The Game, 40 Glocc, and the Dead Battery in your Back.

First - that ass whoopin' -



The Game is... mercurial.  One second he loves you,the next we wants to tear your head off.  But well, when he wants to tear your head off, he tears that shit CLEAN OFF.  West Coast Rapper 40 Glocc found this out the hard way.  Rap is all good when it's just rap, but when you get ran up on outside of a Mansion Party for talking slick, chased through the bushes and molly whopped, things aren't so sweet.  So you'd think, with video evidence of you not keeping it as real as you claimed, you'd take a hint and sit the hell down somewhere.  You'd think.

Oh boy.  Now, let it be known 40 is vehemently denying any role in this, saying his IG was hacked.  Well it damn well better be!  But if he didn't have a history of Internets tough talk, this may not have been an issue at all.  I've seen a fair share of beat downs happen on the back end of calling someone out on social media (worldstar worldstar) and then you never hear the tough talk again.  Why?  Because getting beaten up hurts, and getting beaten up for the world to see leaves REAL SCARS man.  Which is why, whether it was truthful of not, this happened:

Damage control is essential to avoid an actual ass whoopin', especially one you've encountered before.  It's very, very easy to let social media give you the perception that you are who you advertise.  A Google search can make you as rich as you want, photoshop can make you as good looking as you want, and the fact that you can't be "touched" can make you feel invincible. You feel like you are who you create, and that battery in your back is rechargeable WITH the damn copper top! But you aren't.  You can be found, you can be approached, and you can be challenged at any point by anyone.  The easiest way to avoid these problems is to operate with the idea that you aren't Rocky, you aren't Bruce Lee, and you damn sure aren't Scarface.  If you weren't a tough guy or a boss prior to social media, it's best to maintain who you are and what you know.  All it takes is leaving your location on ONE TIME and it can be curtains for the character you built up.  Of course you can still get served, but well, people are less likely to advertise it to the world.

The moral of all this - operate within yourself, and you can avoid most ass whoopin' and 94% of ass whoopin'- related embarrassment.  Or... you can do things to perpetually end up looking like an ass:

Some people never learn.  They talk a big game while they hide in the... well, you know:
