kanye celebrates his victory at the GQ party...

read the details of kanye performing, diddy challengin some ladies to a "scent off" and cindy crawford asking 50 cent not to retire.

before i say anything, let me assure everyone that this will be the last post re: kanye west and his new album (i'm not trying to jock the dude that hard). all i want to say is that, there is only ONE way to succeed in any field. YOU JUST GOTTA CARE MORE than the rest of the folks in your profession. jay-z talks about how they have like 75 versions of "stronger" and 16 different mixes of "good life." when an artist (like kanye) cares SO MUCH about their own project you can't help but appreciate his effort (and give him a pass on the tantrums).

kanye's always rapped and screamed about him just workin his ass off since he can remember (doin 3 beats a day for 3 summers, anyone?) and in the article above, he talks about the frustration he dealt with when he couldn't make the basketball team despite practicing all summer. he's also got a line ("champion") in the new new album where he says "for me, giving up is way harder than trying."

whether you like his personality, style or even music, you gotta tip your hat off to a man that talks his shit and backs it up. he's not the smartest dude, most talented or stylish for that matter, BUT he's definitely working harder than the rest.

ever since i was a kid, i hated when my friends or others said "i don't care." or "i don't care that much about it." well those same fools are still wondering why some become successful while they're scratchin their own ass. fuck your excuses n learn to make some sacfrice...... when people say that they don't care about something (or anything for matter) it just means that they're too scared or lazy to even TRY. fuck 'em.

so big ups to many friends/collegues of mine who follow their dream/aspirations and work their asses off knowing that success isn't guaranteed but they do it anyway. you're already half way there...
