    Haters Gonna Hate.

    I really don’t know what to type or why im even typing this. My phone is about dead and there really isn’t much else for me to do while I wait for my flight at 6:20pm.

    This trip overall, was an eye opening experience to say the least. I understand it’s hard to follow this entry due to the fact that there is a HUGE piece of the puzzle missing. . . . Bare with me.

    If there is anything I’ve learned, is that you can literally make believe your own reality. If you truly believe you are a celebrity or an important person, and you beat this into your own head over a long period of time, there isn’t going to be much that will be able to touch your ego. This weekend I was surrounded by culture, music and SO much more and the only thing everyone I associated myself with seemed to focus on was themselves. So I disassociated myself from them and paid the price.

    For use of a better word, I made an Investment. Though I put in time and effort into something that was taken from me, they will get what they deserve and the payout in the end is going to be HUGE. I’ve got my head up and I’m over the entire situation. One thing I do know is that I can’t thank everyone enough for all of their support in what I do and the brand. In all honesty, What’s art without enthusiasts, fans or people to think, “it’s cool.”

    If I could have foresaw everything that happened and the bull shit that ensued while on my trip to sxsw right when I was invited I still would have came for the experience and the pure knowledge I’ve gained. I would have gladly put up with everything and the big egos just for what I saw with my own eyes.

    If I could paraphrase the feeling I have right now it’d probably be, “haters gonna hate.” If you knew the situation It may make more sense, since you don’t, understand that no matter what you or anyone else does, haters are just as valuable as fans. . . so it makes sense.

    . . . sorta.

    The video will be available soon, make sure you check out the gallery for all of the photos from sxsw including Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar and backstage.

    (Do you ever stand outside and see an airplane and wonder where it’s going, who’s on it and what their story is? I wonder if anyone will see me and wonder if anyone is looking back.)

    Have a great week.
