Legal shit ain't got to do nutin with this game, it ain't even evidence that I really live the shit I'm kickin. I'm just saying the only reason your annonamous ass would see me in an off brand club is cuz I'm laying low. & I'm still all over, In reno opening for Majors & Jack, In AZ performing wit F.A.B, Bakersfield wit JT, at the Cow Palace opening for Snoop, all the Mac Dre day Festvals. Whn I step on stage & holler "E-Ma" the whole croud yell back "SHEYMAGO"
I ain't say u ain't shit if you ain't recognized in your city, look at Baby bash, He sell out everywhere but he ain't get hardly any love in Vallejo. I said it don't mean shit to me! & I ain't say the SAMMIES ain't shit, that was The head Grammy's rep for Sacramento, the largest & most respected award show in this industry. The Sammies is cool if you can make it work for you, but so many local artist, & key word being LOCAL, spend so much effert trying to get in that mag & get nominated & that don't equate to SALES, The fans don't read the S&R. A well known producer in this city who I consider my folks is nominated for producer of the year & is in that mag damn near every month & his album has only sold $37.48 in 3 months. If I was nominated it would be just a small notch on my belt. If I walked into a distributer meeting, either Koch or City Hall, & told them I won a Sammie they would give me a blank stare & say what's that? As far as I can see Sac artists fuck wit each other real tough. Up n coming cats say that cuz the tycoons in this City (Bo, Lynch, Luni, ect.. won't work for cheap wit offbrand, wanna-be, myspace, text-message rappers who never had or will have a deal.
My Contributions, Ha Ha. I've made the scene pop just as much as anybody. lot of New Sac artists & producers first time they was on a nationally distributed album was one of my projects. I taught alot of cats out here the business side of the game. Some of these boys was rappin more than 5 years & didn't know what a one-sheet was. My squad got me eatin I released 4 commercial albums as a artist(3 of which distributed worldwide), & my company has released 8 seperate projects digitally with IODA, the nations #1 online content provider. We soundscanned more then 20,000 units & sold over 11,000 downloads. I been on tour in Europe for 24 days(Paris-Milan-Munich-Amsterdam). & as far as legends go... If you ain't dead or retired u just a Has-Been. Lynch is a Livin Legend, He still a factor & still relevant. & ax ANYBODY, I put in more time & werk in than almost anyone in our city Beleive Dat
