Over the next month or so.....things are going to be changing around here. Ya'll thought I was playin' when I said it's new days for SLR? Nope.......just had some Spring cleaning to do.
From here on out I would appreciate it if everybody would refrain from engaing in arguments and shit talking. That goes for past and present SLR artists as well! I'm trying to keep things positive and I'm TIRED of the image that has been cast on SLR because of the people that were affiliated with it. This is not a "gangsta rap" label........this is a Hip-Hop label.
I LOVE hip-hop.......and I don't do this for the money (unlike some other idiots). Of course I want to MAKE money as a label.......but most of the time all I care about is making my money back (otherwise known as "recoupment")......and I haven't made a dime off the last 3 albums I put out. Do I care? Yeah......because I need that dough to keep the ball rollin' around here (not that anybody cares....especially the artists).......but will I stop because of it? Fuck no! So......as soon as I get things right again......the Sarkastik album will drop. With many to follow it. SLR is in the process of securing funding for all future projects.......and from here on out......all projects will be handled by the book......IN WRITING.
To ANYBODY that has a problem with me........I AM NOT hard to find or get ahold of. I have 2 phone numbers, 3 pager numbers, 2 e-mail addresses and a 2way address. It amazes me how SOME people can talk about causing "internet drama"......when they are the originators of the term. Handle your business....or shut the fuck up. It's that simple. Either way......."business" is not being handled on this message board when it takes the form of HATERISM. And the REAL is........every single person that "CLAIMS" to have some sort of problem with me HAS NOT approached me in private, one on one, to discuss such "problems" that they feel they have. Like I said before though.......I guess they need someone to blame for not being shit? Right? People claim to be "men".......but act like little boys.....and then cry when treated as such.
I have (with plenty of criticism) put my private company info on public display. It is true that it is really nobodies business but mine and the artists.....but I DON'T HAVE SHIT TO HIDE FROM NOBODY. People say....."hey D, you shouldn't air your dirty laundry"......and I understand that. But at the same time......I feel that I owe it to every fan of SLR to keep them informed about what's really goin' on. Is their favorite artist off the label? Should I answer them? Should I tell them what happend? Should they hear both sides of the story and draw a conclusion on their own? I think so. And if anything.........it will expose all of those up and coming artists and soon-to-be labels to what this bullshit-ass business is REALLY about. Because it ain't pretty......and it sure the fuck ain't that bullshit you see on MTV and BET.......with fake jewels, rented cars, rented houses and luxurious bullshit that 98% of those artists really DON'T have!
Anywayz......I just wanted to reach out to what supporters I still have and let you all know.........I AIN'T GOIN' NO FUCKIN' WHERE. I think Pac said it best......."I'm still me till they kill me." That's the only thing that's gonna stop me from supplyin' ya'll with more heat from the Seattle streets!!!!!!!!
