$1.2 Million Mansions.... Guy Code... and the NBA

Bizzack!!

I hope everyone found my earlier speech today uplifting and motivational. I just wanna motivate the world in harsh times.

So we're back at it! And the first thing I wanna talk about is how the feds raided a couple who were claiming public assistance while living in  $1.3 million dollar home!!... Word... So y'all was just living of the government. It's cool.... Most people doing the same too... Just not living in a million dollar waterfront mansion (Someone is playing the game wrong huh?!). But here's the kicker.... They've been doing it since 2003! So the government been cutting them checks for a lil over $1,200 a month for rent, on top of them receiving benefits from social security, on top of them receiving food stamps! Now in all actuality; they did nothing illegal! The owner was truthful about her address when filing for public assistance, but the system only based the compensation on how much you make as well.... not where you live. BUT...... lol... Her husband is a chiropractor (here's where it gets interesting); so what they did was to say that the woman rents the house from her husband (smart sh!t).

(ever wonder why you see Jews in the welfare office??..... no offense... But you do the math on how they own Williamsburg, BK)....... Am I My Brother's Keeper!

SO THE NBA IS BACK!!!.... and I'm proud of Bron-Bron!! Admitting that he f*cked up.... Hopefully he gets back on the good foot with his fans...... 6 games on Christmas!!!

Now.... I had to say that the show "Guy Code" is definitely a hit. A lot of you fellas are f*cking it up for us real dudes..... Or making us look good too.. I dunno. One way or another... This show states how somethings need to stop with the guys!! But I had to shout out to the homie Vann (twitter @MrEstradaN) for this #GuyCode of the day.... "A man should never touch another man's earlobe"... I'll say this..... Let another dude touch my ear!!

That's it for today..... Check y'all Friday again at 8pm!!

When the going gets tough.....

OK.....

So I'm not gonna speak on any Gifted news or any current events..... nah!

Today it's all about you guys!!

I know sh!t gets tough in this cruel world... But one thing I was told that;

"If success was easy... Everyone would be successful"

This is the realest statement I've ever heard!! But the world is real.... VERY REAL! I've come to realize that we all need some words of wisdom to get us thru these hard times. Some of you young entrepreneurs trying to better your lives all while working a 9-5 to provide.... I know... It gets tedious! Young single-parent homes... Yea... I see you trying to be mommy and daddy; just trying to be the best parent you can be for your child(ren). Feeling overwhelmed and it's hard trying to keep your composure? Yea... I see you trying to keep ya head up! We're living in a world where everyone is trying to make a great legacy for themselves. But these decisions that you make also come with choices that have to be made. Some will be easy... but most will be hard. But know that there is always some light at the end of the tunnel.

Just Keep Grinding! One day... All of your hard work WILL pay off!

Bustin' ya @ss at work..... Keep an eye out for that promotion you've been trying to obtain.

Gotta cook, clean, teach ya son how to stand up for himself and be a man. Take your daughter to get her hair and nails done....... Keep an eye out for that future doctor or lawyer sitting in your kitchen eating dinner!

Endless days and night pushing your business... Making people believe in you and support what you feel so passionate about......... Keep an eye out for that large pay-out that you've been working towards for years now.

One thing I've learned about success; It does not come over night. Sometimes after you plant the seed, the only way for you to have a beautiful tree is you gotta take care of it... love it... and be patient. Now watch the fruits of your labor finally become a reality.

It's hard...... But it was said.... "If you're at your very bottom... only way is up from here"

It's been a great pleasure bonding with the people who actually appreciate me. I will continue bringing the GIFT that keep on giving! (pun intended)

See ya at 8pm tonight!
