It doesn't work like that homie.  You are putting the cart before the horse (one of my favorite proverbs).

The reason I've been looking back on past missed opportunities is not because I want to or because I think it's better.  Life forces you to do that when things aren't going well.

Let me use a sports analogy.  Look at the Chiefs right now.  They've consistently been relying on the same staff and personnel and playbook for many years now successfully.  But now that they are not facing success it's forced everyone to question everything.  From what the Owner Clark Hunt is doing, to questioning draft picks, GM moves, money spent, plays being called, etc.

When things are going well and you feel confident about the future then life doesn't force you to look back.  But these are INVOLUNTARY THOUGHTS that come to your mind when you can't sleep at night cause you are suffering with regret and anguish and your mind starts replaying every decision you ever made that brought you to such a dark point in your life.

either you can control your mind or your mind can control you

not saying it's easy .... but those are the 2 options. the former takes more work and discipline, for sure.

video is simple, but the beat is hard!

The reason "The Chronic" never came out Solar/Death Row cause a Judge voided out the releases Suge got Eazy-E to sign, it wasn't til Jimmy and Jerry got together and worked out the deal (Dre Day = Eazy's Pay Day). That's why Deep Cover was pulled from the original promo "Chronic" tape and replaced with Bitches Ain't Shi*. Jimmy's investors didn't want 2pac on Interscope because of all the problems, so Jimmy used Suge and Death Row to keep him under the Interscope umbrella through Death Row. Yes Suge had the ideas but Jimmy was the executioner, this comes straight from Papa G. According to Papa G Jimmy made every single decision at Death Row including singles and promotion, Papa G always told me the Death Row/Interscope meetings were pointless cause all the decisions were already made before Suge stepped in the room. That's why Jimmy hated Papa G and black balled him for bringing this to Suge's attention.

I agree that Jimmy and Interscope were doing a lot.  I just think you took it a bit too far, like for example saying that Suge didn't bring Dre and Pac to Death Row.

...and what do you mean "told me".  You know Papa G personally?  If so, then tell us more. 

looking back at things rarely helps

in facts, it's a faster way to crash out

lord jamar too

Oh man.. yeah of course, thx... how could I forget Lord Jammar.  He's one of the great hip-hop intellectuals/philosophers of all-rhyme. 

Obviously, I don't agree with his take on Eminem.  But Lord Jammar has been one of the only so-called "conscious rappers" that actually spoke out against Coward-19 and then he took it all a step further when he became a Flat Earther a few years ago.  He's done a lot of shows on it, and been invited to the table with some of the most prominent members of the Flat Earth Community like Flat Earth Dave (who is a Jew by the way).

Also, fun fact, he produced Dead Prez first breakthrough album.  Little known accomplishment in his career.

Life has became quite difficult for me since the summer started and so it's made me reflect more on passed missed opportunities these days.

...that's all I know.  It's taken hold way more in the Sports sphere than in the Rap Sphere as far as black culture goes.  Travis Kelce (Chiefs) said with his brother Jason Kelce (Eagles) on his podcast that debating Flat Earth is like one of the biggest locker room debates in every locker room in the league and that like 30% of the league is Flat Earthers.  The big one that was really pushing it for years in the Chiefs locker room was wide receiver Sammy Watkins is a big Flat Earther.

lord jamar too

yeah word.. that's the one you gave me thru the mail!  Funny, that we weren't just sending files back then.  You actually airmailed it!!  Along with that Royce da 5'9" bootleg that was FIRE!   If that Royce bootleg 2001 had been a real album it would go down as easily the best solo album he ever made and a classic.

When I was 18, around the same time we made the fantasy record label at the board and I thought it was a genius idea I wanted to make a business out of.  I destroyed my future and gave some shyster scammer $20,000 dollars for a computer business that failed a month later.  Somehow the account I'd always had for college/future all my life that good ol granny had set up that supposedly had $100,000 dollars in it ended up being $36,000 dollars and $15,000 went to a Camri that I still drive, and somehow by age 21 when I finally—actually—fully got the money into my own possession and out of the account, and out of my dad/grandmother's control there was...

$10,000 dollars left.
