I've Never Seen a Security Guard More Overmatched Than This Man Who Told Rapper Ty Dolla $ign He Can't Smoke Weed In The Studio

I'm not sure I've ever seen a man so unequipped to perform a job. Not that this young, clean-cut, very white gentleman isn't fit to work security for a music studio in any capacity. But for the very niche task of telling a black millionaire rapper he's not allowed to smoke weed while in the studio... while that millionaire rapper is surrounded by a posse of 10-20 people, many of which would probably take a literal bullet for him, because that rapper could very well be their primary source of income... I've never seen a person more overmatched in my life. 

I mean, seriously... what studio manager in their right mind sends this guy in there to do that job. 

Not to suggest a white man isn't capable of performing such a task. White men are capable of anything. It just takes a particular brand of white. Like someone who can bench 300-pounds and squat twice his body weight. Someone who doesn't have hair that could be described as "coiffed". Or anybody at all who even slightly resembles a person that would fit in with Ty Dolla $ign's crew. 

On the other hand, this was a great test of that timid young man's security guarding abilities. If he's unable to get that job done, maybe he's not cut out to work there. But if keeping wealthy rappers from smoking weed in your studio is in the job description, the studio never should have hired him in the first place. At bare minimum, they could have sent him in with a crew of his own. But one look at that guy and you know he stands less-than-zero chance in there if he's acting alone. There is no world where that situation ends any differently than this. 

I almost wonder if this was some form of hazing. That security guard seems pretty young. He could be new to the job. It would objectively be a very funny prank if every time the studio hires a new employee, they instruct him to barge into the studio mid-session and tell Lil' Wayne he has to put out his blunt. And when the 6-foot-8, 350-pound bodyguard drags him into the lobby by his necktie, the studio bursts into laughter… "Gotcha bitch! Welcome to the family!"

It would make for an excellent team building activity/new-hire initiation. Additionally, if a brand new employee is even willing try that, it shows a certain level of commitment to the job. There's a lot of people out there (me being one of them), who would just refuse to attempt it. I'd laugh out loud in my boss's face and walk straight out the front door. 

But if I'm the head of this studio, and for some bizarre reason I've made the terrible business decision to not allow artists to smoke in my studio, I'd be sure to hire a few different security guards from various walks of life. Clearly this situation called for an elderly black woman. A woman who's kind, yet assertive. Slightly overweight, and a little bit scary. Someone who commands respect. Someone who might remind Mr. $ign of his grandmother. When it comes to convincing people to do things they don't want to do, you have to play to your audience. You don't send a kid who looks like Mr. Beast to do an old woman's job. He was doomed from the start.
