1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: up to sight See? You're listening to the Daily Game, 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from a legendary homie from 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He's a jeweler to the stars, grew up 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: in South central Los Angeles, one of my Korean homeboys. 8 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: But he's definitely gangster ben Baller. He says, nowadays, people 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: are more concerned with looking successful than actually working to 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: be successful. Once again, the curse of social media. You 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: in the picture you got the Gucci belt. One day 12 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: I was talking to people around and saying, why these 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: brothers sag solo? Why did they sag they pants solo? 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: And a youngster told me so we could see the belt, 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: the Gucci belt or whatever Basachi belt. The T shirt 16 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: hangs to a certain level to show the belt. I 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: have to wear my pants that low. I'm like you 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: are that concern about flosson. We are so concerned right 19 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: now with looking the part versus being the part. 20 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: Now there's a theory out there. 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: It's somebody's pushing, which is faked till you'll make it. 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: I disagree. 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: I always did say you keep your front up, your 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: back will be okay. 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: I have nothing wrong with looking good. 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: You never want to look bad because say you need help, Well, 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: if you come to me looking bad bad, I might 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 1: think you'll never be back on your feet. So whatever 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: I help you with, you'll never repay it. If you 30 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: look good, I might be like, okay, this is just 31 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: a minute, he'll be right back. So there's two ways 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: of looking at this. So I don't have nothing wrong 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: with trying to look good. I think we all should 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: look good, you know, as possible. But fake it till 35 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: you make it. That pushes the line that's like lying. 36 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: Faking to me means really really lying, saying you own 37 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: record labels, saying this, saying that, taking pictures with people 38 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: and claiming you know them in all that kind of way. 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: Because even if you finagle yourself into a position, you're 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: not going to be able to come with the goods. 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: You still have to have the goods. They're gonna find 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: that you're a fraud at some point. So I'm split 43 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: on that theory of faking it till you make it. 44 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: I say, look good at all costs. Nobody wants to 45 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: believe in somebody doesn't carry they self with a little 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: bit of dignity and a little bit of class. 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: But fake it till you make it. 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: And now people are so concerned with looking successful they 49 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: don't even care if they're broke. They don't even care 50 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: if they're actually being successful. A player told me one time, 51 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: he said, ice squares run the world. He said, we 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: spend so much time trying to look fly and be 53 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: fly that we not handling the business. And then the 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: square guy that you thought couldn't dress or whatever, he's 55 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: in school and he graduates and he gets the big job, 56 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: and now he just passes in the Lamborghini paid for 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: and more money coming every month, while we over here 58 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: concentrating on looking fly, looking successful, but not being successful. 59 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: I say, work hard. 60 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: So it can be real, you know, so you can 61 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: make it and you can stop faking it. 62 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: Here's the big problem. 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: Once people get master faking it, they tend to never stop, 64 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: and they never stop faking it even when they get 65 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: some money. They are continuously being fake. And that's a 66 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: pathetic life.
