Welcome To The Spacey Mind Of Status

What's good ya'll, It's ya boy Tone Status. If you know me, you know my mind is in tune with the moons and stars. For those of you who don't know me,let me give ya'll a little background on me and who I am.
Tone Status- I'm an Actor/Rapper/Ghostwriter/Lover/Fighter/Winner/ etc... Im basically a Renaissance man. I do it all, and I do it all at a high level. Im a Harlem,NY native, and I lived in the Bronx and Orlando at times too.
I've done everything from Broadway Plays to Feature Films. My biggest role was probably my role in Killa Season. This movie is a hood classic!!! Eventhough I got thrown in a truck with rats, I loved every minute of shooting this film. A lot of people had jokes for me, when they saw the film. I loved that part of the film too. Only a stand-up guy like myself,could take on a role like that, and remained respected. I remember being in L.A. @ Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, a couple weeks after the movie hit the streets. I was on the West Coast for a music conference(ASCAP). So its, me,my man Kev from DC, and this female I probably knew for like 2 days we're walkin into the famous eatery. We hopped out this white Dodge Charger(When Charger's were hot,lol). The block is saturated with gangbangers, so once they seen the Charger, they was already watching. I done been in LA before,so I know bout all the rules(colors,how to where your hat,3 second rule etc....),so them grilling me aint bother me @ all. Its like 10 dudes looking at us, but this one dude in particular, really icing me. I walk in da spot, Kev mad nervous(lol), and the chic panicing saying "we shouldn't have drove all the way over here for some fuckin waffles"(lmfao). I'm the only one unphased, i'm telling them to just chill and order their food,"them dudes ain't worried bout u,why ya'll worried with them?" They calm down, we all order our meals. As I start to bite my chicken, Kev is like"oh shit! 4 of them dudes is walking in here." Im like "maybe they want some chicken." The chic is like "them dudes want ya car keys." Now my dude Kev aint no street nigga like that and I don't know this chic from a hole in the wall, so know i'm gettin a little nervous. I'm thinking if anything go down, its gonna be me versus the whole set(Lol). So I keep eating, the dudes approach my table. "Im like what up?" One of the dudes is like "Nigga where you from, I know you from somewhere!" Im like "I doubt you know me, I'm from Harlem, NY homie. The crew then order some food and sit at the table next to us. The whole time Im eating these dudes is just looking @ me and talking to each other, arguing over where they know me from(lol). They didn't pose no serious threat to me, so I kept eating. Kev suprisingly kept his composure,I thought he was gonna shit his pants,(lmfao). So we finaly finish our food, as I leave the table, I stop at the gangsters' table. I give them on all pounds and tell them to stay up. I While i'm at the table, the one that was looking at me the hardest was giving me this look like i killed one of his homies in adrive-by. He stands up and says "aye I know where we know this nigga from." In my mind, im like aww shit I got a twin in LA that done killed one of their peoples. The kid then says "this that nigga from Killa Season that tried to take over Cam block and got stuffed in da trunk. They all like "oh shit!!!!!!" and they started showing me mad love. Till this day, they keep in touch with me, sout to da Slauson Street Stunnas'. That was a long story,I know,but I love telling it. That's it for now

Haha! Just goes to show you that you should never jump to conclusions about people. Mama always said don't be afraid of your own Black people. It's the white people that are ready to chop you up into little peices and eat you! Lolz. Great story!
