Delgado... What's the deal homie???
I understand fully where you are coming from man, because if Jay-Z did make "Slacker" and the video, it would be at number 1 on MTV and BET, but since Tech's not as established, they require a minimum of 500 spins so his video does get airplay, but once you hit it big, they dont tend to care as much because, "They want your money!" and "Wanna suck you dick dry" until your music falls off according to what the fans feel about it... Let Kool Moe D come back into the picture, even he doesn't have to have all that radio play, just show up at the back door of 106th & Park and they give him the red carpet, Yessuh' Massa Moe D treatment, and Voila' he's in the rotation. They dont realize good music anymore, until the money comes into the picture... So they best video in the world ever isn't the best or good enough according to them until it has that money inside of the envelope with it, then they see it. Leave it up to the Heat Myser, and that's business, but I say it's a rip off and since their power in dollars in more than our power in numbers such as record sales, you might as well be a Hollywood hopeful without a light at the end of the tunnel...
So that's why I say Fuck the Industry, because people would say, why do I say that, they aint did a thing to me, but honestly, what if I want to shoot a video, then I am a victim, and not blind to the fact because I dont have every A&R and CEO trying to throw money at me and collabo's with Garth Brooks, and remixes with Puffy. I miss the old MTV Raps and shit like that... There were so many different styles of music, from Talib Kweli to KRS-One, to shit gangster Bone Thugs, but now, if you aint singing with Phil Collins, a sample from Aerosmith, or a teenage heartthrob, then you gets no luv, you gotta pay up.... So fuck em'...
And who is Travis... Dogg, let's put it like this! He know's fucking good music when he hears it, and if he was behind MTV or BET's rotation, then we love love to tune in to that shit on time everyday... That's a big part of why Tech is getting his tours, shit is running smooth, and muthafucka's are knocking the door of Strange Music camping out there waiting to see the light of Day from Tech and not the other way around...
But some respect to him would more than likely be accepted...
