and it's not like Ras will use that money to make an Illmatic.
He'll just drop some usual bullshyt about typical topics. Front like he isn't dead broke.
That's why fans feel hustled. So you're doing well, but not well enough to create your livelihood on some level? teh fukk?
Do you even listen to his music? Ras Kass has mad topics and concepts, so to say he will have typical topics yet have Asap Rocky in your av is ridiculous. And Ras Kass ain't fronting about nothing. Also a lot of you people here have no clue what you're talking about, it varies on the independent scene the income, I know a bunch of people that are making money as a living off what they do. Doing something like a fundraising project doesn't necessarily mean anyone is dead broke, rich people have done it too, it's a buisness way to guarantee pre orders and raise the funds to cover the project and even recoup or make profit in advance, it's actually sensible. It can also help the fans feel more a part of and invested in the project, be updated and you can also try and give them some rewards and something back for their support. I don't think people realise how expensive it can be to record music, even though some people are able to bypass that shyt in some ways if they have some of their own in house shyt, know somebody or are getting funded but the shyt can be a huge expense, certain studios or engineers are charging massive fees per song. As usual you're a complete fraud and bytch who has no clue what the fukk they talking about, why you talking like Ras is just some straight flossing rapper? He's not, he never has been just that. It's nonsensical and ridiculous gibberish. Let Ras do what he does, I'd be happy to contribute as would others. It's not mandatory so no-one is forced to, but if you want to support there's no harm in having the option and $10 isn't gonna kill anybody financially that has internet use.
