Okkkkk….sooooo…I was thinking…” welp, it’s finally reached this point…the “documentary” point”. Usually, documentaries are released after something tragic has happened, some kinda fiasco, something or someone has been “exposed”, or even … (I hate to say it…but…) death. Sooo when I was feeling financially confident in my budget…I went to my AMAZON PRIME account …ready to BALL OUT…well…more like…buy or rent something new. That’s when I came across “UNTRAPPED”. I initially thought it read “Unwrapped”…and I was ok with that. I enjoyed that show, with the host from Double Dare. (*I forget his name… But tag him in the comments please) The title of this documentary was “UNTRAPPED”, and I saw LIL BABY listed in the cast. My anxiety kicked in fast as hell, and I frantically googled LIL BABY…. just to confirm he was good…and yes…he was and is GREAT!!!!
I was expecting the stereotypical documentary storyline, set drops, and character confirmations from…women from the past and present, old bitter friends who hold 20-year-old grudges, the person who wants to “expose” the “real”, or anyone who isn’t creditable… but still attempts to discredit the main character of the documentary.
Without spoiling “UNTRAPPED” …I will let you know… THIS AIN’T THAT!!!! WHOAAAAA …. from the first 5 mins…the director has already grabbed your attention and RESPECT for LIL BABY. Imagine it only taking a min to solidify your character, personality, integrity…and genuinely earned RESPECT (*if you have any…some of Ya’ll don’t)! Ughhhhhh there’s soooo much I would love to tell you…but I won’t because…this documentary is worth watching.
We all know LIL BABY (not personally, but you know what I mean), and he seems like a chill dude. This documentary focuses more on who he really is aka DOMINIQUE, and how he was and really is about “that life”. Meaning…he’s not a manufactured rapper (like some people we know), he wasn’t created in a lab. He was created from his upbringing, social society setbacks, the streets, and most importantly …the DRIVE…even before music he had a DRIVE. To get it…and I mean GET IT GET IT!!!!
LIL BABY…damn I gotta lil tear in my eye thinking about this man, and how hard he pushed himself. It proves that at some point…if you’re given an opportunity…and I mean a genuine opportunity, that comes with the necessary tools needed to better your life…(*I’m not talking about somebody helping you scam, or a free pack, or anything that’ll get you locked up …duhhh) DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE all have fears, and we usually create our own self-doubts…our subconscious minds, are often our biggest enemies. LIL BABY admitted he didn’t have that self-confidence to rap…he had never done it before…but he used his realistic wisdom, with his struggles…and he learned how to paint a verbal picture and articulate his real life…with words…. he did it …because he wanted to show his kids…they can do anything!
LIL BABY made multiple valid points about life, and parenting. Sharing with us that our kids watch everything we do…and when they see us doing great things, they will often want to imitate them, but when we fuck up…we must be careful, because they will want to imitate that as well. (*which is exactly why I set boundaries to protect my children from certain people , situations, and even from my many past mistakes in life)
There are soooo many moments in “UNTRAPPED” that are full of high vibrations and powerful paradigm shifts …but I think seeing LIL BABY opening up his own bills ,in his own house… was mind blowing to me! This man was ripping those bills open as if he was a “regular man”, with a 9-5!(*I just assumed maybe an assistant did that…but wait til you see him do it.) It’s crazy how everything happens and when it happens…but then again…”PERFECT TIMING”…is a CLASSIC!
Check out “UNTRAPPED” with LIL BABY on AMAZON PRIME!! I promise you , it’ll make you want to really pursue your dreams, or even awaken a new talent you never thought existed! (S/0 to Drew…I hope he goes for it ) XOXO
