Pharrell on Being an “Odd” Kid

“I’ve always been the kid who didn’t fit in the box, the one who grew up in the projects of Virginia Beach wearing Led Zeppelin T-shirts and playing drums in a hip-hop band.”

So often, young people are distubed by the fact that they don’t “fit in”, or they may be different from their peers, but for Pharrell, being different is a quality that led to his success.

Pharrell surrounds himself with ….

If you haven’t seen this already, check out this video, of Charleston, SC’s own Darius Rucker joining Wando High School teen on stage during a talent show. 16 year-old Frankie Antonelli’s mom describe her son per the Post & Courier:

“He’s happy, he’s healthy, he’s funny, he’s athletic … he is sweet and he is handsome,” she said. “He just happens to have Down syndrome. It doesn’t define who he is. He is uninhibited and he loves to perform.”

This is a great video!

The Value of the African American $$$

I could go into detail about why I decided to write this article, but I quickly realized it doesnt matter because at the end of the day, as an entrepreneur, you have the right to target whatever market you choose to. However, if you are a future business mogul like myself (smirks), I want each of you to think about how important the African American Dollar is to you and your business. So, before you jump and run off into the wind chasing after customers, think wisely and don’t be so quick to judge the importance and the value of the African-American Dollar. Here are some facts:

Kanye’s Confederate Flag Gear – In Yo Face South Carolina!

Yes, seems like Kanye has been the topic of conversation for about 10 weeks in a row, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder, Kanye gives you a new dose of weird. If you haven’t seen them by now, Kanye is on tour, and so are his line of Confederate Flag shirts. Yes! Kanye’s line of confederate flag shirts are now more controversial than Kanye himself. The flag, skull, and phrase “Never Coming Down” has some people shaking their heads and has others pulling out their wallets.

Kanye says: “React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. You know the confederate flag represented slavery in a way — that’s my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now. Now what are you going to do?”

The Huffington Post has recently reported that Kanye is not only selling at his concerts, but he has opened up a pop-up shop in L.A. full of confederate flag gear.

The most interesting part of the shirt is the phrase, “Never Coming Down”. As a resident of South Carolina, I feel like that’s a direct hit to our state, seeing as though people have been trying for quite some time for the Statehouse to remove the flag from the property. As of this day, the flag remains there, so that phrase definitely resonates with our state.

At the end of the day, Kanye now says it’s HIS flag now, so hell….let Kanye be great dammit.
