Is Trick Trick's Decision to Stop Rick Ross From Performing in Detroit a Wise One?

So, 41 year old Detroit rapper, Trick Trick stopped Rick Ross from performing in Detroit some days ago, because he feels Ross didn't comply by his 'No Fly Zone' rules. He locked the gates to the venue, and with his 100 local goons, blocked Ross's tour bus from getting anywhere near the venue. I thought the No Fly Zone thing was about artist paying him a fee before performing in Detroit (Trick Trick is the unofficial Mayor of Detroit), but he has said that it ain't about the money. Read his words below. 








"I move how I move because I stand for something. My no fly zone ain't about taking nobody's money. I don't want your motherf*cking money, nobody. What the f*ck I look like? Telling somebody you got to me pay me to come to my town. Don't you think I would have been in f*cking prison if that what was going on? And as far as the incident the other day, you see what the f*ck the police said; no arrests were made, so what the f*ck did I do wrong?" (WSHH)









So, if his No Fly Zone is not about money, it must be about only allowing people he is cool with perform in the city. Or maybe allowing people who pay him due respect; this is even funnier. Cos, this doesn't seem like a wise move; it sounds like a childish move. Okay, you believe Ross is fake, that's fine. But, you have to know that a certain amount of people in your city have already paid for tickets to see that fake rapper, and their choice should be respected. Also, the promoters had already paid for the venue, and Ross's performance fee. He showed up at the venue, and you and your goons blocked his way. This might put a dent in Ross's image, and satisfy Trick Trick's ego, but Ross already got paid, and he can't return the money since he showed up at the venue, and the promoters didn't do their part of the work in securing the venue.





The way I see it, Detroit is losing money with the No Fly Zone. It still amazes me how 40 year old black men can keep hanging on to these gang related ways, and believe it is forward moving. And black people complain about racism. How do you want other races to respect you when this is what you support. A 41 year old MAN, still behaving like a teenager. How can we be taken seriously?

Big Sean Speaks On Using 'Law Of Attraction" To Achieve Goals

I'm a big fan of the Law Of Attraction, and the number of rappers that say they used this to achieve their goals is really inspiring... from Kanye West, to Rick Ross, to Drake, to Soulja Boy, and now Big Sean is speaking about how he used the Law Of Attraction to attain the current level of success he has. In a recent interview with radio presenters, at Philly's Hot 107.9, Big Sean said...





"I want to be somebody who inspires good times, good memories [and] inspires people to do better. It’s crazy because coming from a place like Detroit, we always saw on the TV people being superstars, lawyers or doctor, but it was never all the way real to us especially where I was from. So I just want to show people it’s strictly real. I’m somebody who believes in the law of attraction and creating everything you want and manifesting in all your goals so I just want to show people, how real that it is. I [visualized] the car I wanted and got the car I wanted. I thought of the house I wanted and got the house I wanted. I thought of everything I wanted for my parents and did it. Now I’ve got to set new goals. So I just want to show people that that’s real and just keep it going. That’s what I want my legacy to be, I want to look back and let people know that you shouldn’t look back saying you wish you coulda, shoulda or coulda."



I recently watched a youtube video from 1997, of Jim Carey at the Oprah Show, speaking about how he always visualized himself being a superstar actor when he was broke. He said he wrote a check of $10,000,000 to himself dated for 1995, in 1990. He said he had it in his wallet, and would look at it every now and then for those 5 years, till he eventually made $10 million off his role in the movie, Dumb & Dumber in 1994. Whatever you visualize, materializes.
