That I'm shallow
And I'm a misogynist
For the record.... I've always identified myself as a Democratic Socialist who was very frugal with his money....
It's even reflected in my hip hop tastes ..Krs One was always a favorite of mine and I read and studied esoteric books and even practiced Sufism for many years...
It was only when I was asked to manage an artist career is when I took on a more capitalist mindstate so that I could bring more revenue to my artists....
And I'll admit it can make you rather insensitive and arrogant at times but that's how you survive in the business world...
you wouldn't believer the amount of people / artists i've assisted on this board the COLI as well as the SOHH forum and offline in the business affairs of thier career
and even in their personal life......
i even paid a dude's rent ...while he caught a charge and was unable to get revenue
gave a flabby n sick female rapper an opportunity to have a radio interview and promote a single ......
only for her to tell me at a function some years back...when i needed a favor from her
"so what have you done for me lately?"
and its led me leave the industry as well as put up a wall at times even though im always open to communication
people seem to get intimidated or cautious in approaching me i noticed...online or offline
But I'm still the same ol G.....you can always holla at me
As for Women...
I never get acknowledged for all the good I do for that gender offline
This past mothers Day I brought 2 dozen red velvet cupcakes for all the Mothers in my department I supervise.....
2 years ago I gave a struggling female gospel artist money for her master CD which she wanted to. Promote... Bought the rights to it... Only to find out just recently SHE DOESNT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE masters... I almost got sued by its original owner...
Bought my ex a car and a computer for her business and all she did was slander me online and complain because she is discontent with herself and bipolar
Just took a young fella out for memorial day weekend whose. Mother is struggling and don't have a father ...
Didn't even get a thank you..
Just a negative text saying ..dont bring him late.. I got work in the morning
just a shame....
never has a man giving so much that has recieved so little
