i feel you when you say it should only be about the music but then again that's what the mad rappers talk about even in their music (meaning they talk about the industry within their music every other song).tired of these wanna be A&R internet journalists who keep telling us all this important "he needs to do this to sell, and be friends with so and so, and do x y z in this industry, so you cant hate him you have to support that"
and I dont give a fukk bout neither. either you argue youre liking his music or not, then keep it moving. keep all that junior accountant shyt out of it, and talk about the music, bottomline. everyones such a follower these days, talkin about the clubs play it, the block loved it, so and so who is famous plays it at his parties ...
and they stay on the web talking about why the next man loves it, so you should too. doesnt even realize their arguing over someone elses pockets, someone elses tastes, and the good of another mans business that they may or may not even enjoy. smh
Not me... but I know this nikka ain't realeasing an album...
you aint releasing a album, either..
realistically.. why does it even matter to you..? you dont like the cat, so why you worried about his next move, who said what in a thread/article, etc..?
yall some confused folks out this b!tch..
if you're talented at making music then you will succeed at making good music. If you're talented in business and marketing, then you will succeed at making money. If you want both, then you have to be talented at both or make strategic alliances with people who complement whatever you're lacking. The next man's success or failure has nothing to do with you. The label is free to sign who they want and support who they want. just like you're free to not sign with them. again, most people play "armchair A&R" because the artist who claim "it's not fair, i'm more talented than _______" keep talking about it in their music. If they stopped talking about it and just focus on making good music and good business, then the best at both aspect would succeed and everything falls into place.
them? why do some rappers feel so entitled to fortune and fame? chances are you're music is doing exactly what it's suppose to do. and that goes for anything in life. Same thing with nice guys complaining about not getting bytches. same thing about people complaining about being broke even though they work hard as fukk. Chances are you're exactly where you should be in life. It's not just about how talented and hard-working you are. it's also about who you know, how you strategize and what you choose to focus on.so if people keep bytching, they should expect a reply. as Clint Eastwood famously once said, Clint Eastwood said:
