HOW
HUNGRY ARE YOU?
-By

Had
to share this, especially for the nitwit new TALENT out there…
Have
you ever seen Jimmy Jatt play? Outside the reputation being the earliest to
arrive any venue, he plays like it is his last gig. Like his life depends on
it.
His
skill seems to step up a notch with each performance. The crowds’ response is
often the undeniable affirmation that king DJ Jimmy Jatt has still got it.
Why
is this remarkable? Because Jimmy has been doing his thing for over 20 years
and his success has not slowed down his push for excellence. When he looks in
the mirror, the last thing he sees is a big boy who has arrived. He doesn’t
need to be affiliated to a label or radio station to get props, a self made
overachiever yet his hunger is scary.
The
most talked about player across the world this weekend is also the richest
(past and present) African footballer ever. He owns an entire telecoms network
in Cameroun. Yet the fire in his belly leaves him in form for a hat-trick.
Playing like he was being auditioned.
Now
you, how much have you done? Is this the zenith of your dreams? Are you easily
overwhelmed by the distance between where you started and where you are?
If
so, be careful. These things vanish in an instance. The spirit of the “big boy
is anti greatness” that is why most of the big boy comedians in Nigeria are
half as funny as these new comic acts. Why first albums are often always the
best albums.
That
is why 17 years later 2face is still eating with his grandchildren in music.
HUNGER…HUNGER makes the difference I ask again. How hungry are you?
