I just had to chime in on this entire myth about these rappers working so hard they develop seizures... it's almost like it's a marketing spin to make fans think their favorite artist is dedicated to their job...
There are stressed the fukk out single mothers who barely sleep 2-4 hours a night working 2-3 jobs to take care of their kids for years doing REAL WORK... fathers who are working 7 nights a week 16 hours a day stressed out barely keeping their childrens lights on... not chilling at a studio... talking on a microphone on stage for a couple hours then partying & sleeping on the Tour Bus... sleeping on the plane... fukking girls & playing video games all day... that's not real work. I've been around these nikkas a LOT... these dudes are having the time of their lives not OVERLY WORKING... you have construction workers & factory workers who work 7 days a week in some states doing 18 hours of backbreaking labor for years & cats really think these artists who do less then 4 hours of real work a day are in worse shape?
These nikkas be at the studio maybe 8 hours 3 times a week when recording... in those 8 hours they are actually WORKING maybe 2... the other time is spent chilling, smoking, watching TV, listening to music or even SLEEPING. Even when they tour these cats sleep on the plane rides & sleep backstage & sleep on the tour busses. Someone like Rick Ross does maybe 50-100 shows a year... & that's less then an hour on stage each show with the rest of the time spent backstage with bytches or drugs.
...And we're talking about fukkING RAPPERS... you know how easy it is for rappers? These dudes don't have to rehearse shyt... & their recording sessions are 10x shorter then any singer. Pop artists have to work night & day to learn their choreography for their concerts for touring & work 3x harder then any rapper because they spend a frustrating amount of hours learning to perfectly sing songs that are demoed up by other people first. A rapper can record 4-5 songs in the span of 8 hours while a Singer might be able to get through half a song or a full song in 8 hours & usually have to come back & "touch up" records where they didn't have perfect pitch or needed more harmonies, etc... rappers aren't even doubling their verses anymore... remember when rappers actually DOUBLED the end of line on their verses?
This whole "working hard" bullshyt propaganda that these labels are spreading to shadow the fact that their artists just aren't living a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE is disgusting...
Hard workers... GTFOH... nobody... & I mean NOBODY worked harder then Michael Jackson & he *NEVER* suffered seizures the way these cats are...
shyt is laughable...
I feel u but that's just these nikkas teams doin a spin job to not ruin potential deals,nobody wants to make long term commitments with a musician that might be dead in the next few years becuz of drugs or living unhealthy.....u can't really blame fans for bein naive to think these nikkas actually went to the doctor and "he wuz working too hard" wuz the diagnosis from a trained proffesional
...becuz that's what normal people do,....ur in the business so u know its a spin job bcuz its money on the line,so u take it fro granted fans ain't thinkin in terms of business,when fans are thinkin what would make sense in the common situation.....just like a sports analyst always bein synical when a player might downplay a injury and have the
face knowing that player is a free agent and doesn't wanna scare any teams off.....then there cynical if a player like Jeremy Lynn says he's hurt but think he's really not and just don't wanna risk injury in a meaningless game
...insiders are always cynical
I'm only cynical along with u cuz I pay attention but people ain't lookin that deep into alterior motives.
I will say this tho yeah singers might have to work longer days,and dance and shyt.....but they ain't writing as many songs as these rappers if they writin anything at all,they not racking they mind to come up with the next classic quadruple entendre
.....rappers work they brains the hardest possibly in what could be considered an unurthodox manor
....but more importantly they play harder
...hangin out in clubs all night,partaking in the alchohol and havin a good time,entertaining groupies its part of the lifestyle of a rapper.....and really more and more young nikkas,not just nikkas but I think young people in general now sleepin less,drink,doin harder drugs...young bytches lookin badder than ever but I bet they don't age well as previous generations is my prediction...they will be bloated and flabby and old lookin by 30,I'm seein it a lot well before 30 actually in these bytches faces
...so yeah they probaly play harder than most genres,work a little less but gotta blame the work bcuz tellin bosses I play too hard don't sound as good....what u think ima tell my boss Monday when I call in?in there defense if they didn't have to work they could get sum ress after "playinghard" all night lol.
Webbie came flat out and said "I been drinkin and shyt since I wuz a little kid so I wuz havin siezures" but that's a real nikka with no pr spin team behind em....sum might consider them stayin up late in clubs part of the job tho.
