I agree with you Jim Hat on that one! He actually didn't rep the V on the record, which I can't explain but he's just doin Beesh feel me? I'm happy for him either way and I know that there is always going to be that special person (hater) out there but I think people just need to support and understand that we as artist need to branch out and find success elsewhere if we can't find it where we are at. If we stay where we're at and never venture off to try something new, we may never be successful! The one's who want it the most or should I say the real artist should know what I'm trying to say!
If you wanna be just another Bay Area rapper then be that and maybe with luck you'll do what 40 and Beesh are doing now but if you really want this shit bad as hell then you need to venture away and find it if it's not happening where you're from! Your heart will always be where you're from but business needs to go where it has to go to make it feel me? I know that we have many successful artists in the Bay but what are they really doing? I love and support all of them but I believe that if they went elsewhere they would be bigger! These labels and big money don't give a fuck about us no more! Then again we can say that maybe you could be successful here if the music was different! What I mean by that is that allot of this Bay shit is the same! IT HASN"T CHANGED!! If you don't change and role with the time then you ain't going NOWHERE!!! Thats' why you see the Quin's, Mac Dre's, Jay Tee's and so on starting to change it up! Maybe something will come out of it! Cat's are just to hard to realize this shit but then again it's just a hobbie to allot of these cats! Plus allot of these cats are putting out garbage! The shoot em' up's, fuck the hoes, killa nigga and rape the post man type shit! It's played already! Don't get me wrong though because I do bump this shit but if every record on the album is like that it get's old quick!
I totally understand what cats mean when they argue this matter but as an artist struggling myself and a singer at that, if I got to go, I got to go cause I want this with every ounce of my body! I eat, sleep, drink, think, walk and talk music and that's what Beesh does as well!
Tha's just my point of view and I know that there are folks on here who don't feel that but please stop and think about this folks! I love the V and the Bay with all my heart but what should I do if it's not happening here? I mean really think about this shit! What would you do and give up in order to be successful? How big is your dream of music???
Back to my homie Jim Hat! What up playa? How you been bro? I haven't chopped it up with you in a minute! How's my other blood cuzzin Lou E Loe doin? Stay up and God Bless you pimp! Holla!
