Knicks name was attached to it. I didn't follow protocol--learning the sport, playing through school, playing through college and standing out, and getting drafted to a team (one in a million shot). I just assumed it was about throwing the ball through the hoop because of my love of the sport. And I assumed if they saw me do it well, that was all that mattered.
Realizing this is a half-assed analogy, I hope you understand what I am trying to say. If you want to do this for a living, learn the rules and protocol. It's NOT just about grabbing a mic or about a scout from a label stumbling into any city outside of NYC to discover talent and putting your city on the map. That couldn't be farther from reality.... And how sad is it that we all understand how the business of basketball works, but we think we can mail a demo to someone at a record label and become the next major superstar

Dumb it down, the sounds of empowerment, and let the blacks bust, kill the environment, unity untrue to me, just read the eulogy, slave minds keep the man blind, keep em underneath, the white man, but really i don't blame the white, we use em as a crutch and when it all goes wrong we blame the whites, excuses, take a stand for your ignorance, read a book, and ya wealth will be more than money, stop looking for a handout, think positive, speak the truth and help ya mans out, we are a stone on each others feet, untie the dead weight and then achieve what you seek, but if you seek nothing, you achieve nothing, and what our anchestor fought for then it means nothing, i dummie down my lyrics and still get neglected, now who's being true to who, No respect for myself, confidence is in the grave, They kept me talking bout money which i never made, I played, flashy lights, imma hip hop star, we only talk about hoes, whips, and buying the bar, stop it, thats so so true, and we embellish on the life style, so untrue, dumb it down for the people, just like u, they will soon dummie down to your equal, cause they invest what you speak, and girls accept the fact that shes a bitch or a freak, what happened, the black queen doesnt exist, and then we sit and talk about why our women aint shit, ............ HIP HOP

Me against me
Life sucks for me, Honestly i dont know what to do. So apparently on the music scene, no-one feels my music, it's like my voice doesnt count. Panic???????? you arent real hip hop, you arent lupe, you arent skewby. Well I do say alot in my music, you just dont understand it or better yet you dont take the time to listen. Hip hop is music from the heart, its all about being you, being creative but coming from me noone wants to hear it so i put out bullshit songs about money, hoes, bling, etc... shit people wanna hear but i gets no respect but if gotti put it out its a hit. Man I do miss my dogs Joe Blowe & Kaiyo, them boys got heat and Kaiyo is a f in beast. Anyways I feel outcasted. I'm so hard on myself its sicknin, I give up easily, Its been months since i wrote a song and when i do start back writing its still not quality in my eyes, the passion might be lost. Friends, how many of us have them???????? i never had any friends coming up, none, thats why i try and find friends and peeps prob like damn nigga but i try and find peeps with a good heart and head on they shoulder. i dont even feel like writing no more, in a shitty ass mood,GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Tuggy
So I've fell off for a min, but I plan on coming back in full force and what better way to come back than with an Blog about my girl K.T. a.k.a. TUGGY
So presenting to you: The TALENTED, THE BEAUTIFUL, THE INTELLIGENT, K.T., I just wanted to blog about how good of a person she is, even if we don't talk it's understood that she's my homie for life. Her spirit is golden and although she's unaware she's an inspiration to me, Like i said in a prev blog on Tumblr, She pushes me to be my best even if she doesnt know it and I do look up to her. She is a very strong person and if she wants something she goes and gets it, she pushes herself to be her best, boy how i wish i had her spirit, kudos, K.T. stay grounded babe, you my friend are definately going very far in life. :)
