re: TM7 on Miles (full interview)

Part of me feels like he was an idiot for throwing it all away and smoking dope after repeatedly being given second, third and who knows..maybe even fourth chances. He deserves anything he gets.

But another side of me says that I (or any of us) should not judge him until we've walked in his shoes. The stardom he experienced had to be overwhelming....the persona he had to live up to eventually became too much for him to handle. Couple that with still having friends who were bad influences....so he turns to mary jane to drift off and relieve that pressure.

And therein lies the downfall. Seeing the interview was painful for me because I think he now truly realizes he had the world in front of him and he chose the wrong path. I believe that until you reach rock bottom...whatever your "bottom" is...only then will you open your eyes and see what a frickup you've become.

I feel like he's done that and sincerely wish him nothing but the best. He can really turn this into a great story if he never loses sight of where he once was and where he can end up in his life/career.

Tyrann - keep yourself grounded, surround yourself with good people (ie, PP7) and work your arse off like your life depends on it.


Because it does.


I believe you can.
