Simple question: Do you feel yourself?

"yo how the hell you retire from posting a fuckig blog every other week? how does this keep you from getting money sitting in front a pc for a half hour? im under the impression you think way to highly of yourself, you write good ish dont get me wrong but fall back on that retire shit like you dont love being heard." -Highagain



I'm currently in Atlanta getting ready for the BET Hip Hop Awards. The cool thing about this whole weekend is going to be hitting up the parties, chillin' with beautiful people and seeing a free show.  Not only is this a big deal for me, but it's a big deal for my friends and my family.  I've worked hard.



In response to the comment made (above in bold) by somebody out there in the cyber world...I really don't think that highly of myself...but I do think highly of God's power and what he's given me.  YES PEOPLE, I DIG ME because he's working within me.



Let me make a confession and just keep it real, for all you readers when I say that "Everything that I'm not, Made me Everything that I am."  The way that I dress, the way that I talk, my passion, my drive and whatever else has made me the person that I am, is what got me here.  What you've seen has gotten me positions, opportunities and chances of a lifetime.  I've been called cocky, a lil' full of it, proud...yeah, yeah, yeah and everything else.  I know.  That same evaluation comes from the same people who really don't know me.  I will say that I give all thanks to the Creator for the life I live and for the gifts that he's given me (not only as a writer,) but as a dope human being.  I give God the glory.  If you know me, then you know that.



If you don't know me, then you might think something odd, or evaluate yourself and feel a lil funny in comparison because you don't DIG U.  I know my potential, I know my capabilities and I probably believe in you, more than you believe in yourself.  But I put this on the death of my sister, "I will not lose!"  I will not stop my "Diddy run"untill my mom has a big house, these kids on the street are educated and everything will turn out for the greater good because I believe in my dreams and I believe in God. 



KEEP IN MIND I'VE ONLY BEEN DOING THIS JOURANLISM THING SINCE FEB 07'  I STARTED OFF AS AN INTERN HERE.  I GOT PUT ON FA'REAL IN JUNE 07'AND SINCE THEN I'VE INTERVIEWED PEOPLE THAT I NEVER IMAGINED I WOULD (primo, pete rock, ja rule, 9th, cassidy, q-tip, omillio sparks, mic geronimno, fabolous ,the list goes on).  I'VE RUBBED SHOULDERS WITH PRAS FROM THE FUGEES, SHOOK HANDS WITH PHARELL, TALKED TO COMMON, SPOKE TO QUEST LOVE...WORKED PRESS FOR PARTIES, WORKED DOORS FOR CORNERSTONE PROMOTION, HELPED WITH PHAROAHE MONCH LISTENING PARTY, BEEN IN THE STUDIO WITH KANYE TWICE, juggled school, still working on my degree, bounced from city to city and I'm still here. I'VE PUT MAD PEOPLE ON OR TRIED TO ENHANCE THEIR PRESS COVERAGE AND BROUGHT EXCLUSIVE SHYT FOR DXSTYLE.  I GOT S.A.S. FROM DIPSET TWO CLOTHING SPONSORSHIPS, TOOK RISKS AND SPENT MY LAST DIME ON making it to EVENTS AND SURVIVING IN NYC. I'VE HAD THREE INTERNSHIPS IN COLLEGE, I'VE DONE STUDENT EXCHANGE, INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE, I'VE BEEN A HIPPIE TRAVELING THE COUNTRY DOING GRASSROOTS SHYT...AND TONIGHT I'M WORKING RED CARPET AT JERMAINE DUPRI'S PRE-PARTY. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?   WHAT MORE CAN I DO PEOPLE?!



This might not be nothing to people who are in the industry but I bust my ass... to keep a balanced life, while in school and work toward my dreams.  Oh yeah, keep in mind, I hustle for these interviews, parties and spots.  This isn't magic and nobody gives me sh*t.  HipHopDX has been an outlet for me and my work and I appreciate the readers and the commenters but if I don't dig me, who else will, the blog posters? Nope.  I gotta keep it movin'. Like my dude Isaiah Stokes said, "To a billion and beyond."



So when people ask, "Dominque are you feeling yourself?"  The answer is no, I dig A.H.L.O.T. too much...YOU SHOULD DIG IT TOO.



PEACE!





food for thought, scrape the plate.
