Human beings love a good blooper. They feel everything recorded on video (specifically) is celebrity, worship-level, and that it tells a story of perfection. When celebs flub on video, it's been bigger, because they themselves are already seen as worship-level perfection. Granted it's how one bounces back from such flub that determines one's future. Regardless, if it's on tape, it lives forever in the minds and hearts of the ignorant.
There's some video of MC Lyte falling on stage. The comments are there. The thing that bothers me is, Lyte never took an L, EVER. So, to be a 40 year veteran and to only slip on stage ONCE is a big thing. I remember recently BDK (Big Daddy Kane) was performing and tried to do his signature spin and split. He JUST BARELY pulled it off, and it wasn't pretty. Has he fallen off? Do his bars no longer matter? His impact? All that ... is it gone?
I'm able to speak on this, because my viral moment of mayhem went viral again. To me, the video isn't that serious. I said what I said, she reacted, moment. But there's still little random dickheads who say she punched me out of a career. Petty shit aside, I didn't stop doing anything I was already doing, ESPECIALLY not because of the video. And I didn't say anything misogynist in my verse, so it's just kids looking for a rise outta me.
Well, here's a post.
Leave me and Lyte alone, ya heard???
We are aliens with emotions. Or humans with alien powers.
And some of us are slaves.
