Takeaway #220 on extremes: inspired by Hell Razah
…Y’all got a deal now you acting bougie.
Ain’t no Soul Food now, you only into sushi…
Hell Razah & Blue Sky Black Death ♦ Better Than Jewelry
Takeaway #220: This cautionary refrain, reminds BPM to not be narrow-minded or live at either end of the spectrum. Extremes or “keeping-it-too-real” can be simply foolish. You don’t need to choose between your soul or selling out. Keep rounded.
Wakey, wakey from Brooklyn to Brixton we got this today… ’cause we live in Brooklyn, baby….
Takeaway #219 on flipping: as inspired by Kia Shine
…I think I rather switch my hustle and flip some real estate.
While Hip-Hop trying to hate, I’mma make some realer K.
I’mma flip a couple houses, make a couple 100 thousands…
Kia Shine ♦ W.O.W.
Takeaway #219: Is the real estate flip an investment, when a kid is calling it an alternative investment to pushing-mixtapes and other hustles? What’s in your portfolio?
On notice from D.O.C.–>
Cause I don’t think it’s funny when you’re messing with my money –
D.O.C. (It’s Funky Enough)
Takeaway #218: on the gross up with Annakin Slayd
…They try to kill me every day in every way
They take forty percent earned from every pay
…I’m living how I want – f@!k a nine to five
I’m alive, I’m alive…
Annakin Slayd ♦ Alive
Takeaway #218: The individual tax rate, makes you want to rethink your equity player status. Perhaps your deal needs some Executive Gross Up, a company loan to purchase equity or deferred compensation. Buffet points out that no one ever refused a dollar because they had to give a quater or two back….but….Gimmee shelter…..
Takeaway #215 hating the new: inspired by Chamillionaire
…Speaking with a purpose but some folks out there be hating.
They be saying that money talks.
I talk but you ain’t relating…
Chamillionaire ♦ You a Dummy
Takeaway #215: Rarely do you receive praise for speaking truth to power or for an innovative idea in the market place. The first inclination is to attack the new good thing…even when it is well funded. Don’t lose heart – the second or third time approaching is often the charm.
Takeaway #224 paranoid good vs. bad: inspired by the beastie boys
…I can’t stand it. I know you planned it.
I’mma gonna set it straight – this Watergate…
What could it be? It’s a mirage.
You’re scheming on a thing, that’s sabotage…
Beastie Boys ♦ Sabotage
Takeaway #224: Paranoia can be good or bad. When it is outward-facing it is healthy. When it is inward facing – it is destructive. When you are paranoid about your enterprise’s competition then you are engaging in healthy paranoia (Read: Only the Paranoid Survive –Andy Grove {Intel}). When you are scheming on your co-worker over office politics you are headed for personal sabotage (Ad Rock).
