You say that, but, then, majority of the times these are the same artist you promote in your magazine.
The same artist promoted in Stash. The same artist promoted in Murder Dog, etc.etc.
I know it's a business and labels are paying for their artists' placement. But, I mean, it should some standard set. Some measure-ment of a product should be set.
I mean, me personally, I would want to brand my product with attributes that set me above and beyond the rest.
I don't understand. . .Niggas always complain about who's who and what's what in music. But, the same niggas ride around with their radio turned up to 40 playing "A Bay Bay" or some other whack ass shit.
Look man, if you a rapper do you. Don't let these DJ's or radio or anybody tell you what's hot or what's good or what kind of song you need to come up to be on. Don't let them niggas dictate your project. Make your shit your way.
Everybody's a rapper out because the standard set to be a rapper in the Bay is so low. Hell, even if I couldn't rap. . .I'd get in the game too. Because a nigga has to be thinking. . .Hell, I can come up with the kind of shit I hear on radio!!! Let alone I might be able to get some paper from it.
Music is not about being a good rapper anymore. It's about being a good hustler. And, that's the problem.
