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 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Up Sise team, You're listening to? The Daily Game a

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Today's quote is more of an observation and one that's

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: ridiculous in my opinion. The same people that say fake

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: it till you make it say keep it real. Let

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: that sink in. Let's break both these statements down. Fake

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: it till you make it? What does that really mean?

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: Does that mean dress the part that you want to play?

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: Do that mean look good when you're going into an interview.

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call that faking it. I mean I would

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: call that presenting yourself correctly. Do you walk around and

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: you tell people that you are somebody you're not, Will

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: that get you through the doors. I mean, it's been

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: proven that that can work the problem with faking it

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: till you make it is motherfuckers get so good at

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: that that they never stop faking it and they never

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: make it. That becomes the occupation just faking it. They

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: receive rewards for faking it. They become impostors, but they

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: never make it because they're too good at faking it.

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: They end up liking faking it. Until you're really willing

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: to be honest with your position, you're not gonna be

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: able to make it. You're gonna have to be honest

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: with somebody if you're walking up to me like, Yo,

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: I got all these jewels on, blah blah blah, I'm

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: this big rapper. Okay, well then I'm not gonna help you.

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to say, really, yo, this jewels fake

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I'm just trying to make it,

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: but you've already showed me you're a liar. It's a

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: difficult one, So fake it if you want to become

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: a great fake. Odds are you won't make it. Now

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: let's go to this other one. Keeping it real to me,

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: keeping it real isn't what they call keeping it real.

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Keeping it real to them is just saying anything, just

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: speaking out your mouth, saying how you feel about everything

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: at the moment, just being outwardly ignorant. That's keeping it

38
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: real to me. Keeping it real is keeping it real

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: to yourself. What do you want to be? Who do

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: you want to be? Do you want to drink. No,

41
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Then when the homies say let's drink, you say, I

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: don't want to drink. That's keeping it real. I don't

43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: got no tattoos, I don't smoke weed, I don't really

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: drink alcohol. That was me keeping it real to myself,

45
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: not to the hood. People like, well, how could you

46
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: be from the hood and you ain't got tats Cause

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I kept it real. I kept it real to myself.

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: That's keeping it real. So a lot of people feel like, well,

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you ain't keeping it real if you ain't acting like us,

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: that's not real. That's you, it's not me. Keeping it

51
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: real is keeping it real to yourself. So people that

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: say fake it till you make it and keep it real,

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: don't pay much attention to them. All right, if you

54
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: want to make it, be honest to yourself and embrace

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: your evolution as you get better and bigger. Fuck all

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: that fake in it shit and keeping it real can

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: go severely wrong. Watch Dave Chappelle's show for that one.

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: He has a segment called when keeping It Real Goes wrong.
