For the past few years I do Rock The Bells and The Paid Dues festival and other big festivals and they always ask me about doing a The Tonite Show nor cal set but they want the artist to perform to the instrumental and not perform to the song. So I'm not tryna offend no one I'm only tryna sharpen ya sword. Step your show game and artistry up and strive to be a professional not an amateur. Stop doing that kareokkee show gettin on stage and letting the song play while you perform to the recorded version of a song instead of the instrumental. That shit is lazy and your cheating your fans but most of all you cheating yourself out on future potential opportunities like how I'm saying now. Take the time to tell your engineer to make you a show version of your album too. As you know I Djayed for Nas, Common, Raekwon, Freddie Gibbs and none of them nor anybody truly successfull do that, be professional. Playball.

YA but also don't hve 35 of ur homeboys on stage rappin w u and jumpin around like idiots. And whatever you do, please don't give them fools a mic. Ruins the show. Make sure ur voice clear. Most rappers are terrible live. Ti n jay z the best I heard live n guess what? One guy on the mic at a time.

it's all about that fast mixtape money and whatever else is cheaper, rappers want that fast buck.

The day being a "trapper" (or atleast according to their truthful lyrics) substituted being a musician as the prerequisite for being a MC/rapper, is the day all this sht happened.

If it weren't for producers and their beats rap would've been dead.
