SPEAK ON IT!!!! THE STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE OF SOME DON'T MIX RELIGION, MARRIAGE AND UNATTRACTIVENESS TOGETHER!!!!
I am in the entertainment business. Not the music business, but all around entertainment business. So it is my personal job to stay on gossip blogs, follow certain celebrities, actors, athletes and so on. There was one particular incident that has recently occurred that caught me extremely off guard. Let me state first that yes, I am a fan of some rap music, But not all, Hip-Hop has changed a lot in it's genre since I have first started listening to it. So I am familiar and not familiar with the rapper Kevin Gates. I am not a fan of his work or music. However just because I am not a fan of his work does not mean I am a hater of the man and his music. I just don't particularly care for it. I guess I am an old school Hip-Hop chick. Whatever that means.
I did some research on Kevin Gates. From my perspective and from what I have read he is a seriously hot commodity and very well liked in the Hip-Hop community. Kudos to him! However as you know my Speak On It!! Is very direct and from my heart and soul. My opinion is this is a confused self-righteous man who feels and thinks he is a man of God and Allah. I have never ever met a Muslim in my life that used profanity as the way Kevin Gates does. A man of God that uses profane language as Kevin Gates does. That offends my spirit, my soul and emotions. Ohhhh no I am far from perfect!!!!! By far!!!!!! However the things that comes out of his mouth and the confusion he speaks is simply erratic diatribe that makes him "look" as if he is some crass, rude dumb azz! I do believe he is a very intelligent man. I just don't feel he shows it. Could it be something he is drinking, breathing or smoking? I am not ensuing that he is on drugs. The one thing I do know is that he loves his wife, family and they indeed mean the world to him. Does not the Qur'an or the Holy Bible say, "You cannot serve two masters?" So why does Kevin Gates say things such as, " I am a fukn man of God." "I am a married man, don't put your dirty azz hands on me." Is that something a man of God would say? A Muslim would say? First let me state for the record. I have my pet peeves. There are many men that do not know them. One of them is to be called "Baby, love, sweetheart, dear, honey" by a man that I just met. It is for me a privilege to be called these names by someone that loves you, that you are in a relationship with. Married to. I think and feel that calling a woman, me. This places a pressure that I am yours. Now, if my family members, senior citizens call me this no problem. But if we just met, you approach me, want to date me. It makes me feel hemmed in. Like we arfe in a relationship... Crazy? Could be... However..............
When I tell the men that meet me this, most inner stand. Some don't. Most apologize. However, I tell them they had no idea. So how would they know if they offended me? No one knows anything unless you tell them. So when Kevin Gates was interviewed by DJ Traci Steele for Birthday Bash in Atlanta Georgia. For him to be rude and crass and give her a look of discontentment and disdain was unattractive. There is and is not a way that one acts when being interviewed. There was no level of professionalism at all. Clearly!!!!!! He could have waited until the interview was over and told her that he did not liked to be touched by women. Did she touch him sexually? No! Not at all!!! It was a gesture by touching his arm, happy to see him. Right after he wiped his arm as if she had dog crap on her hand. Afterwards he looked at her as if she killed, murdered someone in his family. His interview was very stealth afterwards. He made her very uncomfortable, was very dry. Traci Steele stayed very professional! Big kudos to her! A huge applause!
Not once have I ever heard a speech from a Muslim nor a Bishop, Pastor, Priest, Reverend, Evangelist where he/she said "I am fukn man/woman of God." Is this a new religion now??? So many are now coming out!!! So many thing are changing. Is the Muslim community exuberant and ecstatic over Kevin Gates? Do they even claim him in the Muslim community?? Does Farrakhan endorse this sort of behavior? I am only asking because I am unaware. I know that in the community I am apart of they do not look too kindly upon profane language and God in the same sentence. I am quite uncomfortable with how he expresses himself and uses profane language. How he speaks down to people.
I was taught by my mother that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Also that there is a time and a place for everything. A time to walk away, a time to speak up, a time to be quiet, a time to defend yourself. Where is the level of respect??? Where is the level of self dignity? For me as time moves forward, as it always does. The world moves closer and closer to the negative, to bitterness, to racism, to selfish actions over and over and over. Crime, murder and so on. Finances, nerves on the edge. Some people are more quick than ever to hurt you. The stresses of the world are numerable!!!!
My point also in this Speak On It!!! Is that when given a platform on any level one should always be humble, respectful,loyal to their art and the many fans that support their art. Kevin Gates was not this famous "rapper" in my opinion he is not famous as some of the rappers I have heard about that generate from the south. I am simply not impressed by his music, nor his behavior!
Get your money! Hustle and do what it is in any legal format to make yourself known. I am all for it!! However the unattractive behavior and mumble jumble of some of these artist. Actors, writers, authors and so on. It seems as if we are good for saying the not so nice things of people and then later wanting to apologize in the end. However, Kevin Gates not once apologized since the publishing of this blog.
