Looking back at "Life And Def" this morning for inspiration, I rediscovered one of my quotes and how it's more relevant than ever:
"But at this point in my life I have no interest in being a doormat. There are no managers who are unapproachable, who can't be cursed out by their clients. So with SLBG (interchangeable with The Famous Firm) they call me and ask me to do certain things for them. But I get worried that some of our acts who blow up big will start expecting me to suck their d!*ks. That's not happening. A nigga better not yell at me, 'Where's my limo?". I don't care if he got 12 movies on the line for $20 million a movie. If you call me up and ask for advice or to make a couple of phone calls that'll help further your career, that's fine. But that's all. You'll need to find somebody else to follow you around. For instance, I'd love to manage Chris Tucker because I know exactly what to do with him. But am I gonna follow Chris Tucker around? No. Am I gonna make him read a script that he's supposed to read? No. I'm not sucking nobody's d!*k, and ultimately that's what talent management is all about."
My weapon of mass destruction built in the fight against old heads is now complete. GoOldHead.com is a blog site dedicated to spotting old heads in action trying to do young things and/or criticizing progressive people/movements. That's why I'm happy the first post is of Hillary Clinton's defeat. She's old head personified.
Being an old head isn't an age thing. It's a mentality. When you start attacking the youth for not being more like your generation, get stuck in the ways that are obviously not relevant anymore or just are plain old dated: you're an old head. The following pre-80s Babies aren't old heads:
Barack Obama Hugh Hefner Sarah Jessica Parker Charles Barkley (gimmie dem socks!)
EXPANDED THE FIRM TO WASHINGTON DC, LOS ANGELES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
The Firm has reps in all these markets, hence why I'm in LA right now. Shout out to Phella, Sakwe, Aaron and Markus.
GOT A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST IN NEW JERSEY
"Delaying Traffic". What does that really mean? It was a legal u-turn, but I just "made it too slow". So I went in April 28th for my court date. They told me come back May 2nd. And it just slipped my mind. Now they tryna have me do a Pac (see above).
WON MY FANTASY BASKETBALL LEAGUE
I Kobed everyone. Ralph who? Beat him by 2000 points. I Can Make You Second? Exactly where he ended up. Decided not to sign up for Fantasy Baseball. Or my life really would've been over

BUT SPENT MY MONDAY (YESTERDAY) IN CENTRAL BOOKINGS
Who knew that driving with a Criminal Investigation Police Parking Plaque was illegal? They snatched me up right there on Delancey Street. Fresh off the plane from LA. I landed at 9:33pm and in a the back of the detectives car at 11:22pm. Precinct 7 on Broome Street. Internal Affairs pressed me for a name for about 20 minutes. They wanted the cop. Bad. "Last chance, you can get out tonight. It's only possession now but it could turn into a felony". Shrugged by shoulders unknowingly and they sent me off to bookings by 2am.
But I still held the (free) phone down in the bing. Had mad boxes of Frosted Flakes and milks. Then when I switched cells, I used my debit card for collect calls. CO snuck me a Aquafina. Slept on the bench, not the floor. Woke up and my cheese sandwich was still there. Everything was everything. Then they moved me into the cell behind the court.
My lawyer assured me everything was all good. Maybe time served + a fine. The goal is to not get it on my record. A violation at best. 2 hours and another horrible cheese sandwich later, I'm on the court bench.
The chick in front of me was a gangsta's gangsta. 15 years old caught with two fully loaded pistols in a duffel bag at 1am. While her lawyer was arguing she was setup, the girl just stood there smiling the whole time. Smirking uncontrollably. She couldn't believe she was going to walk out of there with having to make a bail. She skipped out the courtroom when the judge gave her a date and curfew. Now it's my turn.
Compared to the teenager, I might as well stole cookies out the cookie jar. "Possession of Stolen Property". $75 fine and gotta come back July 1st. SMH.
All in all I'm happy to be back. Plugged back up to the matrix (and out of jail)
P.S.
The 90's Babies are coming...be very afraid (props to Ferris on the link)
There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.
