I admire Kanye 9thwonder Pharrell Jdilla & DJ screw. I admire kanye for being himself thru and thru and his artistic views on music also his come up cause he a hustler like me. 9th wonder is a legend sample god I admire him backseat he really be crate digging for them saucy samples & he a college professor so he trinna better the youth that’s hard . Pharrell got his hands in everything music and movies and he was drippin his own sauce before people thought it was cool being himself is what stamped him and that’s what I plan to do. Jdilla just a icon in the sample game donuts is the hardest tape nobody rappin on feel me .

Fasho a struggle my pops and mom came from Mexico Between me and my older brother and sister we was always on the slim side on splurging . My Tee lady ain’t had no car and so she would take the bus to work n pick me up from daycare everyday on time. Then we would walk down telephone where we stayed it be late by then. Pops be getting home late from construction worn out nails purple from him using the hammer all day. My parents went to college and graduated in Mexico but because they ain’t know English that good they were always treated like second class citizens. They would take us out to Almeda Mall when they had time off work but just to look we knew we wasn’t poppin tags in that bitch. My friends would invite me out to the movies n shit but I knew my people ain’t had all that sometimes cuz they had to catch up on bills and get groceries so I’d do some Mexican shit n cut some grass. They would take us to Mexico for the summer to be with our granny but would leave cuz they had to work I had a job in Mexico in the summer cleaning bottles making 100 pesos a day just cuz I knew my people ain’t had it like that . I never had a cell till I was in college only trap phones that I used from them to time. Didn’t go to prom cuz my people ain’t had enough for suits n shit. We would always b at the free clinic at ripleys or of Cullen cuz we fasho never had insurance too
