Daily Word: Get Laser Focused!!

Happy Tuesday, my destined and determined!

Welcome to the day you zero in on your target and focus on what you deserve! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to having tunnel vision! Imagine a heart surgeon having a side hustle! Imagine that instead of practicing his craft, he put his energy somewhere else! Or, imagine a lawyer who took a big case, only working on it during business hours! Or, a boxer training for a prize fight, only training for a few hours a day!

The point of these examples is that if you want to succeed at anything, it will take a great degree of practice and focus! Michael Jordan wasn’t Michael Jordan because he had the best abilities… Michael was Michael because he was focused and determined on his craft! As others took days off, he was out practicing! When others gave up, he kept going!

The true key to success is to figure out what you want to do, then do it intensely! Not sometimes, Not when circumstances permit, and certainly not only on the weekends! Make sure that you are staying laser-focused on your craft, and give everything in your power to be the best at what you do! It’s alright to have multiple goals, but make sure you have mastered one before going off to the next! It’s better and more productive to give 100% to one thing, than 20% to five! Stay focused, Stay positive, Stay determined and the World will be Yours!!! NOTHING CAN STOP YOU BUT YOU!!!

EXCLUSIVE: G.O.O.D. Girl Teyana Taylor Co-Signs “Cruel Winter”

(AllHipHop News) Riding high on the success of Cruel Summer, G.O.O.D. Music’s Teyana Taylor is currently in Atlanta shooting her third movie, The Start-Up.

The film, which will air on BET, is also a pilot for a forthcoming show on the network produced by the wildly-successful Salim and Mara Brock-Akil, the writer/producers behind “The Game”. The Start-Up stars Diggy Simmons as a lifestyle blogger, with Taylor portraying the twin sister of his best friend.

In a brief interview with Taylor about the film, she co-signed the Cruel Winter rumor sparked by Q-Tip on the red carpet at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, saying, “Well, I mean, Q-Tip don’t lie. If it’s been a Cruel Summer, it’s definitely gonna be a cruel, Cruel Winter. But you ain’t hear that from me.”

With three features on the crew’s recent release, Taylor also gushed about the success of the album.

“We came second to Pink, and that was her huge comeback. Number one on the Hip-Hop charts. So I’m very, very excited about that, and excited to have as many placements on there that I do. I’m very excited and blessed and thankful.”

In the meantime, Taylor is finishing her own debut album for G.O.O.D. Music.

“I’m turning in my album in January, so hopefully we can get something (a release date) a little after January,” she forecasted.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Obama Ether Gucci Mane!?!

“Gucci, I had to do it.”

There have been so many Gucci Mane rumors on the site that I haven’t been able to get a rumor in edge-wise. But, last week was the presidential debate where Obama leveled the playing field against Rommey. Some say he ethered the Mormon, but lets just say its equal for now. Well, I heard that somebody was a casualty of war on that great, presidential battle.

I heard that very night, Gucci Mane had a listening session for his new album, which I believe is called Trap God. Anyway, I was told that the crowd was very sparse and people simply didn’t show up.

Now, the real question is: did the hood (Atlanta music elite) go to see the debate or did they just not come out to support Gucci Mane?

Here are some of the recent rumors around Gucci Mane!

Hip-Hop Rumors: So Called “Fan” Goes Off On Chris Brown; Did Breezy Retaliate With Gay Slur?

Fans are people who are suppose to like you, right? Well, this so called “fan” went off on Chris Brown calling him a “wife beater” after Brown refused to sign his CD. Their paths collided at the Arclight theater in Hollywood after watching a movie. The “fan”, who tells his entire story to Radar Online….for some chips most likely; says that Brown called him a gay slur which set him off.

“The movie let out and I saw Chris come out the front door, sort of semi-running. I approached Chris and asked him to sign my CD cover.”

“His bodyguard stopped me and said Chris wouldn’t be signing, so I told him Rihanna signs all the time. That’s when Chris stopped in the garage by the parking pay stand and yelled ‘f***ot’ at me.”

This is not the first time Chris has been accused of using a homophobic slur. The fan then went on to do the ultimate disrespect you can do to Chris Brown – he brought up the Rihanna incident.

“I walked over to where Chris was getting in the elevator and called him a wife beater and asked him if he was going to beat Rihanna again.”

Man, these “fans” are crazy, but Chris Brown needs to refrain from using those slurs, if it is true. That’s not a good look.

Tonight: T.I. Debuts New Music At SoHo Apple Store

(AllHipHop News) Tonight, T.I. will unveil new music at scheduled interview at the SoHo Apple Store in New York as a part of its “Meet The Musician” series. The event starts tonight at 8pm EST, but early arrival is encouraged to gain entry.

T.I. will preview his new album, Trouble Man, by offering listeners a sneak peak at some of the songs on the opus.

Trouble Man, T.I.’s eight studio album, is slated for a December release date.

In addition to his music, T.I. is expected to discuss his acting career, his Grand Hustle Records, family life and how he has transitioned into a full-fledged business man.

Attendees will need to have a wristband to get in and they are available at the store. Click here for details Apple.com/soho

In an interview with Power 105, the rapper suggested Trouble Man could be his last album.

“It was at one time, this music was about speaking to the people who felt like you feel. Now, the people I’m speaking to, they don’t necessarily feel like how I feel. In my day, if you were rapping about something you weren’t really living, that was a strike against you,” the Grand Hustle General said to the Breakfast Club of Power 105. “You were held accountable. Nowadays, nobody even expects you to live up to the things you rap about. That goes against what I represent, what I stand for. So if they outsell me, then that’s just all the more better for me to fade to the back and cross my legs on my desk.”

T.I. has reportedly recorded 86 songs for the album and has been whittling them down to a cohesive album.

The conversation will be hosted by Chuck Creekmur, the co-founder of AllHipHop.com, who also hosted a recent conversation with Kendrick Lamar. Click here to view “Meet The Musician: Kendrick Lamar.”
