I use to really believe in this as an artist but this is my first time writing about it or openly talking about it . yesterday i met a cat who i thought was really cold at the beats and shit . so i chopped it up with him to a point where he asked for my info which i then directed him to my email and blog!
fore somreason i have issues with being on a list.
to my fellow artist why do you think its important to have all these ppl numbers in your phone.it always seem like i talk to someone and i mention an artist name and he like i got his ppl number or i got so and so number. to me its like whatever half or more than half its not like you chopping it up with the cat on the reggie so why even log it in ??? oh thats right its for the just in case but when just in case comes you find out he deleted or gave you the wrong number. I usually do not collect industry numbers unless i plan on chopping it up with this person.
who even came up with networking is key??? what hypocrisy to say especially when most new rappers get "discovered". The industry tells you so and so was found cutting hair and his homebo talked to (insert someone with power here). Players will say its all about who you know network and spend money......hmmmmmm spend money he says.
If you go online every one is selling service that will get you heard by 1000 of movers in the industry or give you advice or get you on a mixtape or get you on a website or ....... you get my drift.Thats the difference from being in the music busniess and being in the business in making music. so i say fuck making connects!! how bout work and talk to ppl who you feel mutually respect the game the music and the fans just like you. i would rather have a conversation with a nigga like Saigon who has a love for this game but hasnt got that big big break to make the music he wants on a national stage than a nigga like Jim Jones who arguably had his biggest year last year with Fly High and saw good indie money and now feels like somehow he is great. thats no diss to jim jones but when a nigga conversation is more about money than give good music then i really dont want to talk. I feel like i am in a pretty good position and i could be a dick to alot of rappers or my emails and be like i dont want to talk toyou guys . Thats not me i have conversations i tell niggas hey let me sit in on ya session maybe i can give youadvice or help blah blah niggas is hungry and ima help them eat.
another side note maybe story. whats funny to me is when you bloggers nad forum net nerds tell new rappers or aspiring artist they rapping about the same shit other rappers rap and they sound like every other rappper. NO SHIT !!! Thats not even a insult you dont like a rapper cus he sound like a rapper????? YOU DUMB FUCK! oh i get it you want you rapper to sound like .... well i dont know what you want him to sound like and say. HEY GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS no one is gonna say anything new it has all been covered . lets make a list

now someone please tell me something thats left to talk or rap about after you finish the list.
now here is my gripe with niggas like vic rocko shawty lo and others how about you guys pick up the temp and say something . you can say nothing and still say something. lets get a real flow that goes somewhere ...okay heres a story last week i talked to a cat after hearing hsi shit and he was spitting some lame same crak and dope shit . i wanted to rip him because i knwo he odnt know shit bout dope but thats his topic but he stop and we chat and he is like man the game is so fucked up right now i cant stand when niggas say they the best its like disrespectful. im sitting in awe like i knwo he just didnt say that after talking about dope nad crack and shit. id rather hear niggas talk about being better than me to inspire me to be that great than a nigga talking about dope and cocaine inspiring young dope dealers. thats the point i learned that now its the in thing to say the game is fucked up. it use to be in to say hiphop is dead now it dont matter who you are you can say the game is fucked up as you download another cd from the net and wont no one disagree with you .
fuckouttahere!!!
