Winning a Grammy shouldn’t be your dream all that shyt is politics and kissing ass to get one how do you not know this by now

I know, I know.

But it's still like the "Championship" trophy. It's a prize to go for.

What Kanye did hurts. Combined with other things I'm dealing with today.

This is going to stir up alot of controversy.

That's very dope.

I don't get why ppl are dissing what Nas said like he wouldn't want to say that.

The narration and video is great.

However if Kanye has $2 million still he needs to stop complaining.

He for sure has at least 200 million unless he himself burned through it.

$100,000 + on his new political campaign.
Etc. He'd better be in politics in the future spending that money today.

I would sign to a major fast!
If the deal was right. If I got big money to keep upfront.

Running an independent record label is not what ppl think.

Ownership is not what ppl think.

It's not easy. It's a tonne of work and dedication.

12 hour workdays +
shut the fukk up we all know people working 12s already for not even a damn thousand a day. shut the fukk up

by this logic, there's nothing to strive for.


Can't want a Grammy, full of politics and ass kissing
Can't wanna sell a ton of records, those numbers can be altered any which way.
Can't want critical acclaim, it's nothing but white boys and websites that write those reviews
Can't want love from the streets, they're more finicky than bytches
Can't want respect from the internet. All that "yo that is fire b, classic" posts put nothing in your pocket.


Basically the number one thing to know if you wanna be a musician is don't be a musician.

I just got a question. What kind of deals did he sign the people on his label to? If he been signing people to standard industry contracts then wtf is he talking about.

"Slave to a label, but I own my masters"

"Even if you sample a snare, you paying the Klan"

^^^Pharoahe Monch, "Desire"


This is nothing new. Artists have been dropping game for decades and artists are STILL getting trapped. This isn't Kanye freeing anybody or leading a charge because while he was out here crying over Grammys he didn't win, artists were out here fighting the fight that Kanye now wants to claim he's the "new Moses" of.

Has Kanye spoke out about any black issues recently that doesn’t involve his personal business, she might have a point

Nahh boy the only thing you should want is a core fan base that keeps growing based off the quality of music you put out all that other shyt you listed is the many facades of the music game that don’t mean shyt to those who won it all cause by then they know it’s just politics, Build fan base + get money that is all by your quality people will speak good about you
