I'm happy for him!

When I was a kid, I had a friend, he was the cool kid in school, and he had a younger brother who was in my sister's class. We knew each other for years and then went our own ways.

Yesterday, I bumped into the younger brother - he is now a successful hip-hop singer in NZ and he still remembered me - hes done really well in his chosen profession and he is still the same person I remember - it hasn't gone to his head.

We grew up in a bad neighbourhood - he turned that around and made something out of himself, unlike other people he hung around with. I am really proud of him for doing so well and staying the same person he is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribe_(rapper) - this is him.

How cool!!!! Really good to see when folks make a success of themselves after a rough start - big respect to this young guy!!

Nice to hear that he still has his feet on the ground despite all the success- I'll have to check out his tunes
The best bit of the Wiki entry has to be that one of his songs iis:

the official theme tune of Celtic Crusaders rugby league club in Wales.

I don't care how big they are as a club, if I wrote I song I'd be well chuffed at that

thats so great!!

Kellye, that really is great! Good for him for going on to success in the music industry (it's a tough industry!), and especially for keeping his head about him and remembering where he came from

That's great! I love it when musicians stay true to themselves and to their fans even when they do become famous. A band from my city is becoming quite well known across the country and has videos on Much Music, but they're still the people we always knew.

Oh yeah! I can say I got hugged by a singer. My niece was all giggly when she met him (she's 10) and I said to her that it was her mother's ex boyfriend - she loved that.

I'll bet she's looking at her mother with newfound respect! It's nice to hear that somebody who's had such success has remained down to earth.

That is awesome, good for him

That is cool!

That is pretty cool!
