I been getting the impression that alotta ppl who enjoy Juice remixes are looking for smth real. If I had to guess, it'd be smth along the lines of yearning to be him, becoming a real person. So naturally as I became aware of this, I figured I'd put you guys onto some game.

First rule of being real, do the most, do it well and don't ever apologize for doing it. If you love creating art, even if ppl don't get it atm and say shit about it, you can't let that leave an impression on you. If you love what you're doing, there's nothing to apologize for and nothing to feel ashamed of, no matter how much others try to misconstrue the situation. Second rule of being real is being loyal. And I don't mean no regular loyalty, no siree, I'm finna talk about real fidelity here. Never switch on your brothers no matter how bad shit gets. Never forget who was there for you when nobody else cared. Always discern who's really down to ride for you, and who's only there for the moment, for the opportunity. This distinction will guide you better than anything else in life. Ppl love to come around when they stand to profit, when they're lookin' for some of your magic to rub off on them and how that will make them appear to others. Don't give those type of ppl even an iota of attention. Ppl really be desperate asf for attention, for clout; they'll do anything to make themselves appear desirable. You can see em coming from a mile away, the easiest tell is when they want smth but have nothing to offer. This brings us to the third rule of being real, always offer smth before asking for smth. Nobody owes you shit in this world. So move with a lil bit of grace, it'll go a long way for the real ones. Cus real recognize real, never forget that. Being gracious, having manners, being kind is and will always be in vogue. You don't gotta be overly polite, but at the very least, embody this philosophy in your actions. The more you do for others, the more you get back. That's just straight facts, if you live to serve others out of a genuine desire, not out of bondage or servitude but out of free will, you just might touch someone's life. And if you do, your life might change more than you ever imagined. 

Why is it important to be real in the first place? On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could've become. Meaning every opportunity you didn't seize to be real asf will catch up to you. If you know how to be a brother, you know how to be real. You don't even have to have siblings to know how to be a brother; it's smth engrained in ppl that have empathy for others. The strongest men have empathy for others even when nobody has empathy for them. You can't excuse your lack of fidelity by the shit others have done to you. At the end of the day, nobody will see that. But they will see you for your actions, what you actually did with your time instead of just theorizing about. It's funny how we feel like we're constantly running out of time (at least if you're an existential, philosophical type of dude), until we realize we're not here for ourselves. If we're lucky in this life we find a greater story to be part of, smth to dedicate ourselves to that will stand the test of time. 

Here's the cherry on top. If you read this far, if you made even one notable Juice remix, you're part of a far greater story than you could ever imagine. And you're real asf too. You might not feel it yet. You might wonder when you'll start to feel real. That's hard to say cus it differs for everybody, but believe it or not, being aware of this is infinitely less important than pursuing it. The pursuit of realness, just like the process of creativity, is about the journey, not the ending. So it rly doesn't matter if you don't feel real or feel like an accomplished artist cus you may very well be that already or you might be on the right path to get there sooner than you think. Everything in life is a matter of the mind. If you think these things are impossibly difficult to achieve, then that's what it is. If you approach it without expectations, with only a genuine desire to better yourself, to be of service to others, to discover truths, to make the world less miserable than before you were here, that's all that matters. We can move mountains when our heart is in everything we do. We can be the antidote to addiction, to desperation, to vanity, to ego if we can step outside ourselves and realize we're not here for ourselves. All of us are on a mission, all of us have a story to tell, all of us are blessed. What distinguishes us is what we do with our time. Do we turn our suffering to art or wallow in our sorrows? The choice is always yours, just as the choice of being real is yours to make. We decide who we are in this world. Anything you wanna do, anybody you wanna be, is nothing more than imagining it. But rly imagine it. Use every crevice of your mind to imagine the most vivid realities, will it into existence, the future is yours.
