Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to sight See? You're listening to the Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from a legendary homie from
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He's a jeweler to the stars, grew up
Speaker 1: in South central Los Angeles, one of my Korean homeboys.
Speaker 1: But he's definitely gangster ben Baller. He says, nowadays, people
Speaker 1: are more concerned with looking successful than actually working to
Speaker 1: be successful. Once again, the curse of social media. You
Speaker 1: in the picture you got the Gucci belt. One day
Speaker 1: I was talking to people around and saying, why these
Speaker 1: brothers sag solo? Why did they sag they pants solo?
Speaker 1: And a youngster told me so we could see the belt,
Speaker 1: the Gucci belt or whatever Basachi belt. The T shirt
Speaker 1: hangs to a certain level to show the belt. I
Speaker 1: have to wear my pants that low. I'm like you
Speaker 1: are that concern about flosson. We are so concerned right
Speaker 1: now with looking the part versus being the part.
Speaker 2: Now there's a theory out there.
Speaker 1: It's somebody's pushing, which is faked till you'll make it.
Speaker 2: I disagree.
Speaker 1: I always did say you keep your front up, your
Speaker 1: back will be okay.
Speaker 2: I have nothing wrong with looking good.
Speaker 1: You never want to look bad because say you need help, Well,
Speaker 1: if you come to me looking bad bad, I might
Speaker 1: think you'll never be back on your feet. So whatever
Speaker 1: I help you with, you'll never repay it. If you
Speaker 1: look good, I might be like, okay, this is just
Speaker 1: a minute, he'll be right back. So there's two ways
Speaker 1: of looking at this. So I don't have nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with trying to look good. I think we all should
Speaker 1: look good, you know, as possible. But fake it till
Speaker 1: you make it. That pushes the line that's like lying.
Speaker 1: Faking to me means really really lying, saying you own
Speaker 1: record labels, saying this, saying that, taking pictures with people
Speaker 1: and claiming you know them in all that kind of way.
Speaker 1: Because even if you finagle yourself into a position, you're
Speaker 1: not going to be able to come with the goods.
Speaker 1: You still have to have the goods. They're gonna find
Speaker 1: that you're a fraud at some point. So I'm split
Speaker 1: on that theory of faking it till you make it.
Speaker 1: I say, look good at all costs. Nobody wants to
Speaker 1: believe in somebody doesn't carry they self with a little
Speaker 1: bit of dignity and a little bit of class.
Speaker 2: But fake it till you make it.
Speaker 1: And now people are so concerned with looking successful they
Speaker 1: don't even care if they're broke. They don't even care
Speaker 1: if they're actually being successful. A player told me one time,
Speaker 1: he said, ice squares run the world. He said, we
Speaker 1: spend so much time trying to look fly and be
Speaker 1: fly that we not handling the business. And then the
Speaker 1: square guy that you thought couldn't dress or whatever, he's
Speaker 1: in school and he graduates and he gets the big job,
Speaker 1: and now he just passes in the Lamborghini paid for
Speaker 1: and more money coming every month, while we over here
Speaker 1: concentrating on looking fly, looking successful, but not being successful.
Speaker 2: I say, work hard.
Speaker 1: So it can be real, you know, so you can
Speaker 1: make it and you can stop faking it.
Speaker 2: Here's the big problem.
Speaker 1: Once people get master faking it, they tend to never stop,
Speaker 1: and they never stop faking it even when they get
Speaker 1: some money. They are continuously being fake. And that's a
Speaker 1: pathetic life. This has been another ice colde fact from
Speaker 1: me iced Tea, listening again tomorrow when I drop some
Speaker 1: wisdom on your ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and remember what's on the inside always has to be
Speaker 1: more important than what's on the outside.
