 “FAKE HOLLYWOOD”© ADDRESSES DMV EGOTISM

 

Tired of seeing the ever growing egotism that can, most times, fuel industry beef? One person in the DMV has seen the change in atmosphere amongst the DMV music scene and has been causing a little commotion with the blog entry “The Epidemic” on http://fakehollywood1.blogspot.com. Here is an excerpt from the blog post:

 

“It’s great to finally see the DMV make very major strides over the past 3 years I’ve been living in the area. Coming from western Pennsylvania, I know what it is like waiting for that moment to put your home turf on something other than the geographical map. However, what has always stood out to me about the DC music scene is the delusional world of local celebrities and others who are changing their attitudes because of the little light that is being bestowed upon them. Yep, this is what I call the “Fake Hollywood.” And, I’m sure it’s not only happening in the nation’s capital…bet, it’s a widespread epidemic. 

Fake Hollywood consists of those who believe they are getting more shine than usual and have allowed it to go to their heads—in turn, clouding their reality of the current situation. Some of you are probably sitting there saying, “She’s just a hater, she’s jealous, she’s this, she’s that, etc, etc, etc.” Like Jay Z says, I can’t knock the hustle. But, what I will knock is how I’ve witnessed many people change up because of this so-called glamour life. Simply put: People are forgetting to take their humbleness with them. 

For example, this is what someone (won’t mention any names for the sake of not putting people personally on blast) posted on twitter the other day: “ I think I'm about to just start getting superstar arrogant on bamas and shut they whole sh#% down immediately. Ahaha!” 

No, it doesn’t stop here. The DC Hip-Hop mover and shaker goes on to say…

“In the meantime...let's talk about these 67 pull-ups I just did in my draws while somebody is at work w/soggy socks and slippery shoes on” 

Most of the people who are REALLY doing something in the DC music scene are winning major awards—like Grammy nominations, SEA awards, numerous shows, etc. You don’t hear these people talking about how arrogant they will become or visibly see how they change up. They stay grounded and humble. Less talking means more progress. Oh, and did I mention that they don’t try to fit in with the perceived popular? They are comfortable with themselves—relying only on their skills and talent. Not someone else’s success or coattails. They don’t produce a few mixtapes, a few tracks, pop up on a few blogs, and stake claim to how they are “taking over.” The best part, they don’t try to follow the Hollywood status model (which doesn’t work for most people anyway).”
