I take your answer half serious, but I will answer it. At first it started out as fun. It was simply for the love of it. I started off with an old boom box which dubbed from tape to tape. I then bought a karaoke and recorded a whole mixtape in 97.
There was in a point in time in the mid to late 90's / early millenium when the feeling was, "I'm gonna blow up! I'm gonna blow up! I'm gonna make a million dollars & buy a mansion in the hills." etc.
Now I just just do it for the love & expect nothing from it. Yeah, I've made a little dough here & there off it, but nothing I can say to live off of.
As far as babies mamas? They never really gave a shit. One of them was around me when I met Mac Dre (R.I.P.), recorded with Yukmouth and she was like whatever about it. Her cousins & nieces were all excited when they found out she met them, but were like wtf? At her reaction of not giving two shits.
