In rap there is an important factor called the punchline which ties a bar or multiple bars together and gives context to the whole thing.
You can put a bunch of intellectual smart words together but if there's no punchline to tie it all together it has no context.
The โI turn the industry into tora bora line is elite in itโs own senseโ
But how many people even know what tora tora is to begin with?
Not to talk of applying the meaning to the contest of the song
One of the reasons people donโt win rap battles, Iโve seen this happen too many times is you using analogies and metaphors that take people too long to understand, the listeners cannot be one line after you, they have to arrive with you on every line
Femi Lazarus made a very important point here.
The more I learn about money, the more I realize that earning more money is not enough.
You can make good money and still struggle if you donโt understand how money works.
That Rich Dad vs Poor Dad comparison really hits because a lot of our financial habits come from what we were taught growing up.
Sometimes, the real upgrade isnโt just increasing your income.
Itโs changing the way you think about money.
This is a conversation worth having.

Bro to bro- do not try entrepreneurship if you don't have a high tolerance for uncertainty. For long periods of time, you genuinely wonโt know if youโre early, wrong, unlucky, or just stupid. You need to be cheap before you can afford not to be. Because raising money and burning it is easy. Building something people are willing to pay for is hard. You need high self esteem and a low ego and you've to be comfortable being wrong, looking stupid and changing your mind. Most importantly, learn how to lose without becoming a loser. Because youโre going to lose a lot- money, people, deals & time. Just donโt lose your ability to think clearly. And btw, donโt go looking for motivation. It is useless after a while. What you really need is stamina. Both physical & mental.

Now, we work all day, everyday for pay that we spend on food, water, and shelter.
Nothing has changed except the illusion of freedom.
