In an industry like hip-hop production and urban music, image and reputation is everything. Most people in this industry (or that want to get in it) have a desire to be admired, or looked up to. The main problem with the previous sentence and mentality is that most want it for the wrong reason. It requires legitimate effort to be top-dog and for it to count in peoples minds. Presenting yourself to be something you aren't is a foolish way to gain a following. So many artist mindlessly speak and sing about things simply to "fit in" and its really lame. In my feild of producing most try their best to make themselves seem major when they are minor at best. People can tell real from fake your best bet is to be yourself...work hard and things will come to you. You won't have to front like the rest once you play hard and earn some ground in your endeavors. Don't rush and "want" for things... Work FOR them instead. Truth is, by the time you reach your goals the same people who were fronting and lying to boost their image will still be doing the same routine.....you don't want to taint your success by having history as being a fake. It's not worth it...#Realtalk
