To make it. Be successful. To overcome a system that has tried to ensalve you to the ghetto and a life of poverty, crime, violence, and, disenfranchisement .

A well-sorted, wise and helpful friend. Hip without being a hipster. An admired person.
This is exemplified in the Steely Dan song, "Any Major Dude Will Tell You"

Term used in connection with any of the five record companies that dominate the music industry.
Sony, Universal, BMG, EMI and Warner (and their innumerable subsidiaries) account for over 90% of the music sold in the United States and up to 80% globally. The majors are typically characterised as greedy, cynical, bandwagon-jumping and litigious (see also RIAA).
Not all artists signing to major labels suck, but the majority do fall into one of two categories:
(1) those plucked from obscurity, who are given some songs, handed over to a stylist and aggressively marketed
(2) those with previous careers and original material, who agree to remove all traces of innovation from their music, are rejected by their old fans as sellouts and are aggressively marketed.
Regardless of their popularity, most will be financially crippled by the label's dubious accounting and will be dropped the moment sales start to falter.

The Major is a psychopathic Nazi Cyborg from the Anime Hellsing, despite being a 'Nazi', he shows no symbols of being one aside from the obvious Swastika, and the intentional burning of a Swastika into London (Hellsing) using refitted V1 and V2 rockets. His personality is that of Hell personified, he loves war, he does not care if he wins or loses, he wishes to stir up as much chaos and destruction as he can before his army is stopped.
The Major commands an army of 1000 Nazi Vampires and leads the group known as 'Millennium', a reference to the thousand year Reich. He also owns three gigantic badass zeppelins.
Having someone compare you to this character is NOT a good thing.

If by the off-chance someone has compared you to this character, PLEASE, and I cannot stress this enough, get some help.
Guy one : "Bro, you are so much like The Major (Hellsing)."
Guy two : "Yeah, I know, I love destruction and chaos."
Girl one : "Get some help." *To guy one*
