The Tatt Era..

Ok no intro needed, what is the deal with people making tattoos so commercial these days? I remember growing up in the 90's when you saw people with tattoos, they kinda stood out. Why? Simply because their tattoos symbolized something unique about that person, it actually fit who they were and it was authentic to their character. Nowadays you could be walking down the street and see some wild shit like a nun with a crip flag & a pistol tatted on their ankle(so you can see with a quick lift of their robe), with the words "Only God Can Judge Me" on their hand smh. You got 15 year olds with "tear tattoos" under their eyes, and the only damn thing they've killed is their character/image when they got that bullshit on their face(Live a suburban kids life, if you grew up in the suburbs)...If you walk the halls of a high school these day's 80% of the students have full sleeve tatts, full of irrelevant, dumb, non symbolic, career killing bullshit, and don't have the slightest clue about what they're gonna do for a profession in the future. Yea, that shit seems cool when your walkin around and these "foggy minded" little girls are giving you all this attention, but what the hell are you gonna do when it's time to get down to "real business". Stop "Living in the moment" all the fuckin time and actually take a second to think about what's important in the long run. You gon' be walkin around with "Wiz Khalifa" tatts, with "James Evans" from "Good Times" money. These young niggas seem to be under the impression that having these tatts make'em look tough or something, when in actuality, "real hood niggas" don't give a fuck about your tattoos and will still try you the same way. YOU'RE NOT SCARING ANYBODY WITH YOUR TATTOOS!! CUT IT OUT!! You got young females gettin' seductive "video vixen"tattoos on their lower back(tryna be sexy) and the dumb ass parents wonder why their daughter's become super head 2.0...All these people got me feeling like a follower and all my tattoos actually have significant meaning, it's ridiculous. Back in the day people got tatts to stand out, now kids made it to where it's something you need to "fit in"..I guarantee you a vast majority of these kids and even niggas in their 20's weren't even thinking about gettin' tatted until a few years ago when this era begun. They just saw everybody else doing it and said to themselves "I don't wanna look like a lame ass nigga/female" and decided to fuck up their body with some meaningless ink..Smh, so sad. Like I said, it's not just the tattoos that's the problem. It's the "quality of the work", "the actual meaning of the tattoo", and the "I'm a follower factor". 100% of niggas who have tatts nowadays have fallen victim to at least one of those. Either they have "bad quality ink".."it really doesn't have significant meaning to them, they just make up some bullshit meaning when people ask about it"..or "they just got tatted because everybody else was doing it and they were tryna look cool"....Niggas/Females are followers these days, and if you say none of those things I just listed apply to you then you lying to yourself homie/girl..There are no more individuals left, just a bunch of tag alongs..just disgusting...I guess Twitter pretty much sums up the times we're living in right now, a world full of fuckin "followers" who are just tryna fit in..Fuck Ya'll!

Indian Or Chief??

When I was working at K Mart a couple years back, I had a supervisor that would act as if she was more than what her job description entailed. Now to make a long story short, just cuz somebody gives you the keys to the fuckin building to let the workers in when they're not around does not mean you are the store manager. Bitch, your mission was to let us in the door so we can do our jobs and get things done, NOT use your limited "I didn't talk to my guidance counselor when I was in school and now im stuck workin at KMart at 56 years old" skills to try and run shit when you're clearly not qualified. Point being, niggas need to learn their roles in life. Not everybody is a leader and not everybody is important when it comes down to it(indians). Way to many niggas out here actin like they Nicky Barnes(chief) when they're not even on the level of the "small local neighborhood" dope dealer. If you wanna be a chief as opposed to an Indian, you have to embody that every day, every minute, every second, with no breaks. It's like this... If your working at a big time radio station as a fuckin janitor and you got homeboys that rap, and you coming home every day tellin'em you gon' get their stuff played on the air, they're thinkin you do some other type of work at the station...No, you're a bum ass janitor working for $10.00/hr and the only time you'll even see the part of the station that plays the music is when your mopping the floor after the work day, soap boy. Nigga how bout you go and tell people the truth "I'm a motha fuckin beast wit some sponges and Mop & Glo"(Be true to yourself nigga!!)..Now there's nothing wrong with bussin suds & shit for a living cuz that's your job and how you make ends meet, but don't put on a front like you the dude in there spinnin' records. You (like the KMart lady) fall into the category of a "failure at life/I'm living from check to check to feed my family" type of person, so live that life and be humble...Before anybody puts on that front, they have to ask themselves two questions..Am I really doing this bullshit that im telling people?? and is it worth getting called out on, when niggas get tired of hearing my bullshit?? Cuz eventually you will be called out on it, and you will feel how "Precious" looks in the process..(remember that 6 we talked about?) Like I said there's nothing wrong with "Indian" status, just don't put yourself in "Chief" nigga shoes cuz you ain't bout that life. All the "chiefs" out there are to busy occupied with something much more important than the bullshit you're lying to your friends about. You sittin' there SAYING "I'm gettin to this money"...They're "gettin to the money"..You're serving niggas "McRibs" at McDonalds..They're "owning the McDonalds and monitoring your work" (if you can call that work)..You're "Smush Parker"..They're "Kobe Bryant"..You're "A member of The Outlaws" and They're "Tupac Shakur"..I think you get the point, so for the moral of this story I'll quote "The Rock".."KNOW YOU ROLE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU FUCKIN JABRONI!!"
