^^^ Its partially for a good promotion for my new album im workin on...also i enjoy getting my name out there and people recognizing what im trying to do...when i say "whats good you want a free mixtape" people are guaranteed to take it, what they do with it is up to them...on a side note, lets not get it twisted i will not take a loss on it...i will push however many units i need to get my money back + and that wont be a problem especially when my biggest market is college and high school kids!
The Keys to Your Dream!
This subject is spoken on in the mixtape-"Dont get it twisted I dont surf or skate"
Ay Flo...you know what we need in the Bay? Creative ass rappers. Creative to the point where no one has even touched on what they doin.
If I was white from Pacifica I wouldn't front like I was on some hard bay area shit. You will never make a "slumper" that black people or otherwise will listen to in public. You ain't no Too Short homie, and unfortunately the cards are stacked against you ever makin it in this context.
You ain't grimey so you don't come off talkin believable game on one hand, and your rhymes are too basic on the other hand, so you have no real hook that will set you apart. You fall flat on a street tip and a lyrical tip. Even your name is unsatisfactory.
Look at El-P, Cannibal Ox, Murs, etc. They doin crazy shit lyrically and concept-wise. That's about the only chance you have of ever doing anything significant, goin off the deep end on some maney shit that will force people to be like "what the fuck is this".
Get some crackhead mumbling and playin a guitar in the background over some Russian wedding music, rap about how goldfish and James Brown are trying to kill you and Leather-bound books are whats hot, and I will buy your CD. Otherwise you will be just another Jonny T, Billy B, Danny D, or Ricky C from Pacifica, or perhaps a Savage C from San Mateo.
If you wake up tomorrow completely reinvented, from your name down to your clothes, beats, etc. you have a chance. You are standing at a crossroads. One path goes the way you are going now. The other goes in a new direction. Take the narrow path and succeed. Read a book or two, study the English language, come up with complex ideas and metaphors.

Do not:
- name-drop small, local rappers and producers
- make any music with anyone from Pacifica who even thinks the way you do right now
- try and get thuggish - with anyone.
- repeatedly mention the name or neighborhood of your town
- write stunning lines like "we out to the hood - so its all good - we went to the sto, to get us some dro - they see me in my car - im ridin real far"
- talk about how race, class, and location do not matter
- sport a ridiculous haircut / clothing
- write funny, abstract, or strange songs about topics not mentioned by local bay rappers
- embrace your melanin deficiency
- feature strange, unorthodox beats
- improve your vocabulary, delivery, writing, and conceptual presentation
- cut ties with p town stunnaz who will fuck up your game
- take heart, for all is not lost
just wondering, but what's with all the free mixtapes? i noticed hella of the nothern 650 artists and labels keep putting out free mixtapes...why? i can see one every once in a while, but it seems flooded...especially Jonny-T, a new one every month? quality over quantity
and i haven't listened, but you're not gonna ever ever ever get taken seriously with a name like Flo-Istic
