You don't have to be smart. Just be the BEST in the trade you pursue!

(I receive a lot of responses from around the world. Tweet me and let me know where you are from.  Thanks and Enjoy)
    "i have come to realize and i have been told that i'm not the smartest person on earth."


 To Every young one growing up with those people on your back.  Remember you all are smart!!


 You may put forth an effort that scores you an A in English, but you're terrible at math.  English may bring you satisfaction but Science you can't pass.  Your 110% may go into Occupational Education-(OE) class but you don't dig Biology.  Your parents are proud of their young one and gives you $100 for the A you made in that OE class.  They know that's your goal you want to pursue.  They know that's what you're best at.  You have come to realize cooking is your game so that BIG UNIVERSITY is not on your map.  You may say, "Forget college" as you head to trade school.  Then you become the owner of a restaurant and a great cook.


   i'm terrible at English and horrible at math.  Can't stand biology and awful at science.  But history is my thing.  i really enjoy Black History, War History, Biblical History and Slavery History.  Put me in front of A&E, Animal Channel, History Channel, Military Channel, National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel,  Planet Green Channel and MSNBC.  Don't bother me until the power goes out." 


  But when i think about being told, "i'm not the smartest person in the universe", i say to myself, 


  The Greatest goal i've had for 21 years, i accomplished it.  That goal was a record deal.  i've been working on some tracks that i've been asked to put in a movie.  "So i am a smart man in what i do best." 


   Then i got into filming. i've been in film for about 5 years.  Seriously focusing about 2yrs.  Lost focus on my goal in filming but picked it back up in February of this year (2011).  i put those goals back into my hands and within the last 4 months I have produced a film trailer.  it has gotten me a signed deal with an Agency, Producer and a Production Company.  I'm not doing janitorial work or mowing their lawns,  they love the film concepts i have put into their hands.  "i guess that's something else i do best. . . Success."


    "Make sure you don't lose focus in what you want to do.  if you become a garbage truck drive, be the best at it, realizing you are a neccessity.  if you become a scientist, secretary, house maid or a Doctor.  Remember that you are a must.  Let no one pull down your dreams, your goals and your self-esteem.  You also are the best."


  To those who say, "Funk's not smart."  I'm going to have to disagree with you. "Pick up my guitar and show me what an Aadd9 is."  I'm just saying.


 If you see any mistakes you must not have been listening to me, "i'm terrible at English!!!!!"  


   And I'm off the mic. . . 





Much Love, Honor and Respect
