Is there an inside circle to Northern California music game? Is there a conspiracy going on? Does one have to be cool with or nut swing on certain folks to get distribution deals? slots in shows? even a respectable mention? Could that be construed as hatin?
I see alot of cats that are "in the business" just because of a circle of folks that they around. Muthafuckas that dont what its like to really do this shit for real, they just on cause they homie might have a lil name up in this shit.Muthafuckas with not one album out, BUT they doin shows. Muthafuckas that pop alot of shit, but in all essence they are just a feature, who dont nobody really dig anyway. Whatz really with this?
I think that behavior is just stunting the growth of what I think we all here to do, and thats blow this muthafucka up. We cant do that by havin the same EXACT features on each and every album that comes out this area. We cant do that by being some non-networkin muthafuckas. At the same time one has to keep self-respect. I feel like, fuck it, I'm gonna make my own way, cause I aint gonna swing on no muthafuckas nuts. I'll network with folks, but some cats feel like its a privilege that the artist is even allowin you to pay him/work with him. So to any "artist" that may think like that, may think that a muthafucka may need you to advance, you can eat a dick up.
I look at shit like this. We all in the same game. We make records, and sell'em so we can get some scratch. What I'm doing aint no different then one of these cats that you may see on BET/MTV everyday. Yea they may have a big ass budget and a power house record company behind them....BUT we are still doin the same ass shit, MAKIN RECORDS to sell to consumers.
Am I wrong to think like this? I would go more deeper, but I'm gonna go outside and get ready to light these fireworks I spent big money on for my kids.:beard:
