"The Overweight Lover" Heavy D, has passed away

P³ Entertainment is sad to announce the passing of a hip hop icon, "The Overweight Lover" Heavy D passed away today at the age of 44.

There is no immediate news on why he died, but he recently returned from an overseas trip and felt a little under the weather.

Heavy D, born Dwight Arrington Myers, fell ill today around 11:30 AM EST, where an ambulance was called to take him to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center but was pronounced dead by 1:00 PM.

There was a time when rap/hip-hop music was fun to listen to.  Heavy D was one of those artists that you could listen to and he'd make you want to dance and get your groove on.  He was one of those dudes in the industry that no one had a negative thing to say about him.  Heavy D was a rare dude in the industry, an all round good soul.

Despite his size at its peak, Heavy D showed his versatility by dancing during his stage performances and in his videos.  He really got into his music, and for a man of his size, 6'4" and topping out at 395 pounds, it was appreciated to see him break a sweat by dancing and getting into the groove.  Seeing Heavy dance got his fans even more hyped and enjoyed the song even more.

Early Heavy D, if you listen closely, sounds to be influenced by legendary hip-hip group, Run DMC, but he had his own style.  He also rode the wave of the New Jack Swing era of the late 1980s and early 1990s, where many of his hits took place.  Combining his rhyme style and the New Jack Swing art of dance, he was that ultimate emcee.

When his full time music career was slowing down, he moved into the executive role at Uptown Records and appeared in several films and stage plays.  He did it without too much attention brought onto himself; and he did his job quietly.

Heavy D recently resurfaced at the 2011 BET Music Awards, performing for the first time in over 15 years, and the crowd loved him.  He went overseas and quite possibly caught pneumonia.  This could be a factor as to why he died, but we won't know until an autopsy is complete.  It's very sad to report losing such a great individual.  He is a much respected hip-hop artist, and he will not be forgotten.

To pay homage to the work of Heavy D, the P³ Entertainment Radio Show broadcast a two part show entitled, The Heavy D Experience: A Tribute to the Heavyweight Lover.  Check out these two parts and listen the work that the Overweight Lover left behind for us, his fans, to enjoy.

R&B Singer, Vesta Williams has died at the age of 53

R&B singer Vesta Williams was found dead in a Los Angeles, California hotel room today. Williams was 53 years old.


Williams' hits included "Sweet Sweet Love," "Once Bitten Twice Shy" and the 1989 smash, "Congratulations," a tale of heartbreak over a love marrying someone else that she later described as "a premonition that came true". The song, with its vocal acrobatics and dramatic story, became a talent show staple.

Though no official cause of death had been determined, John Kades of the L.A. County coroner's office told the Associated Press that it "could be a drug overdose," as there is a report that bottles of prescription pills were found in the hotel room, and that the authorities are treating the singer's death as an accidental overdose or suicide. According to various news sources, someone from the hotel called 911 from the hotel earlier in the evening when the singer’s body was discovered. Law enforcement is currently treating the case as a suicide or accidental overdose. It will take six weeks before a coroner can determine if drugs played a role in Williams’ death. An autopsy will be conducted, though foul play was not suspected.

Word of the singer’s death has been making the rounds on Twitter as fellow celebrities send out their condolences.

Jackeé Harry, the television actress, tweeted her condolences about the singer's passing.

"...just received truly devastating news: R&B great, and my friend of many yrs, Vesta Williams (@vesta4u), has passed away. #RIPVesta"

Williams portrayed Harry's sister on the sitcom, "Sister, Sister." She also appeared in the movie western "Posse" as a lounge singer.

Other celebrities that expressed their condolences include model/fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons. She tweeted,

“What tremendous talent, great soul! 'Cuz as long as I can breathe, you’ll always be the one for me!’”

1990s R&B star Shanice was shocked by the news and tweeted,

“My friend Vesta died…I can’t believe this…RIP.”

Comedian Sinbad wrote, “Our dear sister and one of the sangiest diva’s ever, vesta williams, has passed away. I loved that sister.”

In the 1990s, Williams made headlines for her dramatic weight loss. She told Ebony that she started to rapidly gain weight when her singing career began to falter. Williams, who was 5-foot-3, eventually reached a size 26. She said her size was the reason she lost her recording contract.

"When I lost my record deal and my phone wasn't ringing, I realized that I had to reassess who Vesta was and figure out what was going wrong," she said. "I knew it wasn't my singing ability. So it had to be that I was expendable because I didn't have the right look."

The singer went on to lose 100 lbs, and got down to a size 6, while finding something of a second career as a songwriter and session singer.

In recent years, Williams had become an advocate for the prevention of childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes.



UPDATE

In late December 2011, the family released this statement, through a family friend singer/producer Norwood Young, reporting her official cause of death: "Following three months of intensive coroner's autopsy and toxicology research, it has been definitively determined that the cause of death for our beloved Vesta was 'natural death' from 'hypertensive heart disease,'" adding: "An enlarged heart can remain undetected for many years."

Vesta Williams was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills) on October 4th, 2011 following the memorial service at West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles, California. Attendees included notable friends Wanda Dee, singer Peggi Blu, Freda Payne, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Loretta Devine, Kellita Smith, Norwood Young, Michael Collier (author), Miki Howard, Karel Bouley, Kiki Shepard, Jackee’, Luenell and renowned Blues singer, Linda Hopkins. A private reception was held following the interment.

She is survived by her mother, daughter, three sisters, a brother and three grandchildren as well as many cousins, friends and fans.

East Coast Earthquake

Of course you all know we on the East Coast were hit with an earthquake with the magnitude of a 5.8. It's said that it's one of the hardest on record to hit, and thee record holder in the state of Virginia.

The quake was felt from as far south as Georgia and as far North as Massachusetts. The epicenter was said to be in the small town of Mineral, Virginia, 20 miles from a nuclear power plant.

Expect small aftershocks for the next few days, which could last for the next few months.

P³ Entertainment wishes everyone well in dealing with this event; as it's probably the first big natural event most of us have dealt with in our lifetime here on the East Coast. Cuddle up with your loved ones and tell them you love them. In times like these, you'll never know what else could happen next. 

Up next, Hurricane Irene.....

G-Funk and Hip-Hop legend Nate Dogg passes away

Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, known to many as Nate Dogg passed away overnight due to complications from multiple strokes.

Nate Dogg had been ill for over three years after suffering a stroke in December 2007 and another in September 2008.  The second stroke caused paralysis on the left side of his body and he was unable to speak.

He had begun physical therapy to regain some normalcy in his life, though his singing career may have been over.  Warren G, reached out to the hip-hop community and it's fans for donations to help pay for the medical bills that were piling up.

News broke about the death of Nate Dogg via tweets from Daz Dillinger and Snoop Dogg.  The national press picked up the story within minutes and it was later confirmed that Nate Dogg had indeed passed away.

Various artists and artists that Nate Dogg had collaborated with has since issues their condolences to Nate Dogg's family.  Rapper, The Game, has since created a song entitled "All Dogs Go To Heaven" (R.I.P. Nate Dogg) sampling Nate Dogg from various hits songs such as "Area Codes" and "The Next Episode".

Below is P³ Entertainment's tribute to Nate Dogg.  The song is "Why" from the 1997 film, Gridlock'd.




R.I.P. Nate Dogg.  There won't be another hookman in the industry like you.

Commentary: Bullying, what are the benefits? There are none.

As many of you know, the month of March is a continuance of the Anti-Bullying campaign across America and the world.  Bullying has been going on for ages, from small scale instances such as babies bickering over toys in a playpen to a much grander scale of one country invading another country because the other believes they are weak and won't resist assault.  Bullying hurts everyone involved, whether the guilty party knows it or now.

The reason for bullying has many different manifestations.  Sometimes, the bully is created in his own home because of an abusive family member.  A family member can be tormenting a smaller child and that child has to project his rage and angry onto someone else.  Usually, it's the odd kid at school who the bully tends to pick on, and usually what is being done and said to them at home, they are doing it to the kid at school.  Or a bully can be created by a pack of individuals who see their power in numbers and want to show their "power" by intimidating another individual every time they see them.

Most cases of bullying go unreported or unresolved until someone gets mentally or physically hurt.  There are cases were the person being bullied has had enough and snaps.  When the person snaps, it's not a good thing for either party involved, because usually, someone ends up severely injured or worse, dead.   The person being bullied won't report that they're being bullied because there has to be some sort of evidence of them being threatened or harmed.  Schools have their hands tied in the situation, even though they most likely know someone is being bullied.  Just like stalking, nothing can be done until someone gets hurt.  And even then, there must be an investigation as to why it happened.

So in these cases, when the school system and the authorities can't and won't do anything to stop the threats and the assaults, what is going to happen?  The individual takes matters into his/her own hands and solves the problem themselves.  And when they solve the problem themselves, it's usually a messy resolution.  Then that's when the schools and the authorities jump in, but instead of imposing their "power" upon the bully, they look down on the abused aggressor.  And the reason why they look down on the abused aggressor is because of the carnage they caused when defending themselves.  Yes, defending themselves when no one else would defend them when they asked for the help.  The pain and frustration of being bullied and coupled with being a social outcast boils over and the bully is destroyed.  It's not the kids fault for defending himself when no one else would.  But as stated earlier, no one was going to step in until there was a tragedy.

In this most famous case; a kid is being bullied by what appears to be a group of other boys.  They've cornered the kid against a wall and are video taping the bullying.  Now watch the video to see what happens next........



Of course it would be the littlest one in the pack that would be the one to prove himself to the others. But that doesn't excuse why he was picking on another kid, who apparently has no other friends that can stand up for him or defend him. So the pack picks on him and what happens, he then becomes the aggressor and he destroys his enemy in self defense. He didn't fight the kid, nor did he attack the other kid who stepped to him; he got one off and stood his ground. The other bullies stood back, knowing after what they just saw, they didn't want any part of it. The kid was free to walk away, and most likely will never be bothered again.

I'm pretty sure the kid told his parents and the school what was going on, but what can they do? Someone could have spoken to each child involved and shook their finger at them and told them to never mess with him again. But what good is that, when they could simply ignore the demand of peace and continue to enjoy themselves at this kid's expense. Only now, after seeing one of their own get body slammed, will they understand that it doesn't always pay to be a bully.

Let this be a lesson to all those "bullies" out there that believe they always have the upper hand because they run in numbers or that they have someone who they believe are mentally and physically inferior up against a wall; you to can be touched. And touched in a way you've probably been touched before. And it will hurt, hurt much worse than any pain you inflicted upon someone else. Remember that, and watch the video again........it could be you next, getting dropped on your head because you thought you were such a tough guy.

Take heed to this message below, and associate it with what this commentary is all about: "My mother told me them toes that you step on today might be connected to that ass you kiss later in life."

Commentary: Gucci Mane & The Ice Cream Cone

Apparently, rapper Gucci Mane is crazier than we think he is. And to show how crazy the man is, he's showing it on his face.

Earlier this month, a judge in the Superior Court of Georgia ordered the rapper, whose real name is Radric Davis, temporarily committed to a psychiatric hospital after he was popped for alleged reckless driving; the charges were soon dropped, but Gucci nonetheless faces possible revocation of his probation from a previous crime.

Court documents reveal that Gucci’s lawyers filed a Special Plea of Mental Incompetency on Dec. 27 arguing that he is unable “to go forward and/or intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing.”

He’s currently awaiting a competency hearing and you should know what they'll rule in this case.

Now out on bail, Gucci — who has been incarcerated at least five times since 2005 — dropped in to the Tenth Street Tattoo shop in Atlanta to get tatted up by artist/owner Shane Willoughby. Gucci walked in with his usual look and left a few hours later….with a “3-Scoop Ice Cream Cone” emblazoned with the word “Brrr” occupying the right side of his face.

All we can say is that with the money he's made in the music industry and probably other ventures, Radric isn't a happy individual. Something deep down is eating away at him to cause him to do this to himself. We've seen this happen time and time again with individuals in the spotlight and it doesn't turn out to be a happy ending.

The signs are all there; now it's up to someone to step in and help the man. In these types of situations where the "star" is the dominant one in the group, they tend to resent help and fight every and anyone who tries to help. Those individuals around him can no longer enable him into destroying his life for the sake of them being fired or expelled from his circle. They need to step up and save this man before they won't have a meal ticket to eat from, because he'll be dead; forget about being fired.

The drug issues, multiple run-ins with the law, and being committed to a mental facility are nothing but a recipe for disaster. We've seen this story before, different actor, same screenplay. And the story most likely ends with someone's death.....see Michael Jackson. Right now, Gucci Mane is on the path to self destruction, and whatever demons are eating away at him, he needs to address them, or face the harsh reality that he'll be dead before 50 years old.

Get it together, Gucci.

Commentary: Gold Diggers II

Gold diggers are wretched individuals who will sell their own souls to live the life of luxury and to suck and individual dry, just so they can have what they want. As mentioned in the earlier commentary, there are a variety of gold diggers, and now lets discuss one of the weakest, most disgusting of all gold diggers..........the leeches that just won't let go.

The leech-gold digger is the one that refuses to let go of a relationship when it is over in fear of losing their meal ticket. Once the individual who brings home the bacon has left the stable, the gold digger is left with nothing. The reason being that the leech is left dazed and confused is because once the wealthy has left, they are left with nothing because they have no sort of ties to that person's money. The gold digger does not have any children with the wealthy individual nor do they have a claim in any money the person made during their relationship because that person didn't make any money while together. For instance, the individual you see in the photo is married to a retired basketball player. The basketball player was retired when they got married, so she has no stake in any of his previous contract monies. All she's entitled to is alimony and when that dries up, then what?

In this gold diggers case, she's suspecting that her husband is cheating on her and she's most likely correct in her assumption, but she hasn't provided any proof of her claim. And not providing any proof makes it hard for her to justify her claim and get more out of a split or divorce. Who knows if she's really even digging for evidence against him because she seems pretty comfortable in her surroundings, even though she complains about him not being around for days at a time and not communicating with one another. He seems all for letting the marriage dissolve so he can move on with himself, allowing her to do all the talking and making the next move, in which she doesn't have one. The reason why she doesn't have another move up her sleeve is because she doesn't want to lose what she currently has. She's willing to tolerate his alleged behavior so she can sleep well in multiple homes, buy expensive jewelry, and have access to a deep bank account. If she leaves all that behind, she'll have, at the most, one home, a car or two, and limit funds that can be spent up in a matter of time. There's no children, so she can't live off the excess of child support, so she's at a loss. So with her back against the wall, she's willing to "suffer" in the relationship and hold onto an alleged cheating husband who doesn't want her and she claims she doesn't love or want him all for the love of luxury and money.

This leech is willing to sacrifice personal happiness in the pursuit of maintaining riches. Who knows if the tears are real when she cries about her situation. But even a blind man with cataracts can see that she's holding onto a dead relationship so she can maintain her grip on what she can lose if she signs "those papers". Without that meal ticket or unlimited funds, what is the gold digger to do with herself? Her lifestyle will definitely change and she most likely won't be in those social circles of like individuals who are still drawing blood from rich simps and tricks, unless she quickly attaches herself to another one.

Similar to the housewife who was once married and became the mistress of a wealthy man, the alimony is the only thing that'll hold her up. Her ability to engage in a real relationship will be stunted because in the back of that gold diggers' mind, if they re-marry, that alimony, that free money, is gone; it'll be one less check they have coming in. So why re-marry, when she can maintain the alimony check and sleep with multiple men for additional money? Thus, the leech turns into a proud hooker....... And maybe if she's lucky, she can hook into another unsuspecting punk and drain him for what he has as well by getting pregnant or tricking him into marrying.

In this day and age, real relationships are hard to come by and for any person to know whether or not the other is in it for love or ulterior motives. That's why we preach to watch out for yourselves and for those closest to you. Only your true family and friends won't burn you for what you have, no matter how wealthy you may be. They value you for you and not what you have. Only those who are from the outside, digging up your history, are the ones who are out to see what you can offer them. They are the snakes, and the fakes in society who have no conscience in hurting you to get what they want. You have to beware of those individuals and remember, stay gold digger free, and make yourself aware. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. And believe, the gold digger is your enemy, because what she wants you do to is be a trick and a simp, a punk. P³ doesn't want to see that. Because if it dresses like a hooker, and acts like a hooker, you better bet on black that it is a hooker. Real talk.

Commentary: An Old Fashion Ass Whuppin'

Remember the good ole days when our parents and even neighbors cared for what we did in school and even in the streets? Doesn't it seem like those caring patriarchs no longer exists are just hidden? We don't hear too many stories of caring parents who act out of love towards their children by whuppin' their asses when they get out of line. We're sure it still happens, but not as often as it should and used to.

Recently, a concerned uncle displayed his love and concern for his nephew by creating a video of himself displaying such love and concern. The uncle apparently read some comments by the nephew on Facebook in reference to some sort of gang activity. The uncle didn't stand for what the nephew wrote on the social networking site, confronted the nephew about what he wrote, and the next is what ALL concerned parents should do with children who get out of line....


We're surprised he didn't throw any punches to really show him how much he loves him. What that uncle did was not embarrassing, nor was it out of line; that was love. Having that kid acknowledge what he was doing was wrong, reminding him of his current home environment, and denouncing the gangster act was what he needed. Making him think about what he did and said is the psychological aspect of the punishment, the belt was the physical. We only wish he backed him into a corner and gave him a 3-piece to the chest.

Though there is small pockets of discussions on whether or the not the uncle went overboard, deep down, those initiating the discussions know he was in the right. He turned his nephew from engaging in activity that is not becoming of him. Speaking on the level that he was allegedly speaking of would make those who really live that life believe what they were reading was real coming from him. The uncle made him call out the rap music he listened to and made him denounce it as fake. He made him say what he wrote on Facebook was all fake, and that he comes from a good family. There's nothing overboard about that. He made that boy know that he has family that loves him and that all that acting over the internet can get him in trouble, in which it did, just by someone with a gentler hand. Imagine if some "thug" or misguided individual read whatever it was the boy wrote and approached him, taking him up on his "tough" words; what would the boy have done? He was lucky his uncle "saved" him from the streets reaching up and touching him. When the streets touch you, there's nothing gentle about it, and the streets don't care. The boy should be thanking his uncle for stirring him in the right direction and preventing him from a real ass whuppin' or even worse.

Let this be a lesson to all those so-called thugs and gangstas out there talking tough on the internet, hiding behind a computer screen, tough typing. You all may laugh at the boy for getting whupped in front of the world, claiming that it'll never happen to you, but his life is saved from a possible much worse fate. Remember, you have to come from behind that keyboard sometime and when you do, you'll never know who read what you wrote and what they'll do to you.

Playing G isn't going to make you a man; learning about yourself and your history, putting your head in books and gaining knowledge is the way to become a respectable individual. You'll feel better about yourself and your surroundings when you live straight. Playing G and living foul causes stress and other internal issues that shortens your life. No one wants to live guarded all the time; though it may sound cool in a song, but you have to remember, it's a song, fake, a story. It's better to live your life in reality and not by the words of a rap artist who has a college degree and has mastered the art of playing gangsta.

Live your life clean and honest, you'll sleep better.

Commentary: Gold Diggers

Allow us to revisit a subject that we touched base on back on September 18, 2009. Back then, the subject of the commentary was called Secrets of a Housewife, and it touched base on a specific individual that appears on the very popular Bravo television series, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. We touched base on how this individual is a upscale hooker and is only motivated by money without having to do much of anything. You may want to call it hating the game that she plays, but it’s not about the game that she plays, it’s about how she’s playing the game. Portraying yourself as a victim when someone calls you out on your ways isn’t cool. That was the gripe of P³ and that everyone was wrong for questioning her and her relationship with a married man. He’s the simp for even allowing things to go the way they were going. He’s the simp for tricking off his money to a woman who cares nothing for him and will allow herself to be used as a skee bucket to get money. What man would want a woman who’s willing to put herself in that position for money; maybe a pimp would, but not a man who has integrity, morals, principles, and most importantly, self control. Instead, it’s the other way around as she’s the pimp, and this man is the hoe, because she’s breaking this man for whatever he’s able to provide for her. Yet, a true pimp doesn’t have to do much to get anything from those around him, things just come naturally. In her case, she’s giving back to get what she wants; she provides her body to these men to obtain her riches. P³ doesn’t know where any one of you are from, but where P³ is from, those type of individuals are called whores, skeezers, prostitutes, call girls, etc, etc…..

And now, since that gravy-train has since left the station, she’s had to sell some of her belongings that was locked away in storage to maintain some sort of income. She’s so deliberate, it’s sickening. And speaking of deliberate, she’s now pregnant by the first man who winked and made six plus figures a year. It’s all a plot, a plan, to not do anything with herself, and yet, rake in doe. So no matter how you put it, if this new guy doesn’t stick around, she’s guaranteed to get a good monthly paycheck from him due to the child she’s carrying. You can’t knock her hustle, and she finds the simps that’ll kick out to support her, but it’s just disgusting that she does nothing, but open her legs, and gets paid. She’s the epitome of a gold digger.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a Gold Digger is defined as:

1: one who digs for gold

2: a person who uses charm to extract money or gifts from others

What does the aforementioned individual person do for money, have sex with the another to get the money, correct? In this case, the charm to extract the money or gifts from the other is sex. The charm is sex and there's no spin that this person can put on it, because that's what she is, and that's a gold digger.

Gold diggers come in many different forms, from using others for their own self gratification and financial advancement, to only involving themselves in a relationship with another individual if they are making at least a certain amount of money per year when they aren't drawing a dime themselves, they need that individual to support them; to making others believe they are in a relationship with someone, fulfilling that individuals needs in some shape or form, and in return, being showered with monetary and material gifts; to being an individual who is willing to sacrifice their bodies by having children to assure they will forever be linked to the wealthy individual by means of some kind of child support or a standard of living support (alimony); to being an individual who only marries to satisfy their monetary desires and to ultimately be the beneficiary of that other individual in case an accident happens, yet, not truly loving the individual they marry. The latter is the ultimate in relationship deception. You gave your solemn word in front of "friends", family, and before God that you would take care of this individual, that you loved this individual, that through the best and the worst of times you will be by that person's side, yet, in the back of your mind, you're only out for something material. Then there's the individual who claims to love the other in marriage, yet, when the relationship hits rock bottom, refuses to leave the relationship in fear that their meal ticket will be cut off. This type of gold digger will be discussed in part 2 of this commentary.

Today, we're going to discuss the individual who marries for their own material and financial gain. These gold diggers may associate themselves with the most unattractive of individuals solely for their money and status. These gold digger want to take the trip that the affluent may be going on and will do whatever it takes to be taken along on that ride; even if it means getting surgery to enhance their appearance to fit within the circle of the wealthy, having their children, and simply becoming a slave, so they may live in comfort and obtain those riches. So once the "relationship" goes south, the gold digger is going to want more than their share in the split because they gave up so much in life to be with that individual who swore they would take care of them. The gold digger most likely will have no earning potential, before, during, and after the "relationship" has ended, but they may only a few goals, hobbies, and ambitions; and when these facts are brought before a judge, the gold digger will get more than what they deserve because they sacrificed themselves to obtain either the entire pot of gold or just a piece. There may be instances where the gold digger doesn't get everything they believed they'd get in the judgment because their ex-"partner" doesn't have the riches they once had because those riches have already been dried up during the "relationship" or by other business ventures gone south.

The gold digger will then use this settlement to enact their goals to "flip" the money they obtained, because in reality, the gold digger is a hustler. A hustler at heart will attempt to flip whatever money they have to make more money. A perfect example is one of the Housewives of Atlanta who has the goal and ambition of becoming a fashion designer and has used her alimony money to fund her business. The business had a buzz, but there were no takers on the fashion line to get it manufactured and distributed, so it's a total failure. Just about everything that she obtained is dried up, gone, on a failed business venture. And it's to no surprise, she's seeking more from the ex to maintain her lifestyle and keep up with those around her. The shame of being a failure has set in and the victim role must be played in an attempt to extort more money. The rumor of the newest house, the house that hasn't been lived in for more than 2 years as a downsize from the previous home, is now in foreclosure. Instead of working like a normal individual, this gold digger elects to live off the monthly checks and the hopes of the clothing line becoming a success. The thought logic is a fail, but that's the gamble a gold digger takes to live the high life.

Another example of a gold digger is one who sacrificed themselves to obtain riches while in a relationship when they had earning potential before but stopped doing whatever it was they were doing to make that money and once the relationship ended, the judge awarded the gold digger an obscene amount based on her current earnings, which was nothing.

A sucker is born everyday but a blind sucker is born every other day. Sometimes a gold digger can't be spotted because they hide in sheep's clothing. They appear to be innocent to those looking from afar or those only with eyes good enough to see just the surface, but deep down, there's a motive involved. The gold digger has the potential of making money but ceased all efforts once getting involved in a relationship with someone who makes a good amount of money per year. On top of that, this gold digger gets pregnant, upping their chances of making more money once the relationship ends. As stated before, the gold digger may look innocent, but they really are out for keeps.

They sacrificed themselves by putting their careers on hold and started a family, so before a judge, that's their argument. There's no need to stop making money on their part, they chose to do so and live off the other. And now that the relationship is over, their argument will be that they don't make any money and requests the maximum in support (alimony), coupled with child support. Of course a judge is going to stick it to the man, but once it becomes official, the gold digger continues their career making money. That's a true hustler's spirit to basically deceive and rob, play the victim, then go back to making money legitimately. That's why you have to watch out for the snakes by having your grass cut low at all times.

Now-a-days, it's hard to tell if someone is going to be with you because of your money or because it's real love. There's so many ways of getting over on people for one's own financial and material gain, it's not even funny. You have to look out for yourself when in a relationship and think to yourself, "why this person is with me?" You have to notice the signs of deception and listen for little comments that just don't make any sense. Look out for actions that could be detrimental to your relationship to the point where a split could cause you to split with your money on a grander scale. Protect yourself and just as the female watches your every move, you also keep one eye open and make calculated moves to assure the security of your funds.

The next part of this commentary will focus on gold diggers who refuse to break off a relationship in fear of losing their meal ticket.

It's time to stop fakin' on your own thoughts and words and make good on everything you want to do. You have to find the will within yourself to get motivated to do what your thoughts tell your mouth to say. Motivation is the key, as you need to find it within yourself to get out and go to the gym. You are not going to lose that weight by putting the gym visits off until the next day or the next day. While you sit on your couch watching the same episode of Housewives of Atlanta that you saw last week, you could be getting that gym membership and making good on your thoughts and wishes. All it takes is for you to get up, get out, and do something with yourself, rather than running at the lips about what you are going to do. Instead of your lips running, put on some gym clothes and run your entire body. It's about what you are going to do and when you are going to do it.

Make 2011 the year that you stop lying to yourself and making yourself a better person. Find ways of making new money, find ways of advancing your career, find ways of getting more degrees and certifications to get more money, find ways to meet new people and network, find a legal hustle that will advance you to getting everything you need to be successful.
