Being a rapper was one of Rhodri's life goals. Before reaching his current situation, he worked hard to achieve this goal and he achieved it by all means. He started out as just a neighborhood singer who expressed the good things about the simple life in his songs. This resonated with the public and helped him quickly rise to the top. He made good rhymes that went viral, and more and more people recognized him for his natural, straightforward style, which he used to explain both the good and the bad in his surroundings through his songs. Many big rappers noticed his potential, so some invited him to sing with them or release songs together.
It didn't take long, and he had already surpassed many of them in popularity. That's literally what it means to be a rising star. But you have to be mindful because sometimes stars can be fleeting and fade while you're still contemplating them. When he reached that peak, something began to change within him. His simple, natural style gradually turned into a slight pride. He didn't make it too noticeable yet, but it was already beginning. He changed his initial friendships, the ones that motivated him to be a good person, because they praised the good things he did but also criticized the bad things he did.
Ser rapero era uno de los objetivos de vida de Rhodri. Antes de llegar a su situación actual el se esforzó mucho alcanzar esta meta y lo logró con todas las de la ley. Empezó siendo solo un cantante de barrio que expresaba en sus canciones las cosas buenas de la vida sencilla. Eso pegó con el público y le ayudó a subir rápidamente de nivel. Hacia buenas rimas que se fueron haciendo virales y cada vez más gente lo conocía por su estilo natural y sin rodeos en lo que explicaba mediante esas canciones tanto lo bueno como lo malo de lo que le rodeaba. Muchos grandes raperos notaron su potencial así que algunos lo invitaron a cantar con ellos o lanzar canciones juntos.
No tardó mucho y ya había superado a muchos de ellos en popularidad. Es literalmente lo que significa ser una estrella en ascenso. Pero hay que tener cuenta porque a veces las estrellas pueden ser fugaces y apagarse cuando aún las estás contemplando. Cuando el llegó a ese punto alto algo fue cambiando dentro de el. Su estilo sencillo y natural se fue convirtiendo en un orgullo leve. Aún no lo hacia notar demasiado pero ya estaba comenzando. Cambió sus amistades iníciales, las que lo motivaban a ser una buena persona, porque felicitaban lo bueno que hacia pero también criticaban lo malo que hiciera.
His growing pride made him seek out friends who would simply tell him how good he was at what he did and not call him out for the less-than-perfect things he did or conveyed in his music. This was one of his first big mistakes, and perhaps the one that caused his rising star to begin to fall. These new friends he surrounded himself with began to praise him for everything he did, regardless of whether it was good or bad. This affected the quality of his songs, because he no longer had critical perspectives to tell him what to improve. They only told him that he was fine and that if he liked it, people would be interested too.
They did this primarily to gain his friendship and receive financial benefits from him. They also bought and squandered his fortune buying things for everyone that Rhodri didn't need. The quality of his music was rapidly declining, and his popularity was seriously affected. But those friends continued to stalk him with their prideful advice and tell him he was the best. No one told him the truth for fear of losing their benefits. The lyrics of his music became dark, and what once expressed the positive reality of the street now revolved only around harmful themes.
Su orgullo creciente le hizo buscar amigos que solo le dijeran lo bueno que era en lo que hacia y que no le estuvieran llamando la atención por las cosas no tan correctas que hacia o transmitía en la música. Ese fue uno de sus primero grandes errores, y quizás el que hizo que su estrella ascendente comenzara a caer. Estas amistades nuevas de las que se rodeó comenzaron a felicitarlo por todo lo que hacía, sin importar si era bueno o malo. Esto afectó la calidad de sus canciones, porque ya no tenía puntos de vista críticos que le dijeran que mejorar. Ellos solo le decían que estaba bien y que si al le gustaba a la gente también le interesaría.
Lo hacían principalmente para ganarse su amistad y poder recibir beneficios económicos de su parte. Además compraban y despilfarraban su fortuna comprando cosa para todos que Rhodri no necesitaba. La calidad su música fue descendiendo rápidamente, y su popularidad se estaba viendo afectada seriamente. Pero esos amigos seguían segándolo con sus consejos de orgullo y diciéndole que era el mejor. Nadie le decía la verdad por temor a perder sus beneficios. La letra de su música se volví oscura y lo que una vez expresaba la realidad positiva de la calle ahora solo giraba en temas perjudiciales.
It wasn't long before he started having legal problems. His squandering of money had seriously affected his business. His new music wasn't popular anymore; he had strayed too far from who he once was. And the saddest thing was that he didn't have a single true friend to help him. His career collapsed while he was at its peak. He went from being a renowned rapper to someone everyone knew as the one to avoid. Once he fell from grace, all those so-called friends ran off with other singers because they no longer saw the opportunity to benefit financially from him.
He was literally left alone and broke. He realized he had made many mistakes, and it was all because he surrounded himself with the wrong people. If he had stuck with his initial friends, the true friends who weren't there for the money but to help him wouldn't have ended up the way he did. But when he least expected it, all those friends were back again to support him. He wasn't rich anymore, nor did he have a thriving career, just debt. But they were there regardless of those details, they just wanted to support him in that difficult moment.
No pasó mucho y ya comenzó a tener problemas legales. El despilfarro de dinero que llevaba había afectado seriamente sus negocios. Su nueva música ya no gustaba, se había alejado demasiado de que una vez el fue. Y lo más triste es que no tenia un verdadero amigo que lo ayudara. Su carrera quebró estando en lo más alto. Pasó de ser un rapero reconocido a al que todos conocen como el que deben evitar. Una vez que calló en desgracia todos esos supuestos amigos se fueron con otros cantantes, porque ya no veían la oportunidad de beneficiarse económicamente de el.
Literalmente se quedó solo y arruinado. Se dio cuenta de que había cometido muchos errores, y todo fue por culpa de rodearse de las personas no indicadas. Si se hubiera mantenido con sus amigos iníciales, los verdaderos amigos que no estaban ahí por el dinero sino para ayudarlo no hubiera acabado como terminó. Pero cuando menos se lo esperaba ahí estaban todos esos amigos de nuevo para apoyarlo. El ya no era rico, ni tampoco tenía una carrera en auge, solo deudas. Pero ellos estaban ahí sin importar esos detalles, solo querían apoyarlo en ese momento duro.
He wept bitterly because admitting all this was very hard, and it was also hard to know how badly he had treated his true friends. But they had already forgiven him for even saying anything to them. They only wanted his well-being. With their help and advice, he wants to return to music and become a successful rapper again. And they tell him it will be possible for him to have no doubts about that. Just surround himself with the right people next time, and your success, although not guaranteed, will be more possible.
Lloró amargamente porque reconocer todo esto fue muy duro, también fue duro saber lo mal que había tratado a sus verdaderos amigos. Pero ellos ya lo habían perdonado incluso de el decirles nada. Solo querían su bien. Con su ayuda y consejos el quiere regresar a la música y ser un rapero de éxito de nuevo. Y ellos le dicen que será posible que no tenga dudas de eso. Solo que para la próxima se rodee de las personas indicadas y tu éxito aunque no seguro será más posible.
