Now Playing: The Ride - Drake ft. The Weeknd

I usually don't blog too often as most of you know but today I woke up and just decided to give it a run....

I listen to The Weeknd, ALOT. Not only because he's considered habesha and I think his music is sick but......I think I can relate to him a bit....

No i am not a pill poppin, henny sippin, and mary jane blowing person, but i think i can relate to him in a mental phase. For all my eritrean/ethopian readers right now think about this, why doesn't The Weeknd show his culture out to the public? He's a lowkey and underground person, i understand that, but at the same time, think about this......why should he?


The Weeknd lives the big life that some of us want, some don't, but the life that habesha people fear.......and thats pretty fucked up if you ask me. A typical habesha man is suppose to become either a doctor or business man, have kids and a wife and live the way our habesha CULTURE WANTS and not what some people actually want.....thats pretty fucked up. I only date habesha women, i'll come out and say that, but our culture is composed of the most judgemental human beings on the face of the earth....deal with it. Going back to what I was saying, don't you find it messed up that the life that somebody enjoys and makes his career off of is hated?




The Weeknd has a selected few amount of people he keeps close tides with, pretty much his crew. Want to know something funny? None of them are ethopian or eritrean at all...mainly because those people just live life instead of having to be accepted by their cultures..




I'm not writing this blog to go against my culture....i love being eritrean till the day i die, but i hate our cultures mindset. . . .




Why should a child be born into a culture that hates you for living YOUR life the way you want?





To most extent, I wouldn't blame The Weeknd one bit if he went the rest of his career never saying anything about him being ethopian...i just wont. He lives the life that our culture would hate for individuals of his age, instead of going to school to be a doctor, he's making music that he wants to keep making for the rest of his life. He apparently doesnt fit into our habesha fold because he's not doing what somebody else wants him to do....that's fucked up.


The last thing i want you all to ponder on is this.......most of you know i want to become a sports broadcaster and i am pretty good at it....if i suddenly became famous on TV and Radio throughout the entire world, i would be in the same boat as The Weeknd.....not because we'd both be famous, but because we both enjoy living lives that our culture thinks we shouldnt. thats fucked up......
