Keepin it "REAL"

This is just how I feel on this subject:

Dave Chapelle said it best when..."Keepin' it REAL goes wrong". Being "real" is one of those relative things (for u slow folks I'm not talking about your family but I mean in relation to.... Step your vocabulary game up) it depends on what your reality is. It kills me, somewhere in the back of my black heart, when people say that someone isn't or isn't keeping it "real". What's REAL to me may not be real to u. Working a steady, honest job. Handling your responsibilities. Living by a code of values and morals. That is a reality of parents to me. Now some have parents that don't care at all. My REAL isn't real to them and their REAL isn't real to me. Its all worlds apart. Plies is a REAL nigga and 50Cent is a REAL nigga and JAY Z is a REAL nigga. What makes them real??? Is it all of their ties to the drug trade and their rap status. the fact that they have a "background" and multiple cars??? No I applaud their money making ability but all that aside when stripped of all the "accessories" what makes someone real. If I tried to portray someone else's REAL or if they tried to live mine, there could potentially be serious consequences for keeping it REAL... Like I said real is relative to your situation. Keep it REAL with your reality and your reality will keep it REAL with you

Dictator AY!
