I don't think Corey is afraid of big success because big success means holding your tongue on certain issues. In order to get to that next level you do have to play nice with certain groups and I'll give Corey credit he isn't willing to do that for mainstream success. He talks shit about everybody. You can't diss Jamie Foxx and expect Hollywood to call you for acting roles. He'll never get to that NEXT level because he's not willing to play the game.
That irony of that is, we do this shit everyday in life. There are a lot of things we'd want to say to certain people that we do not for one reason or another.
But you better not hold your tongue for a big check. You better not take SHIT for a big opportunity! You can only hold your tongue for free, or to keep your job.
Nobody tells a regular man to go on his job and just say whatever pop into his head. Nobody tell the common man that he shouldn't change some of his less than polished ways while on a job interview. Its encouraged!
But, Lord knows .... you do it for a big pay-day, and niggas will swear you sold your soul to get it.
Ultimately, its all crab-minded thinking.
You can climb high, but you can only do it this way.
But nigga get treated like crap on low-paying jobs and people understand. Yeah they understand, because they're comfortable with the level you're on.
I noticed this some years ago, and it just further confirmed you have to live your own life, because everybody have their own agenda and opinion about what you're doing.
Now, I'm not saying do ANYTHING to get paid. . .
. . . I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies.
