No... lets...
I dont know you.. dont know what your accomplishments are or if you even have any.. but.. in your response you words drip with sarcasm and you speak as if youre talkin' to some new kid on the block.. you dont know what has gone on between the magazine and the 'artists' in the past 2-3 months- constantly reminding and riding these folks to get their money in, get their advertisements/write-ups in.. nor do you know who was approached to be a part of this issue, folks that was talkin' big shit but came thru with NOTHIN'...
You say that $250 isnt shit (..thats what we're sayin'..) and the "statement" needs to be directed at those that havent come thru on their end of the deal (..thats what we're sayin'..)...
I just put together the NW Issue of SouthWestBound (it came out DOPE btw..) and I'll say this.. I doubt I do it again.. shouldnt no grown ass man have to be reminded 3-4-5-6 times to get his artwork in.. to get his funds in... be about your business folks... every rapper out there thinks he's the hottest shit on the planet and should be given--GIVEN-- a spot in the mag because of who they are.. are you serious..? Magazines dont put themselves out... invest $250 in your 'career' unless what youre doin' is your side hustle..
As for the "real" issue comment-- there are no fake editions of SouthWestBound.. The SJ issue, the NW issue are "Special Edition" issues ..
Oh.. and as for your comment about takin' advertising money from rappers that still live with they moms... the stories I could tell.... *wink*
I KNEW YOU COULDNT RESIST THOSE LAST WORDS I PUT OUT THERE, TOO MUCH TEMPTATION. I dont know you either, but from what I have seen on these boards from you, I see you like to add in comments on what you may think is going on, and pretty much shape a coversation with certain lugs you tend to drop out there. I'm okay with that, really. So when I seen you get at me, I knew these paragraphs would come, it kinda reminds me of someone else that frequents the boards..*wink* LOL always coming with some long explanation. Now I dont know what interest you have in me giving a direct comment to Daric, because as I recall I didnt say Daric AND Kalyn. I just said Daric. Who knows, you may have some of your money wrapped into this, but that is not the issue.
For the record Kalyn, as I have seen you or whoever has been using your screen name on this board, go back and forth in arguements with folks on here. I dont do that. I will state a position, and then let it alone. Right now I think I'm doing too much by typing this, but I want to give you the respect of a response. You must have a vested interest in this to come to such a defensive stance, when there was no real attack that would want to cause you to be on a defensive. I have seen many classic "battles" on these boards, whether they turn into cursing and street things, or a battle of wits. I will do neither. Just let you know that dont go off of what you think you know Kalyn always strive to get actual facts.
:::NOW I'M READING YOUR WORDS:::
I just read your words and I gotta say these things.
1. Address those who didnt come thru on thier end, making blanket statements as in NO ONE handled they business aint cool.
2. Assassin said it in his response, stop dealing with them lil dudes, and get with those that are business oriented.
3. You dont have to know me or any of my accomplishments. As I dont know any of yours, just a screen name with an eye avatar. Just know that I have eaten and continue to eat on makin rap records, its not the only way I get my money, but the extra income does help pay bills.
4. My words "drip with sarcasm"? You are good to get that from words that are typed on a computer screen. This has got to be my most humble approach to anything on here. You come hard on folks, then its a challenge, you come humble, you being sarcastic, you just cant win huh?
5. Again $250 aint shit. It needs to be paid by someone who is looking for some exposure. Your words in your response seem like they were directed at me not investing $250. This aint nothin to me, its a hobby. When I feel like rappin, I rap, when I dont, I dont. I know magazines do not put themselves out. I said there are a few pioneers in SJ Rap that IMO should have been approached to do an interview of a feature. I mean some sort of appreciation for all that that pioneer has done. Assassin would have been my choice, even MC Twist. All the othe cats thats comin up in the game, yea they gotta pay for some light cause business is business.
6. Last but not least, if those who are out in the SJ area are out there doing it right and putting out solid material, then thier promotion wouldnt have to be paid for, it will be had when those who get interviewed are asked these questions : "So who in the SJ rap game inspired you, who do you listen to as far as San Jo rap, who are the first you heard put it down for your city?" :classic:
I hope you understood my point. I wish you continued success in whatever you do and have BEEN doing. Peace Be Onto you.
