As one who has hired and fired several young people after failed "experiments in trying to do good," I assure you that committment and a strong work ethic are not common traits any more. I don't care if it's "I'll perform at NHHS at 9 PM" or "I'll be to work at 8 AM," far too large a portion of our population fails to recognize the importance of doing what you say when you say you'll do it. I don't care if they're Black, White, or purple, I'm sick and tired of employees who cannot speak, cannot write, don't know how to dress, and most of all, can't be to work on time. The second absence with sob-story earns them a one-way trip to the exit door. Lil' Wayne is simply a guy who got lucky and made it quasi-big. The character flaws that plague his generation are still resident inside him.
