Honestly...

The thing that discourages me about the business, is when you got people who think they're worthy of making it in the big times, but really don't have the skill to do so. They go around yappin' 'bout how they're the next big thing, but the truth is they have a played style or whack ass beats... but everyone in there click thinks there tight, so they think they own the world.

That's prolly it. And the fact that the RIAA is tryin' to shut down Kazaa.

yea i feel you on that, i just wanna make my music and if people want to hear it then ill be glad, i have no big dreams of making it in the big times cuz i know that will probably never happen, i got a 9-5 and im livin about as comfortable as i can be at this point in my life. but yea, i cant stand people who think they deserve to make it big and havent really done anything except rap on a song or two, but what is even worse is when you see someone who could make it just waste their lives over stupid shit....

oh yea im 4 foot 10 and i weight 160 lbs and ill beat up anyone who says bad things to my face. i already beat up fridge, hes in the hospital right now along with everyone else on my street. i need some more pimple cream

I really don't mind that as much, it's like if you wanna claim the fame you gotta play the game.

what discourages you the most in the music industry if you are trying to make it in the game?
The fact that any goofball with a PC can now call himself a "producer" and "make beats." What ever happend to REAL musical talent and quality recording?

The fact that people think they are tight because they can sound like their favorite rapper. What ever happend to ORIGINALITY????

The fact that you can't give anybody criticizm these days without being called a "HATER." Face it muthafucka.....you suck balls! And I'm here to tell you!

i hate it when someone is talking about you and dosnt say your name....lol naw just playing. but yea, i think the problem with that lies in the fact that people dont want to expand and teach themselves and take the time needed to do what you want. i mean i know my sound quality isnt the greatest, but i am slowly improving and i am TRYING to reach the point where i am 100% happy with the sound that i have., and i think alot of people just settle for what is fast and easy. and i try to be original with what i do, i guess to the point where im considered a little strange....lol and i love critisism cuz lord knows i get plenty......

Yeah but some peeps jus't don't have the money (like me) to get beter stuff. Im stil recording tracks with a $7,50 computermic. I can't buy a studiomic of $200 dollars. and buy a mixer/workstasion of $500 and a micstanderd and a plopfilter off togehter $50, i just dont have te paper for that shit. I got kicked out by my adoptive parents like a half year ago. I also gotta eat, and pay the bils. Things are looking beter now. And me and some homys gonna buy al that shit with us al paying a part of the money needed.

When you're out there hustlin your CD and someone actually has the nerves to say: "I'll just burn it from someone instead, no thanks" - That right there REALLY pisses me off to the point where I'm ready to fuckin' snap. When you put your hard work, talent and dedication on record and someone says that shit it just makes you realize that you're fighting an up hill battle and it demoralizes you. It's cool now though, the first couple of times someone said that to me, I wanted to just blast 'em in the leg... but now I'm like fuck it... next time someone says that, I'm gonna give 'em a burned copy of the CD and tell them to burn as many copies of it as they possibly can and give it to his homies.

another thing that pisses me off is muthafuckaz who think your studio is theres... i'm not talking about the homies or my closed circle of friends, my studio is there studio because that's the way we roll... but those muhfuckaz you JUST met, or some cat who's been e-mailing you (obviously trying to get on your good side), or another rapper who you met who thinks cause we kicked it a couple of times that he can now hit you up and schedule in some FREE studio time. these cats is called snakes and the quicker you recognize there fake patterns the better off we'll all be... but that shit is something that discourages me. i've spent hella cheese getting my studio the way I want it and muthafuckaz act like shit was just given to me so it should be given to them... but they didn't see me slaving 9-5 for the last 5 years building up enough cheese to put out the enormously expensive first time album that we all deal with while at the same time coppin enough studio equipment and learning how to use it so you can atleast sound semi-professional. if you ain't one of the homies I got love for, or you didn't get an invite, don't even ask... the accumulation of gear and knowledge (i can't even begin to repay d-sane for being willing to teach me things) cost me 5 years of my life doing something I hated for 8 hours of the day... that's my life man... i traded 5 years of it for material posessions... fuck a snake in the grass.

another thing that really gets on my nerve is anybody who has a big head and can't be humble... and I'm not talking about emcees because it's there job to have a big head and battle cats because that's what backpacking it about... but i'm talking about that rapper who thinks he's the shit if he has talent or not and constantly reminds everybody how tight he is. it's one thing to talk on record about how tight you are and then back it up with dope verses cause that's what the music is about. but it's another to actually talk in real life about how filthy you are and constantly pat yourself on the back... fuck that noise, STFU cause ain't nobody around here better then the next man... we're all underground so what's the point of running your mouth? even with that said, a big ego blinds you, so eventually your mouth piece will betray you.

theres so much more.................... until next time... LOL

Yeah, im raping for 2,5 years now. Im also seting up my own label. Most likely its gonna be 5 artist deep (4 rappers and 1 producer). And i aint gonna hush, firts get some gooed equipment, then put out some demos maybe a mixtape. Then when the time is wright, and whey got our money staight, put out real solo-albums. I don't realy wan't to "make it" or "get payd" it aint my goal, ya understand. But its defnently my dream to put out a album.

@BANETHEMERCILES, im in holland. You can get a plopfilter everywhere ova here. Cant ya find a plopfilter in seattle/, thats wierd, you would expect you can find that easy in seattle.:confused:

@fridge i thought you knew homie, get yourself a triton and only a triton and you are the next dre....lol
well even though i am a firm believer that its not what you got but how you use it, i think there should definetly be a standard. but everyone needs to start somewhere and it would be unrealistic to think that everyone should be able to step in the game with everything they will ever need to succeed

You just reminded me, I'm gonna have to come in at Tuesday at 3:00am for some recording/light mixing... I think we'll be using one of your beats, not one you made, but one you paid for from some other producer.

Oh, and I'm probably gonna need a ride, I'll call you about 30 minutes before we're scheduled to start and tell you to come pick me up.

I also burnt a copy of your shit from Doug... great job!!!
