Understand this...when you rap for your own "PASSION" that means you are doing what pleases you...fuck what anybody else says. When you rap for "MONEY" or "BUSINESS" then you are looking to adapt to certain things that may even take you out of your comfort zone...it makes you have to be sharper on your marketing of yourself. If you have a problem with the "N" word you need tah leave rap alone...if that is what you do? The word NIGGER and NIGGA is a word symbolic to black people's striff...Hip Hop/Rap is a black culture's music expression that deals with black topics...what race are you?...How can you be in HIP HOP and not respect "Ugly Nigga"? Ugly Nigga is Hip Hop. You have to be black to undrstand that fully...Ugly Nigga is...Oscar Grant...so what is it that you dont "respect" about me? As for the vulgar language...save it dude...you aint no kid...stop bull shitin'.
I have no problem with the "N" word in that way. It's the fact of the matter that you come in swinging and throwing words around like you the man to listen to & we're a bunch of idiots in here. If you so much better than anybody, or really got it like that... what you doin' in the Siccness? Your whole rant / money spill was like you really doin' it. And mind you, I can respect anybody doing their thing, but it starts to ring fake when people talk that way.
If anybody is a true success in a major way I'll see it on MTV, BET... every major music magazine etc. I don't need any rapper / entrepreneur trying to convince me that they're on their way. I'm just not hearing it. So thank the Siccness because I've never heard of you outside this site. And you maybe successful, but success is measured, so it all depends on what level of success make's you content. Not that I care.
Back to what I meant about the use of the "N" word and foul language. I'm no Holy Roller or actually take offense to any of it. ...but if I'm conducting business like say for example, I'm buying a car & sitting in the little office in the dealership. And the dealer is really trying to sell me this car (as they do.) I will seriously get up and walk out if he starts to talk like we're hanging on the block.
You want to be a business man, then conduct yourself as one and learn how to speak correctly when need be.
My cousin works for Sony Pictures (it's not something I throw around) and yes I dealt with them at one point. Do you know how ignorant some people look walking in trying to keep it real? They don't want to hear your mouth, they want to see talent, humbleness, professionalism, focus & documents.
Most newbies that come through here want to impress about being signed LOL!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! They watch too much T.V. or really believe that some how it'll come true if they say it enough, or convince people. To sign a real record deal will take an artist at least a year by the time everything is signed and gone through the entertainment lawyers, fees etc.
99.9% of independent artist don't own their publishings, don't know how to register a song, or know how they are suppose to be paid through this music. They believe that they are suppose to just get money off album sales and that's it LOL!!!! It's a joke to read that about any rapper claiming to do it big.
The way musicians get paid is through royalties (see: publishings) that's the longevity of every musician regardless of genre. And what I just gave you is the basics, so if rappers are in this business thinking about blowing up & dreaming about being successful cause they sold 100 Cd's in the street. Cause some dude said they had a good chance at being a success? Them rappers will all be applying at a Mickey D's near you in the next few years.
Most rappers dream about million dollar homes etc. But fail to realize that you must maintain making millions to be able to afford the little things that some slow people over look, like property taxes on a million dollar home.
And that my friend, is the honest to God truth coming from a home owner.
Nice how you came in this time and did your shameless plug thing LOL!!!! I saw it coming.
I don't need to leave nothing alone. I've been good in what I do and working at it & the "N" word does not exists in my vocabulary what so ever (online or in person.)
My reason being that I am not African American & I just feel it's a disrespect. If you must know I happen to be Boricua (Puerto Rican.) And that is why I won't use the word... out of respect.
I don't hate you, I'm in no way aiming at disrespecting you in anyway. I'm just simply stating facts on how it all works.
I wish you much success in what your doing.
