Great Video as always. So I don't know if music was a big inspiration to you growing up but it is for me. I'm a quiet type of person and everybody in all my classes know that. I don't get bullied or anything like that but sometimes people in class say something stupid to me and most of the time I do brush it off and keep doing work. But when I don't well you know its either an argument or a fight which I don't like doing. Sorry for the sidetracking but lets get to the point, I use music to calm me down and to get me in the mood of any situation I want. I also use it to escape from life and let my imagination flow. So my question to you is was music a big part of your life growing up and/or is it a big part of your life now?

Although Brandon Cooks is one of my favorite players, I just hate that his mentality is that, when you don't have a dad in the house hold, he feels that a young kid needs to step up and be the man that your mom wants in her life.

My thing with the black community, most women are so Irresponsible at picking the right father, they raise the son and teach him feminine ways and expect the son to play the man in their lives

When the son shouldn't have to take on adult responsibilities, that is not a kids job to do a parent job

That's why you see so many black young men so effeminated because of them being raised by momma

And they think it's their job to take care of the mom instead of mom taking care of them, and having a dad in the son life

But Cooks father died, but it's never a childs duty to have to take on adult responsibilities
