What ever happened to keeping it real to your immediate family and signing away. Fuck the street shit, if the street kept your family fed then it would be understandable. I think people fail to understand that at the end of it all, it's every man for himself.
If artist like Ritchie Valenz kept it real to his Homies he never would of did shit. He chose his family over his friends & even though it's a movie, that's what everybody should live by.
I know, I know there is gonna be a rebuttal on how real it is and how one has more pride within oneself etc or whatever else used as an excuse. I don't care how it's sliced and diced it's a stupid reason not to sign. In the end, it's not about you and your pride. It's about your kids and family. Fuck the rest of the shit. And when the day comes that my kids grow and ask why I sold out, I could look them in the eyes and say, "You like how your living right? When opportunity knocks, take it! Look at it this way, you could be working a regular job pretending you love it. And taking shit from your boss, so why not do it the same shit on a higher level? It's the same shit, your living a lie and always wanting more. That's why I signed, to give you and your brothers and sisters a better life."
I call bluff on signing due to anybody in their right mind would of went for it & played Gusto for the right price.
