all these teens takin sides........about whose real and whose not. This is a grown man's business not for us to discuss. And to tell you the truth it goes to show you how much artists need to grow up(i.e. dubee). How old is dubee? That dude needs to let the thizz shit go 'cuz you get NOWHERE in life with that shit! The majority of these artists are immature dudes that think "keepin it real" means something and it doesn't, outside their own hood, it means nothing to keep it real. Keepin it real, IMO, is supportin your family, payin those bills, teachin your son/daughter their morals & standards, treating your lady w/ respect, and not let others get to you to the point where you make a diss track just because the other dude says "thizz" or that person feels like his camp/hood ain't gettin no love. To me that's all bullshit. Rappers are lookin like idiots nowadays and there's thousands out there that should be hittin up the books instead of pickin up a mic. I know for damn sure there ain't no longevity in the music bizz, unless you're the one behind closed doors makin all the moves. The only thing a rapper has in life is his "street cred"(bs) and their measly album catalog! The only people investing their money elsewhere are the ones who know how to manage their own money and are thinkin about their future. Seems to me that alot of folks are persuing that pac/biggie/jayz/50/eazy-e/too short american rap dream. But some of these folks are better off startin a new life outside the hood, maybe go to a junior college, get accepted at a university, get a bachelor's, get a job that pays well and have a solid foundation to support yourself and your family without havin to worry if your fans will buy your next album or having to deal with distributors, sales, marketing, flyers, concerts, fans, and other shit that comes along with being a rapper. But hey if that's what the next man, next to me, wants to do ......more power to him, i just hope he's focused and determined to get to the top or flop like a pancake......
