| Posted 7/4/2011 10:51 AM (GMT -6) |   | | Check out this video. WARNING: It has cuss words. It's not overwhelming but it shows the despair.
It's by Drake. He's a great artist and actor that is now suffering from success. His appeal has been his characteristic transparency and authenticity. He always raps from where he is in life. So, with that in mind I saw the video.
He's a good example of a person who sought "eternal happiness" in creaturely success...and has found that he is losing his soul and trapping himself by own choices. He is ashamed. And God is no where in the picture. God is not there for him to "put this weight on."
What does it profit a man to gain the world...and lose his soul?

"Successful"
Now he's on one. (Cussin')
The deceitfulness of riches and fame...

Drake in 2011. Hear the cynicism. But beautifully articulated. " Trust Issues"
Success...
