Guy #4: Mr. “Wanna-be the next Jay-Z”
Back in the day every brotha wanted to be in a singing group like the Jackson 5 or in the band like the Commodores or Earth, Wind & Fire. Now it seems like every guy want to be a rapper!
This guy’s a huge Hip-Hop fan; in fact he’s totally obsessed with it! He listens to Hip-Hop music all day and all night long. He spends much of his time watching Hip-Hop videos. His “breadth” of knowledge centers around anything Hip-Hop related. Homeboy is a “student” of Hip-Hip. He knows who’s hot and who’s not in the rap game. He has studied the background of his favorite rappers, knowing all of the littlest details about them. If Hip-Hop music and culture was a college course he would have a 4.0!
Now he may sound like your average music fan but he’s much more than that. He actually believes that he’s going to be a rap star! How funny it that shit? This fool actually believes that he is going to become rich and famous, rapping on stage and starring in music videos surrounded by half-naked women! Umm..I don’t think so! Homeboy is a big-time dreamer! That’s what he does all day, sits around day-dreaming that he's going to be a big rap star! All he talks about is what’s he’s going to do, where he’s going to go and what he’s going to buy when he becomes a rap star.
He’s always writing rhymes and rapping around the house. At almost anytime you can catch this fool mumbling lyrics of some stupid song he wrote to himself or posing in the mirror pretending that he's at a photo shoot for the Vibe magazine or on the red carpet at the Grammy’s. He may be “solo” or apart of a group which is even worst because then you’ll have to deal with his silly-ass friends hanging around writing rhymes, “rehearsing” and having “pow-wow” sessions about how they’re going to take over the rap game. If he has at least some ambition (and some money) he may spend time “in the studio” and even doing little local shows. But don’t expect any collaborations with Jay-Z or him going on tour with Ludacris anytime soon!
He is a phony, going around trying to walk, talk, dress and act like a rap star. In his mind he is already a rap star and therefore he tries hard (but unsuccessfully) to adopt the lifestyle that he thinks big-time rap stars have. He may be conceited, loud and obnoxious. He may use his self-proclaim status as an up-and-coming rapper to try to get “groupie love” from silly-ass chicks that fall for his act. He plays Mr. Big Shot in front of other guys, especially other wanna-be rappers, making them think that he’s well on his way to stardom.
The bottom line with this guy is that he’s a freakin’ dreamer, a liar who has either very little talent or none at all! He’s the type of guy that can’t hold down a job, often quitting or getting fired and never seem to care because, after all, he’s “going to be a star”! He’s wasting his entire life away convinced that he’s going to be a rap star. It’s just not ever going to happen! Don’t get caught up in his lies and wishful thinking. You and him must face reality. He’s a damn fool and he’s making a fool out of you.
By the way, guys who want to be singers, music producers, CEO of record labels, music video directors, actors….brothas who want to be entertainment stars or businessmen all fall in this category!
The sad thing is that while most guys who fall in this category are in their 20’s, there are far too many brothas well into their 30’s (Lord knows I hope there aren’t any actually in their 40’s!) who still think they’re going to be platinum-selling rap artists! Give me a break!
So, if you’re involved with Mr. “Wanna-be the next Jay-Z” and you think one day you might actually marry this guy....
Girl, don’t do it!!
