Because with a name like Uncle Murda you're instantly scoping into a niche crowd of ignorant fans that aint shyt. No one will buy your music, no one will give a fukk about you as an artist and yes they'll appreciate your initial material but when it's all said and done, they'll move on to the new guy out there with the same bullshyt gimmick, who'll follow the same path as said artist and eventually be caught in the same trap he set the :flabbynsick: rappers just before he blew up.

It's the vicious circle of underground rap artists who have no idea how to market themselves or the drive to do something with their talent. I swear this guy had a spark when he started, then he :ufdup: by being an all round ass who felt himself a little bit too much. Now no one cares for him or is willing to lend a hand and his salty ass is sat there blaming, 'the game' for his current positions and using gimmicks like changing his name to appeal to a broader fanbase.

:wow: desperate moves by a broke man. I swear the rap game aint shyt :lupe:
