KDD: I`ve always written a lot, ever since i can remember. Poems, short stories, songs and basically my feelings, exactly how i felt when i felt a strong emotion, i had to put it on paper and read it out loud to myself.im born with that need. So when it came to a point in my life when i had to stay at home for a while after a surgery i went thru, i googled hip hop and found a community where you could choose category of whom you are in hip hop, i chose rapper. and it all started with recording from there, my first recording was called suicide thoughts. hehe

KIM KARDASHIAN:THE JOURNEY OF A HUSTLER

http://test.skimlinks.com










Back in the days, i knew Kim Kardashian as a pretty young girl identified as a socialite that used to roll with Paris Hilton another socialite that made the word socialite famous, socialites to me was just a developed definition of groupies because they share similar qualities. Back then Paris Hilton was the "Belle of the Ball" she was everywhere and doing everything including being involved in a sextape that increased her fame, the tape was released shortly before her reality show "The Simple Life" came on air and this helped the initial success of the show. Now let us be dumb and agree its a co-incidence that Kim who was a close friend of Paris at that time also had a leaked  sex-tape the same year her reality TV show started in 2007. Vivid entertainment bought her sex tape and distributed it, they also gave her a 5 million dollars settlement after a lawsuit she filed against them, giving her the fame and the money needed to start her reality TV on E! but mind you we are not allowed to call these chicks  porn stars! no we cant do that LOL!, Kim got paid even higher than other porn stars, so lets just say she is a socialite that sold a sex tape. Today she has out shined Paris Hilton and all the other chicks she used to roll with, she always knew she would, she is a strategist, a brilliant one, lets not forget she is an offspring of one of Americas brilliant lawyers turn businessman, people are easily carried away by her calmness and her beauty, but Kim is a female that thinks like a male HUSTLER. Her outward softness is her "Joker" card, no soft girl can achieve what she has achieved, she been through a lot, the softness is a natural gift from God but dont get it twisted, she plays hard ball.

Kim was born to be a star, you can tell from her style and grace, her beauty and the sexy physic that has made Kanye West go against all odds to be her baby daddy, as much as she was born for this life this girl worked her way to the top, with extra hard work, she dint just sit down and the fame came to her, she hustled hard, she did everything within her powers to get there, Lets again assume that it was a mistake her sex-tape got leaked, but it happened to be with a superstar adding to her resume as a high roller, at the same time her sexual prowess was exposed to the world giving her admirers and internet perverts something to dream and fantasize about, she dint stop there, she continued hobnobbing with the crème de la crème of society, making appearances at events and parties aside her ongoing TV show. Beneath the beautiful charm Kim possesses, lies a die hard go getter drive, a get rich or die trying hustler who would stop at nothing for fame. I guess hard work pays off, Kim is finally there, where she wants to be, the center of attention, with million dollar endorsements and other business enterprise, she is climbing the success chart everyday inspite of critics taking shots at her, she takes it all in smiles teasing reporters and journalist with her soft and calm disposition plus her ever cheerful smiling face, she seems soft on the outside but Kim is a strong woman with ambition solid as a rock, the Kim we see is not the Kim she sees when she looks at the mirror, she sees a ruler, a "mob boss" running things with one of the best and most reliable gang one can ever have, FAMILY.

In 2000, as early as when she was 20 she got married to Damon Thomas a music producer and in 2004 divorced him, it is said that her sex-tape was made in 2003 meaning she was still legally married when it was made, it is not wonder now that she is still legally married and she is pregnant with Kanye's baby, i am citing this out so that ladies out there would know that this girl has come a long way,she been there and done that, she gained maturity when some other chicks were still trying to get a college degree or define their lives, she has been in the socialite circle and has dated notable people aside Ray J like Reggie Bush an NFL player. Miles Austin, another NFL player, Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey's current husband, and Gabriel Aubry a Canadian model. In 2011 she married Chris Humphries an NBA player and their wedding lasted for two months and ten days, now they are separated and Chris is claiming that Kim scammed him into the wedding, INTERESTING! But what is more interesting is how she chooses her men, always going where the money and fame is, whats wrong with dating a nameless wall street dude? Hmm! No hype! Well now she is going to have a baby for Kanye, Kanye whom his ex girlfriend Amber Rose in an Interview uploaded on YouTube describes him as a " Total Dick" for his negative remarks about her after their break up,Amber Rose now engaged to rapper Whiz Khalifa and they recently had a baby. Kanye is way more expressive than Kim's previous boyfriends and i really do wish them all the best and hope they live happily ever after but if "It all falls down" for Kim and Kanye, there is gonna be so much drama unfolding. Lets keep our fingers crossed and wish for the best for KIMYE.
