Farms: Anderson .Paak on Being Homeless, Working as Weed Trimmer Before Dre
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Before his fame, Anderson .Paak was getting money working on a legal marijuana farm trimming freshly grown herbs. As the seasons changed and his job decided to downsize, all the extra cash had gone out the window and at 24, with his pregnant wife, he found himself homeless. "I lost the job as a trimmer, and so I had nowhere to go. Now, I had a family to support, but I didn't have shelter." He told DJ Vlad, "I was homeless, yea, I was staying from couch to couch." Fortunately for the musician, he got gigs in between, but he admits that his wife did ride him about getting the necessities, like a car since they were living in L.A. Once his life stabilized, and he found himself back on his feet, he says he readjusted his lifestyle and changed his name in the process. "Once I got on my feet, I started simplifying my life and developed a routine, and that was a time I changed my name from Breezy Lovejoy to Anderson .Paak." He said. "I went into this whole process where I was going to simplify my life and build a routine and develop a healthy work ethic."

That's a real woman, a woman who will be there and support your dreams and sacrifice because she knows that your dream, of its big enough could set both of you up for life. I need a Korean woman because these American bitches are being trained by the evil Kardashians to be worthless gold digging, wanna be independent, I can take care of myself, I'm one step from being a lesbian, i can go to the sperm bank, fuck being there for her man and lifting him up with just being there and not criticizing him, fucking a dude because he drives a Challenger, got a condo in Diamond Bar and she'll suck his dick, while you working hard but she's working hard on this mans dick because the grass might be greener, baller for now wanting, no faith in the future of wealth you could've had, not wanting to build an empire together ass BITCHES!!!

Love Anderson but these questions were downright condescending. Why you gotta give Paak trouble for pursuing music? He obviously made the right moves in the end, or you wouldn't be there asking him these silly ass questions in the first place
