Reckless

"I'm outta control bruh!"

Mark Twain once said, “Laws control the lesser man…Right conduct controls the greater one. Buddha broke it down like this, “To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind.” Pookie and Ray Ray nem just kept it real by saying, “If you wanna survive out here playa you better stay in yo lane, cuz boyz will come after you for that foolishness.”

I've sat in the cut for past week before addressing this whole Lil Wayne Miami Heat/Chris Bosh rant from All-Star weekend. Weezy F. went off about the NBA banning him from all events for essentially being reckless. Not only did he act a fool last year during a playoff game in OKC after a kid asked him for a simple autograph and was ejected, he’s had other altercations at Miami Heat games.

Pretty much this dun is upset that Heat players don’t acknowledge him sitting court side and his feelings are hurt because cats like Jay-Z and Drake get tall respect from boyz. So during NBA weekend he not only disses the Heat but tells the crowd that he had sex with Chris Bosh’s wife and then goes on to say that he’s the new Pac.

Now let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! He was definitely accurate in saying that he was the new Pac because this dun is completely out of control. Back in the summer of ’96 I was in the music business and we received the new Tupac single “Hit ‘Em Up” before it was released to radio.

After listening to that joint and hearing him say that he had sex with Biggie’s wife and going on to attack other cats like Mob Deep etc. All the fellas around the table didn’t blink before saying, “He’ll be dead in 6 months!” It took less than 2! Why, because ole boy was completely out of control and no longer cared about what we simply call consequences.

Where I’m from they call that being reckless or suicidal homeboy. He didn’t die because of those comments specifically; he died because he no longer cared about what he was doing. He was essentially driving 100 mph with no brakes, blind folded, talking on his cell with his hands tied behind his back and drunk out of his mind. He was bound to hit something!

See Pac wasn't a gangsta but he got involved with some gangsta business and some gangstas dealt with him. Wayne is that dude right now and when you’re young and famous you can’t see it just like Pac couldn’t see it at 25. However, boyz around him like Baby and Slim that are much older need to be pulling his coat tail to slow down.

You can’t act a fool with boyz out here and expect that everything is gonna be cool even if you apologize. See the players aren't his problem homeboy! It's all the people affiliated with them and that includes all of their boyz and the fans too. Think about how the whole East Coast/West Coast beef popped off cuz two duns were at odds and a whole lot of cats ended up dead as a result of it!  It’s a strange dynamic but it’s real. Some duns have nothing else better to do than to rep Miami and you just dissed everything they love!

That's real talk and it may not make sense to boyz on the outside looking in but when you diss somebody you diss everything they represent and everybody ridin' with 'em!  Going to jail for some cats is better than being on the streets.  So to be reckless is to be dangerous and even Buddha knew that more than 2,000 years ago pimpin'!

I just hope that Weezy can slow down before he steps to the wrong cat like Pac did in Vegas that night and put in motion a chain of events that he can’t stop. Just because you’re famous doesn’t give you permission to put on the clown shoes and come at boyz side ways because the street rules of retaliation still apply.

Wayne’s got too much talent whether you like his flow or not to throw it all away on some foolishness. So I hope he figures it out before it's too late. But like Jay-Z said in the blazin' hot joint, Lost One, “Fame is the worse drug known to man!” and some cats just can’t handle it.

Holla At Ya Boy!
