I believe everything chaka is saying here. the industry (and any industry) eats you alive because it turns HUMANS into a PRODUCT. this is the downside of capitalism. If you sell shoes, then you don't care about the feelings of the sneaker. the problem with your product being human is that you SHOULD care about the feelings of a human, but it is hard to do that when you look at them with dollar signs on their head. that is what she is referring to. sometimes you dont wanna do a concert, sometimes you dont wanna smile and be nice, sometimes you dont want to do an interview, sometimes you dont want to shake a hand or sign an autograph...
but if you dont do those things people get on you, they yell, they say youre an asshole, you lose fans, so you constantly have to do things you dont want to do. on top of that normal folk like us have friends and family we can go to, to escape our job or our work lives. these big time celebrities don't because everyone looks at them as a dollar sign. can you imagine the amount of pressure that comes with that?
can you imagine every time you go to the store people chase you and bother you and ask for pictures? can you imagine you just wanna have lunch with your daughter at a resturant and the chef, waitress, everyone eating in there, is taking your picture and coming up and bothering you. can you imagine not able to go anywhere without bodyguards because you can't get a second of peace?
then you have your aunt, cousin, uncle, childhood friends, always coming to you for money or problems, and then the one time you say no, they say fuck you?
this is why dmx and
no secret parties needed. fame is a motherfucker.

this is why dmx and whitney and kanye and all these people end up fucked up. this is why they "lose their mind."
its easy to say "oh kanye dont have real niggas around him" but how can you have real niggas around you when no one treats you like a normal person?
this is the shit chaka is talking about. fame/money can be more of a curse than a blessing. your whole relationship with the world gets warped and you really have no one that can really understand it unless they are famous too, or unless they are the most down to earth people in the world.
one easy escape is drugs. another easy escape is sex. that is why all these people do all this crazy stuff. most of the people in the thread here can't even take online shit talking without going all crazy and catching feelings. can you imagine if in your real life everywhere you went ppl were talking about you, prodding you, expecting things from you...
that is the "Devil" of the industry. that is the shit that eats you up. and then the second you not hot, ppl laugh at you. you no longer a human. you just a product and all this love and adulation and respect you thought you had, was all false. it wasn't shit. one wack song or wack album, and everyone laughing at you and calling you a wash out.
if i called you a bitch right now, you'd be upset and in your feelings. now imagine if you were meek mill and EVERY where you went people were laughing at you and calling you lame. like EVERYONE. EVERY SINGLE PERSON you encountered was laughing at you, like the way people were during that drake beef. that shit eats at a person's mind and soul.
you dont need no secret parties to realize that. you have to be ready to walk into that arena and deal with it, and only a few people can go through all that shit and remain sane.
that is the devil.
no secret parties needed. fame is a motherfucker.
Lot of that makes sense what you said. Buy sometimes people mean what they say literally. I had people tell me they was crazy jokingly and they really was crazy. Sometimes people subliminally tell you the truth by telling you directly. Hiding the truth in plain site. Then you have all these artist talking about selling their souls. It can't just be by happened chance. People say certain shit cause it seems to far fetched to be true. Demonic is a very strong word. So to describe something using that word is very bizarre, atleast to me.
Y'all niggas are truly fucking stupid if you think folks out here doing a seance for a gold or platinum record.

Its like you believe this type of thing to the point you want too I guess. Its just a certain type of mentality. Maybe young and impressionable. This type of thing has never interested me. "theilluminati" and all that conspiracy type of thing and even this, I dont believe in it at all as some type of "rituals" I just choose not to and dont care. Dont want to go on envisioning whatever. I guess if some people wanna be on this, it aint hurtin nothing. The movers will keep moving and really its not all mystical and mysterious. Unless it really reaches the point of delusion. This type of thing is nothing to me though but i get your point and pretty much agree.
