So many people talk about being "real." But what exactly does that mean? Is it taking care of your family? Following a certain code of the streets? Or simply being a person that carries themselves with honor?
DJ Smallz Eyes correspondent Ayisha caught up with Kid Ink to get his definition.
"The definition of being real--just doing what you wanna do," Kid said. "Not really focusing on what everyone else has to say. Whether it be your craft or your mindset. Day to day just going what you gotta do to speak to the people you need to speak to."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — His career winding down to its final seconds, Floyd Mayweather Jr. took a victory lap around the ring, his fist raised in triumph.
After 19 years of perfection in the ring, he deserved one final bow.
Mayweather capped a remarkable career with a typical Mayweather fight Saturday night, using his defensive wizardry to frustrate Andre Berto on his way to a decision so lopsided one judge gave him every round.
The $32 million he earned was pocket change compared to what he got for Manny Pacquiao in his last fight. But the more important number was win No. 49 in the final fight of his unblemished career, tying the mark of the late heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano.
"You gotta know when to go. I've had a great career," Mayweather said. "I'm leaving with all my faculties. I feel like I'm smart and sharp."
Mayweather wasn't about to change what he does best in his last fight.
Both dominant and defensive, he used all the tricks learned in a pro career that began in 1996 to take a unanimous decision over Berto and retain his welterweight titles in what he insists was his final fight.
Mayweather won yet again in a fight where he was chased but never really tested. He piled up points with a sharp jab and quick counter punches, leaving Berto swinging at air most of the night.
"What can I say, I was the better man tonight," Mayweather said.
By the late rounds, Mayweather was both talking to Berto (30-4) and taunting him, secure in the knowledge he was winning big against the 18-1 underdog. In the final seconds of the fight he took a victory lap, as the crowd of 13,395 stood and cheered at the MGM Grand arena.
The ringside scorecards reflected Mayweather's dominance, with one judge scoring a 120-108 shutout. The other scores were 118-110 and 117-111, while The Associated Press had Mayweather winning 119-109.
Mayweather added to his pay-per-view riches once again, and once again he didn't seem to have to work too hard to make it. Berto, who had lost three of his last six fights, tried to make it a fight but his punches were wide and mostly missed their marks.
"I pushed him to the limit," Berto said. "But he was just better."
Mayweather did what he's done best in his long career, fighting defensively and picking his shots against Berto. He was especially effective when Berto rushed at him, using his counter punching skills to keep Berto away.
It was a winning combination once again, just as it had been in his 48 previous fights.
Mayweather had vowed to give fans an action fight in his last bout, after being criticized for fighting defensively in his win over Manny Pacquiao. He did trade punches with Berto on several occasions, but never stayed in the pocket long enough for Berto to find his mark.
Mayweather complained to his father in the corner during the fight that he hurt his hand, but said since he is retiring it didn't matter.
Ringside punch stats showed Mayweather's defensive wizardry. Mayweather was credited with landing 232 of 410 punches, while Berto landed only 83 of 495.
"I was in great shape but it was difficult to fight him," Berto said. "He was really, really slippery."
Mayweather weighed in at 146 pounds, a pound more than Berto.
Mayweather, in his 26th title fight, controlled the action all night, now allowing Berto to land more than one punch at a time. He was never able to hurt Berto, though, and passed up chances to engage him in exchanges.
Berto was surprisingly passive early, doing little in the opening rounds but throw punches that hit nothing but air. He picked up the pace beginning in the fourth round, but Mayweather had little trouble ducking and moving away from his wild punches.
By the 10th round were talking so much trash that referee Kenny Bayless called a halt to the action and told both fighters they needed to shut up.
If Mayweather retires it will end a career that saw him become a pay-per-view star and earn more money than any boxer before him. Though most in boxing believe he will some day fight again, the 38-year-old said he had plenty of money and his health is more important than chasing records.
"I've accomplished everything," Mayweather said. "I've done everything in my sport."

Despite his beef with Meek Mill earlier this year, Ar-Ab said that he would check friends for talking trash about his fellow Philly rapper in the past, which was confirmed by Dark Lo. Ab told us that he never had a problem with Meek before the "Lord Knows" emcee screamed out "f*ck Ar-Ab," at a stop on The Pink Print tour, but that incident changed everything.
Speaking more on the topic Ar-Ab told us that he was offered $100,000 to record a diss against Meek, but the Philly emcee said that he didn't feel it was right, because he truly didn't have a problem with Meek. He even pointed out that he would call Meek directly to hash out any lyrics that people around him were telling Ar-Ab were subliminal disses, which is why the "Pocket Full of Money" emcee was so caught off guard by Meek's diss.

"Well when Serena breaks it off with Drake I'm here for you boo," she wrote. "My season is already in the crapper so no one will blame you."
The "blame" reference was directed at fans who called Drake a "bad luck charm" when Serena lost at theU.S. Openon Friday.
Jones reminded everyone that Drizzy was in attendance at one of Serena's biggest wins.
The 60 and 100 meter hurdles specialist didn't want to make it look like she was throwing shade at Serena. She lauded all that the tennis star has accomplished in her career.
Jones, 33, has made no secret that she's still a virgin. When asked by a fan about Drake's sexual conquests she was quick to reply.
At least Lolo's not afraid to go after what she wants.

TMZ reports that the singer was awarded joint custody of his daughter, Royalty, and will only have to pay $2,500 a month in child support instead of the $15,000 the baby's mother Nia Guzman had been asking for.
Guzman wanted a Houston judge to deny Chris' custodial rights and only award him supervised visitation. Instead, they will now split time with their daughter equally.
In addition the judge ordered Guzman to stop trash talking Chris and to not speak about the case on social media.

General Santos (Philippines) (AFP) - Philippine boxer Manny Pacquiao called for punishment and a rematch on Friday after his fierce rival Floyd Mayweather was accused of violating anti-doping rules in the build-up to their mega-fight in May.
The eight-division world champion, who lost a unanimous decision to Mayweather in Las Vegas, urged Nevada sports officials to "impose the appropriate sanction" on the unbeaten American.
Mayweather and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) have both insisted the boxer's actions were legal after it emerged he was injected with vitamins and minerals before the fight.
But Pacquiao questioned why USADA only informed the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) about the infusion three weeks after the bout, by which time Mayweather had already received a USADA exemption.
"Are they hiding something? For the sake of fairness and for the good of the sport, NSAC must be consistent," he told reporters at his home in the southern Philippines.
"If needed, the NSAC should impose the appropriate sanction to sustain its credibility and to show the world they did not give preferential treatment to the Mayweather camp," he added.
A report on the SB Nation sports news website said Mayweather had broken World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations by having an IV infusion at his home in Las Vegas on May 1, the day before the fight.
WADA guidelines say IV infusions are prohibited because they can be used to mask performance-enhancing drugs, increase plasma volume levels and distort the values of an athlete's biological passport.
But a USADA source told AFP that because Mayweather obtained a therapeutic use exemption, no offense had been committed under WADA rules.
- 'I want a rematch' -
Pacquiao also said he was treated unfairly because the Nevada body refused to let him use a USADA-approved painkiller for the fight, when he was carrying a shoulder injury.
"That is why I want a rematch. One without any injury and with fair play. No favoritism. Not one where the Mayweather camp gets to dictate all the terms and conditions," he said.
Doping allegations have been at the heart of the fighters' long-running feud, which has not abated since Mayweather won their only meeting for the World Boxing Organization welterweight title.
The richest fight in boxing history took years to become reality, partly because of Mayweather's insistence that Pacquiao comply with a strict drug-testing regime.
Mayweather later accused Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs, prompting a lawsuit which was settled out of court.
After Mayweather's victory on points, he branded Pacquiao a "sore loser" for revealing his injured torn rotator cuff injury, which later needed surgery.
"Truth finally came out and I was vindicated," Pacquiao said in a brief statement earlier.
"(The) Mayweather camp accused me of using PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs). Now look what happened."
Mayweather, who is looking to extend his unblemished 49-0 record against Andre Berto on Saturday, has insisted he is a "clean athlete".
"I follow and have always followed the rules of Nevada and USADA, the gold standard of drug testing," Mayweather said in a statement.
"I am very proud to be a clean athlete and will continue to champion the cause," he added.

Porn star Jesse Jane either had the party of the lifetime earlier this week or got drugged by a stranger. Neither scenario is good because she was laid out unconscious on the Las Vegas strip when a TMZ cameraman caught up with her.
As you can probably guess, Jesse got roasted on social media by a ton of mean spirited people, according to TMZ. A sample of the comments can be read below.
- "Tequila is no bueno, that's what u call white girl wasted."
- "It's hard to hold your liquor when you have no soul."
- "Just leave her on her back, that when she's most comfortable."
Jesse fired back at the trolls by posting a video today explaining that she only had two drinks when she was found passed out. She suspects that she was drugged.
Unfortunately, Jesse has a history of being drunk out in public. In 2010 she was filmed outside of a club lit up like a Christmas tree.

During an appearance earlier this week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Caitlyn Jenner surprised everyone by saying she is still not sure about gay marriage, although she is transgender.
I’m a traditionalist," Jenner said. "I’m older than most people in the audience. I kind of like tradition, and it’s always been a man and a woman. I’m thinking, ‘I don’t quite get it. I think, like a lot of people on this issue, I have really changed my thinking here to, ‘I don’t ever want to stand in front of anybody’s happiness.’ That’s not my job, okay? If that word – ‘marriage’ – is really, really that important to you, I can go with it."

90059. Five numbers that to the simplified mind might just seem like a zip code. When in reality, it’s more than that. “90059” signifies struggle, survival, family, growth, and most importantly, home to Watts native and TDE’s first signee, Jay Rock.
The gutter’s in his blood, and knows he came from the dirt. Yet he’s still able to step up in the place with not a stain on his shirt. Haters want to talk, trying to work his nerves, but Jay Rock’s paid them no mind, he just hits them where it hurts. If you recognized the excerpts used for the intro of this paragraph, it’s without a doubt that you’ve been actively following the TDE OG and big brother to Kendrick, Soul-O, Q, Isaiah and SZA. No stranger to the game and no stranger to the streets, Jay Rock is ready to give hip hop appreciators what they’ve been anticipating – his new album, “90059.”
Not falling victim to the fabricated opinions of the media, “90059” proves that Rock strays far from any “shadows” and remains confident in himself as an artist, lyricist, and voice for his hometown of Watts, California. Proving that this album goes deeper than sales, blog posts, entertainment etiquette and facades, is the latest installment of the Aplus Filmz mini doc series, “Aplus Docs.” Watch as the crew that’s been riding with TDE since Rock’s “Dollars Make Sense”, walks us through the mind of the 112th Street child as he mentally prepares for his September 11th release. Together we visit the free Christmas Concert at Nickerson Gardens, the Dew Tour, New York and Los Angeles listening sessions, private recording sessions and even a never before seen midnight freestyle with K. Dot.
What’s been constantly deemed ‘a long time coming’, “90059” is undoubtedly a piece of art and realism that should be applauded for not being rushed as it is hands down, one of the most anticipated albums to make it’s way out of the TDE camp this year.
