Life In The Game-Rico Brandi

Man I normally blog via MySpace but recently my homie Judah Irie (whom I've allwayz called by his personal nick name to me-General Leslie (pronounced as if spoken in Spanish) sent me a text with the web site http://www.ricobrandi.com/ . Rico is a old friend of mine. Rapper,Playa and a Pimp, Rico achieved in the game what is the equivalent of a MA and or Doctorate in the square world. Sadly my folkz was shot and paralyzed several weeks ago. Reading his blogs is what has prompted me to start my own. So I can follow his progress and give him what support I can. Unfortunately I have not been able to visit him. I've dealt the situation where the homie has been shot and the police will only allow family to visit and even know their location in the hospital. They put you under a pseudonym that only the family knows. That's cool I more than understand this. I hope the homie recovers quickly and regains his ability to walk. I've supported two homies thru rehab. The homie Marvelous who now walks well hindered only by a slight "playa's" limp and the homie Falo who is still combined to his chair. Perhaps Falo's injuries where to great but I also believe he could have gone much harder during his rehab phase. Go hard Rico Go Hard. The Game is a muthafucka. Especially now today. There is no more honor amongst thieves. The underworld is in chaos and snitches abound. Trust me if the Game was the same as it was in the mid 80's to early 90's i'd still be in it. Deep than a muthafugga. The shyt that happened to Rico is proof of this. Things are hard in Cali...niggaz is hungry and the scandalous reign supreme. I've seen to many real niggaz at war with each other or get taken out by suckaz. Yeah man them suckaz is deep. They walk talk and look like you and me but their actions expose them as less than solid individuals. At this tyme in my life im up against it financially. The streets are calling me every day but I let things such as Rico's tragedy,the homie Tab Doe's getting wrapped up and the former homie Pook (and im talkin about the Pook from down the way-he nolonger considered from the Jectz and never was a OCP memeber))turning snitch and sending alot of my real homies to the feds for long bids act as a warning to me. I'ma stay pushing this Hip-Hop and serving my community like I've been doing for the past 10 years. Like I said the Game is a mutha fucka......get well soon Rico
