shyts not gon happen for you if you not popular as fukk in your city already or if you don't have a cosign or money. You not gon get anywhere being a recluse loser who just sits inside and makes music even if it's good. I say all that to say this if you were a nerd in high school unless you can get someone influential to believe in your talent, put the mic down and search other avenues. You prolly won't even be a superstar considering it's literally impossible for a nerd to make something the cool kids like. Get your certs up and build.
Look at the cac mac miller your logic is flawed

why expose irrelevant-ass Master P of all people? Because he's a soft target? :bryan:

This writer really thinks he's doing the world a favor and keeping it real. Go expose Drake, Kendrick, J Cole, etc...
plus it ain't even Master P the idiot says in the beginning that it's ROMEO that's running this new BS label and yet the title of the "article" is about Master P and he references Master P multiple times. I fukking HATE this internet yellow journalism shyt is sickening smh

@The Devil's Advocate is right... you will rarely if ever find an artist that didn't have someone with major pull or major money behind them that got a deal but labels know people respect the struggle more than the reality.

The "Dream" is easier to sell than the truth. Most rappers have a drug dealer behind them and they put up money to make it appear that the artist is doing more or more successful than they really are because they know people buy into it.

Most of these rappers are broke or in debt to their dealer and they don't work with "contracts"...

People are always surprised when years later an artist they believed were rich actually turns out to be broke... you don't know what is really going on behind the scenes while an artist is "hot" & that's how it's always been...

The "Illusion" of the industry is what keeps it running...

Master P is far from a nerd and let's face it music wise ...aligning yourself with him
won't give you any clout because he has little buzz and has always been about the money

Recluse losers have the time and energy to create art...cool kids don't

It;s the same in tech...all the cool kids are trying to gain followers and streams
on the platforms the losers invented and sold for huge sums of cash

Revenge of the nerds is real :pachaha:

All true breh

And to your point. It's why most artists have the same story of a guy in their life

"I signed to universal. But hector still had some weak ass paperwork on me, so they had to cut him a check and that's why his name in the credits. But he ain't never do shyt........"

Either that or that dude ends up suing, and winning/settling out of court. Cause these dudes ain't dumb. And for that little 10k-20k they hit you off with to look fly and pay for pr, they expect 30% of what you make forever

And the artist being broke and a nobody. Quickly signs that deal cause they ain't getting nowhere without money.


Even with the same songs that'll be on their first album that goes platinum. Cause without money and pull. You can be drake. You ain't going nowhere. Until you sign to j prince son

Coli.
I'm saying that most of you people rappin need to find some better shyt to do or start to go outside more. And that's not mean girls logic it's the truth nerd nikkas have no idea how to be "cool" for lack of a better term. Ever seen a nerd nikka with all the latest gear after Christmas in high but the shyt just look odd, why cause he just don't have that "swag" for lack of a better term. It's like a nikka from Africa tryin to make American rap song it's just not gon sound right because he's not apart of that tribe.
