Our Favorite Costumes from
Halloween
2018
By OC LeadinLady
Halloween has long been considered a controversial holiday.
Celebs, Insta-babes, Mamarazzis all decided to throw caution
to the wind and celebrate Halloween in FULL FORCE! If we had
to use our best “social media judgment” we’d say the holiday
lasted a week long. Check out some of our favorite costume pics
from around Instagram

2 hair removal
Waxing may cost a few bucks but there are other hair removal
you may want to try while budget crunching.
Shaving – instead of buying shaving cream you can use oil or
soap that you already have. Nair (–or another chemical hair remover)
instead of waxing can cut cost by a lot considering that
1 wax can run 50-80 dollars a month wile using near which cost
around 5-12 dollars per bottle with atlas 20 uses out of it.

Instead of spending 8-40 dollars on a face cleanser you can
look up DIY face care recipes.
4 Hair
Using wigs saves time and money a whole hair style within a
few minutes.

SPIFF MADE IT
When did you realize this was your dream?
Six years ago, I fed my love for fashion by designing my
own unique style of clothing. I
realized designing clothes was a
skill set I could master, so
I learned how to
sew. I received
numerous
compliments
on clothes I
had altered. Within
weeks my vision
became a reality. Some
doubted me, but I proved
them wrong, becoming
more and more creative.
What is
unique about
you that enables your services to be different than others?
I love fashion. I have an eye for it. My designs are not just
clothes, they create a lifestyle. They foster confidence.
They are original and 100% made from scratch. I manifest
clothing pieces not found in stores, but envisioned by my
customers. I am not afraid to think out of the box and use
those crazy fabric patterns either.
How long have you actively pursued your craft?
I started six years ago initially with screen printing, but
shortly after I pursued sewing. I enjoy sewing more than
screen printing, but I continue to do both. Once I learn
the basics of sewing, it’s was not difficult to learn how to
design different pieces of clothing.
What finally convinced you to go for it?
My interests began to deepen as I devoted more time to it.
I began looking up other designers, typically those around
my age, and they influenced me. To see so many young
individuals not only hustling, but doing it by themselves,
and being their own boss is amazing. The compliments I
received were amazing. My mother plays a big role as well.
She has her own business (Tamu Cupcakery), and her relentless
drive, devotion, and daily words of encouragement
is everything and more. I found something I was skilled
at, which graduated from sewing in my spare time for fun
to sewing and making a profit. I am absolutely loving the
smiles from a customer as they try on a ‘Spiff Made It’
original piece. I found my passion!
What is the first step that you took to kick off your business/services?
A good friend, Onel,
actually helped- whether
he believes it or not. I
changed the name twice before sticking with Spiff Made It.
He helped with that tremendously! He was the first paying
customer I designed a shirt for, and the first person I hand
painted shoes for. He would walk around [in my designs],
and when people asked him where he got it from, he’d say
“Spiff Made It”. That’s when it dawned on me that that’s
what I wanted my clothing line to be called. Once I got
the name, I made the Facebook page. Facebook has been
good, but I believe Instagram is really where it’s at (in regards
to being recognized worldwide quicker). So, making
those social sites, and word of mouth through friends and
family, were the first steps.
What are the perks of being your own boss?
Everything I just mentioned above basically. Doing things
on my own schedule is great. Most customers give me the
freedom of creating whatever I put my mind to, which is
the best feeling. I love not having to seek approval from
anyone. From the sizes, to what type of clothing, to the
artwork, to the choice of fabric... It’s all the freedom of
expression and creativity through Spiff.
What is the best advice you can give someone who wants
to start their own business?
Perfect your skill, check your credit, get a mentor in that
field, and make sure you love what you do. Remain committed
and dedicated, and do not give up! Promote yourself
nonstop. Branding! Learn quickly that every fail is not
failure, and that nobody actually succeeds on their first,
second, or maybe even the third attempt anyway. You’ll
make mistakes, LEARN from them! Invest in yourself more
and more as time goes by. Whatever you do, do not give
up!

Rest in peace
young greatness
“One thing about Greatness was, he was a passionate dude for the music.
Every time I talked to him, he sounded like he was one hit away from being
the biggest artist in the world and couldn’t nobody fuck with him. Every
time you talk to him... “They can’t fuck with me, they can’t fuck with your
bro, they can’t fuck with me.” Rip to Greatness.” - Boston George
New Orleans rapper and Cash Money signee Young
Greatness, real name Theodore Jones, was fatally shot
early Monday morning outside of a Waffle House. He
was 34.
Young Greatness was best known for his 2015 hit
“Moolah,” which was released by Atlanta’s Quality
Control Records, current home to the Migos and Lil
Yachty. The record was produced by Jazze Pha. New
Orleans authorities have not yet released any further
details about the shooting.
While Young Greatness was from New Orleans, he relocated
to Houston in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
It was there that he found early success, attracting the
attention of local heroes like Mike Jones and Bun B. After
the success of “Moolah,” Young Greatness signed
with New Orleans’ record label, Cash Money, under
the tutelage of Brian “Birdman” Williams.
“The first time I heard him, I knew he was going to be
big,” Birdman said in a statement released after Young
Greatness’ signing. “He’s got a grasp of melody that
few artists have. It’s the sound of the future.”
“I always was melodic because that’s how I came up
— second line music, we sing,” he told Rolling Stone
in 2016. “That was already instilled into me. … We
used to go so much to where I was the child in my
household that started rebelling on going to the second
line.”

“I’d rather the fortune, not the fame.”
@bigbree_raps
Big Bree
Tell me a little bit about yourself,
your personality.
One thing I can say about
myself is I’m highly confident.
I think that’s one of the things
that really draws a lot of people
to me, my confidence.
And where do you draw that
confidence from?
It’s very personal but I will
share. All my life I’ve always
been judged on my size. Especially
by my mother. And you
know that’s supposed to be,
you know, my mom. And all of
my life she’s made me feel like
being fat was ugly but I always
knew personally, I’m pretty.
You don’t have to be skinny to
be pretty.
How do you help someone
embrace their size and embrace
their beauty?
At the end of the day, if you’re
comfortable with your weight,
that’s all that matters. Because
at the end of the day, at this
size, I can find a man, I can still
do everything everyone can
do. Don’t lose weight because of someone else’s opinion
that you’re not pretty. If you’re gonna do it, do it for your
health.
Tell me a little bit about your life, give me a sense of who
you are.
I’m a very old soul. That’s basically how I was raised. I’m
Haitian, so we’re accustomed to old fashion ways, old
school principles. I got married at 19, my parents were
pretty upset about that. But you know, it’s been a year
now, he’s not going anywhere, they’ll just have to get over
it. I was born in Ft Lauderdale but moved to Turks and
did a little schooling over there in Turk & Caicos Islands.
That’s where my mother lives. My father is still in Haiti.
Even though I’m a State’s baby I still know the struggle and
how it is to live in Haiti, been there, and I went to school in
Turks so I know how it is and it grew me to be really responsible
and really appreciate the things I’m offered here
and why it’s so good to live here.
And how do you translate that into your music?
By letting everyone know that there’s nothing that you
can’t do. Watching how my parents came from nothing
and build into something. That opened my eyes that, if
you’re not successful, not to be rude, it’s because you
don’t want to be successful. Because everyone is given an
opportunity, it’s just what you choose to do with it. Like,
at first I didn’t think I could be a rapper, but slowly I kept
doing it and kept trying it trying trying it, and now you can
put on a beat and I can write a whole song in 5 minutes,
with pen and paper, not off the top.
How did you choose that art form to express your creativity?
My favorite subject in school was English. Because I loved
to talk. Anytime there were any presentations in school, I
always wanted to present. Anytime it had anything to do
with poetry. Writing was my thing. At first, it started off
with poetry and then I learned that rap is just a sort of poetry,
you just gotta know how to flow with it, rhyme, and it
just comes naturally.
What is your goal with music?
I don’t know where I see myself going with music, it’s
something I really enjoy doing. And I don’t plan on making
it and using this as a career, but I just know I’m not gonna
stop.
So what are you looking to do as
a career?
I honestly just wanna live the
most humble life as possible. I
don’t care for the fame. I want
to be successful, but as far as the
fame and living like Cardi B and
Nicki Minaj, I really don’t care
for it. Because I’m kind of a
personal person, I don’t
like to be all out there. I’d
rather the fortune, not
the fame.

Is the goal to remain independent or are you chasing
a deal?
Chasing a bag.
I’m the deal.

Sitting here with Suppa Shotta, the
name alone tells me you’re about
that life. That tells me a lot about
your music as well.
Well, I come straight from the
streets so when you tune in to me,
you tune in for that street, that
Boosie, that Plies, that Webbie.
But it’s Shotta Suppa you know, I
got my own swag.
I said your name wrong...
It’s all good, really ain’t no correct
way. They call me Suppa. And my
aunties, the older people they call
me Shotta.
So Suppa, if you were a superhero,
what would be your super power?
My superpower would be to be
able to tell how you feeling. The
moment I see you, I know how
you feeling no matter how your
face looks.
So that tells me you really tap
into other people’s energy. Some
people are empaths and are able
to feel other’s vibes. That’s a great
quality to have. Back to your music,
how long have you been at it?
Well, I’ve been rapping since 8 or
9. Pretty much ever since I knew
how to put words together. I just
did it around my neighborhood.
The old neighborhood days, when
everybody would come around,
I would be the jitterbug freestyling
on the mic. My momma, she
allowed me to curse, so all the
grown people, the gangsters they
would vibe. That was back in
Labelle in 98, 99 all through the
2000s.
Tell me about being from Labelle.
We’re separated from everything.
We only have 10 streets. And
when I say 10 streets, I mean the
hood, we only have 10 streets.
How does coming from a city that
small reflect in your music?
Since it’s so small, nothing is
hidden. Everything is in your face.
So if at 7 you’re seeing the same
thing you would see at 18. Coming
from the trenches, I feel smarter
than the city niggas because
growing up I saw it all. You’re in
the streets, you’re just in them.
There’s no first step, second step,
it’s head first.
And I know you just dropped a
project with Iceberg. Tell me how
that came about.
I was at Studio 500, shout out to
Syd, HD, Knowledge, Passaround.
& my boy Richard. My boy told me
Iceberg was going to be in town
the following day. It sounded like
a good opportunity for me, so I
took it. I already had my session
scheduled and while recording,
Headcoach, he was fucking with
the song that I was doing. So they
came in, I didn’t have a certain
song for him or anything, I played
about 3 songs for him and he
chose to jump on “Sum bout the
money.”
And you just dropped the video to
that correct? How’s that doing?
The video is doing pretty good.
About 71k views in a month. Just
based on my own promotion.
That’s not bad at all for an artist
who’s pushing themselves. Is the
goal to remain independent or are
you chasing a deal?
Chasing a bag. I’m the deal. I ain’t
rich but I got the money. I can do
for myself what a label can do.
@Shotta_Suppa

Megan the
From first glance at your name,
Megan Thee Stallion, one would
assume you did modeling, would
that be correct?
When I was younger, I did do a
little modeling. It’s crazy because
my mom and my dad thought I
was gonna be like a Victoria Secret
model coz that’s something I really
wanted to do when I was growing
up. But my mom was a rapper, so
when I saw her rapping and going
hard, and the type of music I was
listening to, I was like I definitely
wanna do this. So I just ran with the
name.
Tell me a little bit about your life
growing up.
Growing up, my mom and my dad
would have me listening to UGK,
Three6 Mafia, just a lot of rough,
hard music. And watching my mom
go to the studio, I would be in there
with her all night. So she would
think that I was probably there
sleep or doing whatever kids would
be doing, but I was literally in there
listening to what she was in there
doing. I learned a lot of studio etiquette
from her, just watching her
write, just learning my own craft,
my own style. Watching her put
the time and the work in, I feel like
that’s where I got it from.
Do you feel like that gave you the
upper hand when it comes to the
rap game, being that you had
somewhat of an apprenticeship?
I feel like however much work
you put into something your
results are going to equal to
that. So I never thought like I had
an upper hand, I just saw it as
my mom was going hard so I’m
thinking that’s what every body’s
doing. I didn’t know anything
different. I’m just assuming everybody’s
going hard. But looking
back at it now, I guess I did
have the upper hand with seeing
somebody do things a certain
way.
Starting from a young age,
watching your mom in the studio,
at what point did you decide
that’s what you wanted to do
for yourself?
I was probably 7, and my mom
had bought me a Barbie tape
recorder thing and said I could
record my voice on it. It had 4 or
5 different instrumentals on it.
It didn’t even sound like regular
little kid music. I don’t even know
what Barbie was going through
but I took it to my mom’s room
and was like listen to this mama,
and started rapping and she was
like “wow Megan, that’s good!”
In my mind I was going hard, I
didn’t bring it back to her again
until I was like 18, and I would be
stealing my mom’s instrumentals.
Back then we didn’t have You-
Tube yet, so we just had CDs with
all the instrumentals on them,
DJs used to hand them out. I was
stealing them from her and she
would be like “Meg have you seen
my CDs with my instrumentals?”
And I would be like “Nah I don’t
know where they at.” Finally, I just
came to her and was like “Mama
you gotta listen to this.” and she
was like “Nah you’re not coming
out till you 21.” And that’s where
we at with it right now. You now
have Megan Thee Stallion.
Now present day, tell me how
2018 has been for your music career,
you just dropped a track with
Moneybagg Yo, how did that come
about?
2018 I got signed to 1501 Certified,
it’s an independent label. And I got
with them, we immediately started
working on my mixtape Tina Snow,
they asked if I could have a collab
with anyone, who would you want
to have a collab with right now?
And Moneybagg Yo is one of my
favorite rappers of this generation
so I said I definitely would want to
collab with him. I heard the track,
Moneybagg had put his verse on
it and I just went on there and put
the hook and the verse on it and
that was that. Then he came out
here and shot the video. We went

Stallion
e“Everybody got to know who
Tina Snow is, so on this tape
everyone will get to know
who the hottie is.”

to the club later that night, it was
lit, it was fun, a really good process.
In the music industry, when a
male artist come out everyone just
accepts them. But when a female
artist comes out, she’s pinned
against the other women for that
number one spot. Have you experienced
this in the industry?
Definitely, people give men easy
passes. I don’t know why, but a
man can get on a track and make
all kinds of noises and everybody
will be like “yeah that’s hot, put
that out.” But when a woman is
doing it, I feel like its looked at with
such a critical eye and they’re expecting
so much from us when one
woman is doing something that’s
amazing. It’s usually not a lot of
women in the rap industry who get
a lot of shine so
they’re immediately
gonna compare
you to the only
other women that
they may
know. Or
they may
just try to
hurry up
and pit you
against another
chick
just for
publicity or
just tryna
put their
girl on. I
don’t know
why people make
women automatically
be catty but that’s
just something
I believe really
need to stop.
Because women,
we need to
realize we’re in the same field but
we’re not doing the same thing,
and we’re not rapping alike. When
people understand the spotlight
can be shared, coz we’re not in the
same lane, I feel like everything can
go real smooth. But I haven’t ran
into anything so far where anybody
is trying to pit me against anybody
because I don’t care about stuff like
that, I worry about me. And when I
worry about me, things run smooth
on my end. I don’t know what
everybody else got going, but I’m
worried about Megan.
What does 2019 have in store for
you?
I really feel like 2019 is going to be
my year, I’m dropping a new project
called Fever, it’s dropping real
soon, I feel like I’m gon take over
with that one. I feel like I’ve been
taking over with Tina Snow, but
we’re definitely gonna take it another
notch with Fever. 2019 Megan
Thee Stallion will be a household
name.
Who’s Tina Snow?
Tina Snow is my alter ego, Pimp C
is my favorite rapper and one of
his aliases is Tony Snow. How Pimp
C makes me feel is how I want my
listeners to feel like that. So I definitely
had to go with Tina Snow.
With Fever, I’m the hot girl, Hot girl
Meg, so I wanted a different personality
on this mixtape. Everybody
got to know who Tina Snow is, so
on this tape everyone will get to
know who the hottie is.
@theestallion

Stevei Blanco
Stevei Blanco, does that translate
to White Steve?
the vibe?
Tell me about your music, what’s
Yeah, basically. Everybody
I’m anywhere between Pit Bull to
already thinks I’m a White boy. T.I. I like to put myself right in
I’m really Cuban/Puerto Rican. there, that type of vibe. Hispanic
From Miami but raised in Lee but really on some trap shit.
County.
How did you get started in
music?
I want to say Cypress Lake
Middle, beatboxing on the
table with a pencil, everybody
getting in a group rapping.
That’s how it got started, took
off from there.
What’s the first rhyme you remember
putting together?
I couldn’t tell you honestly. I
did some time so I didn’t take
it seriously until I was sitting
in a cell by myself and started
writing really.
A lot of people in music are influenced
by having done time.
Take me through that process
of deciding this was the route
to take.
Really, that wasn’t until recently.
Honestly, until I did
Pure239, shout out to Pure239.
We did a video and I really
started taking my craft to a
higher level. Even tho I’ve put
out music before, it was like I’m
getting so much good feedback
towards what I’m doing that
I might as well do it 100%.
There’s no reason to half-ass
shit.
“Hispanic but
really on some
trap shit.”
Take me through some of your
life experiences that have shaped
your music.
Doing my time. I was 18, got
through that. I’m 28 now. So
anywhere from living on the
street to family problems, things
like that, in and out of relationships,
dumb shit, not taking life
seriously until recently. I would
say these past 3 years have been
taking myself seriously as a man
to where I can actually respect
my craft and do things the way
I want to, make money, put
that money behind me as well.
Because if you’re not putting
money behind yourself, it’s a
wrap.
A lot of people feel like talent
itself will take you far in music,
do you believe that?
Nah, if you got rich parents
maybe. But if you come from
nothing, and I come from nothing,
you really gotta make a way
to see an outcome.
You mentioned being in and out
of relationships, have you finally
found that balance between
your personal life and your
career?
The person who I’m with, she
really pushes me to do better.
Not just musically but as a man.
Just do better for myself, just
showing me that I’m worth
more than what I’m putting
out. Once I realized, damn I
have someone who cares for me
and not just her, I got a family
behind me and all that I gotta
take care of. It’s sink or swim
you know.
@steveiwhite

oston
George
Tell me about your name “Boston
George”
This name’s been following me forever
and I want to make sure the world
know, I did not name myself that. I
was in the streets, doing my thing,-
making a little money and me and Slim
Thug and one of his homeboys and we
were making our way to Dallas, my
real name is George by the way, we
was by a subway and I had a pocket
full of fives, and I just wanted to get
rid of em, it was like a big roll gigantic
band of fives, and Rico, which was
Slim Thug’s homeboy was like “oh shit!
Boston George got it! Boston George.”
Considering Boston George was a big
time street dude, you know, whatever
the case maybe. So people started saying
that, they said it all weekend. And
Ikem from Indmix, a blog around here
and he took pictures in the club, and
he posted that shit under my name
and it hasn’t gone anywhere since.
So pretty much if you can’t beat em,
join em, so you adapted the name?
Pretty much and it just kept happening
and kept happening. I wasn’t even
rapping at that time. So I would go to
the club, and I would take pictures and
they would post Boston George under
it and next thing you know...shit, I was
Boston George.
You’ve done alot of work with some
major players in the game, Boosie,
Jeezy, tell us a little bit about your career
and what you’ve done so far.
I started out, it’s a crazy story. Like I
said, me being in the streets, I had
alot of crazy shit happening in my life.
And one of my cousins told me “man
you outta rap bruh, everybody fuck
with you, you outta rap. I was like yeah
you right, fuck it, let’s rap. I was going
back and forth, up North and back, so
I had got hip to Yo Gotti’s music. So I
hit somebody who knew Yo Gotti and
asked him “Hey man I just want a feature
from him” and he was like “if you
can come up to Memphis now we can
do it.” I jumped in my Challenger and
drove and got the verse from Gotti,
Gotti was like “what’s your rap name?”
I was like “Shit, I ain’t got one yet.” He
was like “what’s your label?” I was like
“we ain’t thought about that part yet,
I just want a verse from you.” I had a
beat I had got on Soundclick, some
bullshit, he did the verse for it and I
came back to Houston like “shit, yea,
I’m gonna be a rapper.” So I went and
got records from Rick Ross and all types
of people, but never been in the booth
yet. When I came back to Houston to
actually rap, I didn’t know anything
about punch ins and ad libs, I thought
all that shit supposed to sound right
the first time I do it. And of course it
didn’t work like that, so when I did that
shit, and it didn’t sound right, I was like
“Fuck this rap shit” and I went and got
some artists, I found Killa Corleone,
and Marcus Manchild and I was behind
them, giving them the verses trying to
use that shit to get them up. And we
had a couple situations where Killa had
got hemmed up with the radio station,
dealing with the Trae the Truth situation
and then Marcus Manchild, he
just didn’t understand that in rap you
have to get out and work. He wanted
to do the rap, but didn’t like to mix and
mingle with people. I had played the
behind the scenes role for 3 4 years
just messing with them. But when the
shit didn’t pan out I was like fuck it. I’m
gonna try this shit myself again. And it
seems like ever since I got back people
been rocking with me.
With your label AMG, correct? Would
you go to that behind the scenes life
again?
That’s really the goal to me. AMG is
Authentic Music Group. I feel like I’m
more of the business man, more than
just an all out rapper. My idea is I want
to get in there, do my thing, tell my story,
and I also want to bring other artists
up. I want to build my brand, kind of
like Ross did and Birdman did. I want
to rap, but I want to create something
way bigger than just me being a rapper.
Speaking of working with other artists,
you currently have a project out
with Young Greatness. Can you tell us
how that came about?
Me and Greatness, that was a situation
where he was actually doing some
work with Jeezy and Jeezy heard some
of the records and said “I think it would
be dope if you did it with Boston, coz
Boston can be a little bit more hands
on, to get out there in the streets and
working with you. The Greatness situation,
I already knew Greatness from
bumping into him in studios and different
situations like that. When Jeezy
told him to send the record to me, they
sent the record to me. And we got together
and finished it. That’s how that
came about.
Tell me about going about your day to
day and hearing something tragic has
happened.
That was crazy. Me and him did that
record, we did that a year ago and I’d
been pushing it off and pushing it off.
He had a situation in the streets, he had

some other stuff going on, and I was on
my own building it up. And he called
me, 4 or 5 times like “when we gon put
that out man, when we put that out it’s
gon go crazy.” And I was like “fuck it,
let’s put it out.” And the craziest thing
is, right when we dropped it, he texted
me and was like “It’s everybody calling
me, let’s put everything to the side and
go crazy with the record.” And I was
like “let’s do it.” And right when we
were about to get it together, that shit
happened. And it’s tragic and it’s crazy.
But like he said, “we drop this shit and
everything going crazy.” It’s just sad
how it had to happen.
And what has been the response from
the record?
They love it. And the craziest part
is what I cannot understand for the
life of me, we dropped that record a
week ago, and maybe 2 weeks ago we
dropped the video right, all he wanted
wanted was for people to show him
some fucking love and do what they
doing now. I just can’t understand it,
we were good response, but it wasn’t
going crazy, now it seems like, now
homie done died, and you see all the
comments and all the shit that people
done sent me, like that shit’s unreal,-
like “that song is dope, bro that shit
super hard, coz Greatness would really
want you to push it.” I’m thinking to
myself, “why the fuck didn’t yall act like
this before this happened?”
my city who really represent and who I
seen trying to rap, and I’m gon get with
them and we’re gonna create a project
and I’ma show them that we can make
some noise with this music and I’m
gonna let them go and tell the hood
and tell their boys “that nigga Boston
a real nigga. That nigga came, pulled us
in, got us on Hip Hop Weekly, got us on
this, got us on that.” Coz they ain’t getting
that type of love, feel me. So I feel
like, we just created the love that I need
to start to build. Me and Slim Thug, we
have a project coming out called Big
Bad Boston and
the Boss. Street
Verified was
really just an
effort to combine
the street
and really start
something that
will be strong at
the end.
Tell me more about the Slim Thug
project. What’s the vibe on that?
It’s real southern street music. You
know Slim already got his vibe, he’s
Sugar Daddy Slim now. Slim gon always
be that H town sound. What I tried to
do was mix some of the newest shit
that I’m coming with with him and really
embrace it and open my path up
through Texas. Slim got a good Spanish
crowd and it’s crazy coz the fuck with
him so what I was trying to do is use
that project to stand me up through
and really fuck with the people who
fuck with Texas music. On this project
we got some hard ass records, we got a
song called “How we move” that I think
we’re gonna use as the single. It’s hard
as shit. It got a real good vibe do it.

I want to create something
way bigger than just me being
a rapper.
Right, the flowers always come after
the fact. Let’s talk about Street Verified
and what you were trying to accomplish
with it.
If you noticed, I did records with big
artists, and I did other stuff, but I realized
if you don’t build a core fan base
and you don’t plan a seed and let it
grow, you’re just everywhere. So I said,
I really already got my own sound, I
just don’t really embrace it. I don’t
come in and do records with niggas. I
don’t really fuck with these niggas really
that much. You see nothing but negative
come from that type of shit. With
this rap shit I never took it serious, so
I said, I’m gonna cross out all the stuff
I did in the past and I’m starting over
on October the 4th. So on October 4th,
Big Bag Boston was born. And I said I
was gonna get with some guys from

want
what I really really
“Men are from Mars, women are from-
Venus”, this best seller written by John
Gray, PHD has sold over 50 million copies.
The book suggests men are women
give and receive love differently and
suggests ways to improve communication
in a relationship. Happiness in not
a foreign concept, the key is to identify
and understand what the other person
wants and expects out of the union.
Me, I’m a firm believer of knowing
what it is that you want out of a situation.
If the goal is not identified, how
else would you know how to race?
I mean, it’s not like I’m asking for much
anyways...
#1
Pray For Me
In a relationship, I need our spiritual
goals to match. I need prayer
to be our go-to for everything. We
can’t get along? Let’s pray. Bills are
due and there’s no money? Let’s
pray. Can’t stand me right now, or
I did something that pissed you off
to the core? Don’t run to your boys
and tell them, you better face East,
talk to the one who made me, and
ask Him for advice on His creation.
#2
match my efforts
When I love, I love hard. So, in a relationship,
I’m going to go hard. It will
be my mission to keep you happy. I
will make sure that I put in full effort
to keep us connected. I will make
sure to put in quality time. Your enemies
will be mine. Your burdens
will be shared. I will be your rib. All
I need is for your focus to match my
focus, and for you to go just as hard
to make sure the relationship is as
great as it can be, and not just coast
on autopilot.
#3
be my biggest fan
Have you ever seen Jay-Z at a Beyoncé
concert? He’s in the crowd, with
his face lit up like a fan, he knows
every word- and even does the
moves. If you refer back to goal #2,
you already know I’m your biggest
fan if I’m asking you to be mine. If
you’re a fashion designer, I’ll be your
muse and your #1 model, like Kim is
to Kanye- allowing you to style me,
rocking your designs before I rock
any other name. If you’re an artist-
I’ll know every word, never miss a

#3
cont...
show, be front and center when you
take that stage. I’ll even ask you to
autograph my CD’s and be the 1st
one to cop your songs on iTunes. In
return, all I ask is for you to be my
biggest supporter. I’m a writer. You
better read my every word. You better
be the first one I send my articles
to. Not because I need you to help
me edit them, but because I know
you will stop everything you’re doing
and lend me the 5 minutes it will
take to read the words I’ve laid on
paper. Be the Jay-Z to my Beyoncé,
the Dwayne Wade to my Gabrielle
Union.
#4
respect my hustle
What I need from my man is to
recognize my skills, and match my
enthusiasm for my passion. I don’t
need you to treat my dreams like
they are mere hobbies. I should
be excited to tell you about my
dreams, my goals, my visions- and
you should be just as excited to
her me spill ‘em. There’s nothing
worse than to have to explain your
dreams, or convince your partner to
believe in you. Let’s hustle and work
together. Let’s be Jay-Z and Beyoncé
and combine our talents and go
on the run together. Be the Clyde
to my Bonnie. Let’s wear matching
boss suits and sign these checks together.
#5
protect my heart
No, my man is not always going to
know how to prevent my feelings
from being hurt. Especially with me
being a Gemini. To be real, I don’t
even know sometimes that a particular
incident or action might hurt or
upset me. But, knowing your woman
is knowing what buttons not to
push unless you want to see that
angry, petty, shady side of me. If I’ve
specifically laid out the list of things
that I don’t like, want, or particularly
care for, and you, as my man, specifically
do what I have just spoken
against, I’m going to assume that
you couldn’t care less about my feelings.
This will cause a major rift in
our relationship. I think as women,
we get it from God. Being built us
in His image and all. He gave Adam
and Eve everything they could ever
want, or need. In return, He asked
them one thing: not to touch the
Tree of Knowledge. What did Adam
and Eve do? They plucked the fruit
and ate it. That didn’t please God. In
fact, he kicked them out of His garden
and took away the sweet, easy,
happy-go-lucky life He once had in
store for them. Same scenario. As
my man, you are in my Garden of
Eden. In my garden, I promise you
love and joy, to submit to you as my
man, and to cater to you as my king.
But, I will also have my own Tree of
Knowledge (so to speak), that I will
ask you to abstain from. You get the
gist of my analogy...eat the fruits,
piss me off. It’s simple really.
#6
uplift my
spirit
This world has a million
and one ways to damper a person’s
spirit. As my man, don’t be a
part of the problem- be a part of
my solutions. Be the person I can
run to when my world is crashing,
when my skies are grey, when it’s
me against the world. Be there for
me, armed with unconditional love,
understanding, and encouraging
words. I battle depression and anxiety,
and let me tell you how wonderful
it is to have someone at your
side you can run to who you know
will be there to uplift you, to wrap
you in his arms and say, “Baby, let
me guide you out of this funk.” No
Prozac needed, my king is my medicine,
and it’s a wonderful feeling.
Call me a runaway bride/girlfriend/
friend, I don’t care. I don’t care. I
don’t care. Because I’m a runner, it’s
what I do. If it doesn’t make me happy,
I run. This may not be the healthiest
way to be, I’ll admit. But I truly
believe that I deserve, and can get,
everything it is that I want out of a
relationship- and I refuse to settle for
anything that doesn’t meet my standards,
or even attempt to. I’m not
perfect, but I chase perfection. I want
my love cup to runneth over. I chase
joy, peace, and love relentlessly, and
by golly I will not cease until I get it.
Weight in on this.
