A College Degree Does Not Equal Success

As a child I was told that if you want to be successful in America you need a college education. This seemed to be the case when I was seven or eight, but as I got older I noticed that most successful people making it, did not have to go through college. What do Bill Gates, Sean John Combs, Steve Wozniak and Russell Simmons all have in common? They didn’t need college. In my mind, I didn’t need College to have a career, I felt experience could teach me much more than college could. Not everybody is built the same; some do need college to guide them through their choice in a career. I happen to know what I had wanted to do early in my teen years.

      By the time I made it to high school my mind was set that I didn’t want to go to college. The courses I wanted to study weren’t even on the list at most colleges, so I had to learn on my own. Lucky for me, I don’t have to have a bachelors in audio engineering to be successful at it. The end of high school I did find a vocational school that taught courses in my field of interest and I decided to at least give that a chance. It was the first time I saw something that interested me that had to do with school. It wasn’t the traditional learning process, I was going to school for the skill I wanted to learn. I didn’t have to take a number of courses I didn’t need in order to have a degree. I was only getting a certificate so school was more like job training. I had already been doing audio engineering a few years before school so I didn’t learn much at first but there were many things I didn’t know and made me a better engineer in the process.

      Combining school with experience worked out for me better than I could have expected. As if I was walking around with bad vision and school was like glasses that allowed me to see things much clearer than before. It reminded me of Malcolm X prison stories, where he taught himself to read the dictionary to understand more complex words. With self-motivation he pushed himself harder than any school with in means could push him. It’s not the college degree that is going to make you successful, it’s the work you put in after that degree that will set you apart. School gave me a better technical understanding in my field, which made me better in my career. After school I continued in audio engineering and one of my dreams was to build my own studio. I thought once I’ve built my dream studio that I was going to be satisfied but that wasn’t the case. You can’t stop dreaming just because you fulfilled a dream, you must continue to dream and dream big.

How Hitler Reacted To Apple Macbook Having No Ports

Apple Has Lost Their Innovation Edge.

   

     Apple is no longer the game changer that were used to having, they have become slaves to the shareholders. One of the main reasons that I used Mac was because it was a workhorse of a machine. With the new production of the new MacBook it is clear and evident that Mac is catering to the masses. Once Steve Jobs died so did innovation, all Mac is doing these days is keeping up with trends. The new MacBook to me just represents maximize profits, you can't tell me that a logic board the size of an iPhone is going to be strong enough to handle tough workloads. I for one am not impressed with the new Mac nor will I recommend to anybody. I like options and apparently Mac is not giving you any  with this new MacBook.  it's not even better than the Air, you might as well just call it a mac Internet PC.

The Literacy in Rap

        As a child, reading was never my strong point.   It was always difficult for me to read at a pace that was exciting to me, that is until I discovered the art of rap.  Becoming a rapper would As a child and teen, I barely read a book and when I did read, I found myself spending more time trying to understand what I was reading than enjoying what I read through visualization.  In High School I always found myself trying to escape my English classes by any means necessary.  It wasn’t until I started to pick up a pen and write my own lyrics, that I would start to realize that I could not keep running away from words.  Around this same time of trying to discover myself and my future endeavor, I began to read and study the Quran as my curiosity had me also wanting to learn more about the Nation of Islam.  Little did I know, this would help me to build my vocabulary and help to strengthen my reading skills.

As my knowledge of the Quran grew, so did my vocabulary. I found myself being awakened to my surroundings more, affecting the way in which I viewed things.  It would eventually began to show in my lyrics and flow.   I went from rapping and talking about material things and money to the inequality in our justice system for minorities and life in the ghetto, the life I had witnessed through my own eyes and others.  Some may have considered it preaching, but 

I wanted to use my rap to teach.  I wanted to teach and share what I was learning to the world, but once again I still found myself struggling, struggling to write my own lyrics, and struggling to share my lyrics aloud.  It seemed like all the previous years of dodging English class or reading continued to haunt me.  I had trouble getting my message across through my words and lyrics.   

       Like Public Enemy screaming “Fight the Power” or Brand Nubian’s “Slow Down”,

their music had a clear message to their songs that I tried mimicking in mine.  It seemed like it would be so easy to emulate their writing style.  I just knew that the rap game would be my calling, but it wasn’t.    The hardest thing about rapping for me was starting out the beginning of a sentence or even just a phrase. As much as I tried not to I always found myself using the word I, I this or I that.  I wasn’t even doing it purposely, but forming sentences was just not my strong suit.  I found describing things in word and on paper to be very complex and complicated.  My verses had no creativity, no imagination.  I hated listening to my playbacks.  Because of my lack of reading skills and verbalization, I found my rap verses and stories being limited to what I could talk about.  I even hoped that my Spanish classes in high school would pay off and help inculcate this into my rap as well.  I found myself struggling there as well.  What was supposed to be my primary language now turned to my second language, which was somewhat disappointing to me, as I had trouble with Spanish literacy as well.  

It was after a few of  the most embarrassing moments that I knew I wasn't cut out to be a rapper, as being true to oneself as an artist is part of one’s expression.  I didn’t want to rap about someone else’s story but I wanted to be able to tell mine. Never again will I underestimate a talent in spoken word or real poetry because a true MC will and can rhyme freestyle without a pen or a pad, or a rhyming dictionary, or a thesaurus, and that wasn’t me.   

  Even though the rap path didn’t work out for me, my passion and love for music continued to remain, and it would be channeled in different forms. I started to perfect my visualization skills developing  a love and passion for being behind the scenes, being the person that helped to complete the concept and for the last 20 years I have worked continuously and passionately within the worlds of  photography, videography, recording engineering, directing, and music and video editing.   Growing up my mom always told me, “It doesn’t matter what you do when you grow up, just do your best at it”, and that’s exactly what I am doing.
