Anonymous asked: i just read up on mac miller and, i've never listened to him so maybe he is great but i was reading his wiki page and saw that the dude was born in '92, all this random shit - and here i was reading about his life, and i couldn't stop thinking 'well fuck, if this dude made it, why hasn't Krizzy yet' - you're gonna make it big, you're gonna live out this dream, you gotta.
Thank you, whoever you are. I thought about it the other day. I used to HATE on mac miller, I mean seriously hate him. It took time, but finally I came to the conclusion that to be honest, I was just jealous. The kid made it. I mean really MADE it. He blew up. Believe me, for a white rapper, it’s not fun seeing other white rappers blow up lol. I guarantee you even Eminem gets tight about it, like seriously? This motherfucker? They like this motherfucker? But hey, that’s how life works. But I can’t let it stop me. White rappers need to step up to another level. I hope I can fill that void. There needs to be somebody out there lyrically gifted enough to gain respect. Fuck money and fame. I’m talking about credit. I’m talking about being able to stand in a room with Em and Nas and even Jay-z, and say I effectively made my music intelligent and popular, not just likable. There were times I just wanted to quit, and say fuck it, these guys won, I don’t stand a chance. But even in this industry, where there is an overabundance of new music circulating everyday, and new stars rising and falling as quickly as they rose, you never know, you know? And although currently I still believe that mac is highly overrated, not superbly lyrical, pretty simple in those aspects, and raps about the most irrelevant things, I still have respect for the kid. But I want to be more than that. Greater than that. And with people like you who believe in me, and probably support me lol, I’ll make it. My point is, I was jealous of the kid, but I no longer am. There’s no reason to be jealous or hate on anybody. I learned that the hard way. I learned that you are your own person; so don’t get bitter, just get … better. The kid is doing his thing, he worked hard, and not only did he develop his own sound but he also constructed his own style. I see thousands of white kids walking around with snap backs and acting retarded everyday, and when I do, I just think to myself about how bad I want to say to these kids, “hey idiot, I bet mac made you do that huh.” But, if I make it, I hope when people see kids walking around being successful, saying fuck you to the government and their teachers, saying fuck you to the popular kids, saying fuck you to the kids with the silver spoons, just being themselves instead of trying to be someone else, maybe kids will say ‘damn, kraun made you do that huh.’ This is what I was meant to do I guess. This is who I was meant to become. And thanks to people like you, I’m going to work hard, and do this shit right. We only live once, why not spend it doing something you love. Right?
