Tipsy - J Kwon (2004), is the debut single released through So So Def Recordings & Arista Records as the lead single from the debut studio album, "Hood Hop". Critics found the production catchy but considered the lyrics formulaic. #hiphop #rap #stlouis

In 30 years, you'll be a lonely old man whose kids rarely visit.

Unless you do these 7 things starting TODAY:

1. INVOLVE YOUR KIDS IN YOUR HOBBIES

Leaving every Saturday for 6 hours of golf?

That's not being a dad. That's being absent.

Instead:
• Take them fishing
• Let them "help" in the garage
• Get involved in THEIR hobbies

Hobbies should bring you together, not take you away.

2. PRIORITIZE FAMILY OVER CAREER

Dying with a billion dollars doesn't erase the fact your kids barely know you.

Show up for:
• Games
• Recitals
• Bedtime
• Dinner

Your career will replace you in a month.

Your kids will remember you forever.

3. COMMUNICATE CONSTANTLY

Babies need bonding.
Toddlers need talking.
Kids need chatting.
Preteens need deeper conversations.

They have a million questions. Answer them.

This is your window. When they're teenagers, it closes.

Build the relationship NOW.

4. SPELL LOVE WITH T-I-M-E

Little kids feel loved through time spent together.

Not toys. Not trips. Just YOU being present.

Play. Read. Get on the floor.

They love you automatically right now.

Use this time wisely. It doesn't last forever.

5. EXPERIENCES > STUFF

Kids forget toys within a week.

But they remember:
• Blanket forts
• Water park trips
• Beach days
• Snowball fights
• Trampoline park adventures

Memories last. Possessions don't.

6. LET GO OF THE SMALL STUFF

Stop correcting every little thing:

"Don't touch that."
"Stop doing that."
"Why would you do that?"

All day long.

Let the small stuff go.

Save your energy for what actually matters.

Constant correction kills their spirit.

7. LEARN THEIR LOVE LANGUAGE

Kids feel loved differently:

• Words ("I'm proud of you")
• Time (one-on-one dates)
• Gifts (thoughtful, not expensive)
• Service (helping with homework)
• Touch (hugs, wrestling)

Figure out THEIR language. Then speak it.

Your kids won't stay little forever.

One day they'll be grown with their own families.

How often they visit you will depend on the relationship you built TODAY.

Want them to WANT to be around you?

Prioritize them now.

Or spend your final years alone wondering where it went wrong.

The choice is yours.

#DidYouKnow Most Black inventions originated in the Northeast & Midwest. While the vast majority of Blacks lived in the South between 1870 & 1940. Severe systemic barriers, lack of educational, & Jim Crow meant Northern & Midwestern Black residents were more likely 2 file patents

Will Smith said he wasn’t interested in doing Men in Black until Steven Spielberg sent a helicopter to bring him in for a meeting.

“He said the coldest sh*t. ‘Tell me why you don’t want to make my movie.’ & then he goes, ‘I made Jaws, right? I made E.T.’”
