To Be Honest, Its All About How Much Money You Can Bring To The Table, Lemme Explain
Woodie Is A Very Well Known Rapper, And Has Fans 4rm Here To The Bricks In Germany, But Does He Have Chain Stores Across The Globe Sellin His Product, NO! Hes Breakin A Mere Sweat When It Come To Mainstream. Heres Why, Labels That Arent Seen As A Garage Group Or Back Door Bargain All Have Ghost Writers, On Hand Producers, High Quality Sound Recording Setups, And All They Need Is A Rapper, Sumone To Bring Out There Name, Sumone To Appeal To A Certain Aduience, Well Say Sumthing Of A Poster Boy
They Tell Him, You Fork Over The Share For Your Products Expected Turn Out For Sale, And We Will Make An Album, Hype It Up, And Hope That You Triple Your Deposit, Lonely Rapper 1 Gives The Money, While Rapper 2 Says Fuck That, Gets Kicked To The Curb, And Starts His Own Thing Like How Woodie Is Doin Now
Rapper 1 Disappears, Isnt Seen, And Then Outta Nowhere Rapper 2 Is Gettin The Crowds, Locking Down Shows, Makin Appearances Everyone, While Rapper 1 Has Ghost Writes, Pools Of Them, Working Around The Clock Cutting And Pasting Away At Lyrics, He Has A Mass Group Of Producers Who Break Fingers Punching Away At There Keyboards Tryna Make A Hot Beat, Studio Techs Are Busy Hookin Up That Wire, Testin Out That Mic, And All Along "Warner Bros" Is Payin These Ppl For There Work
Now Lets Say A Year After Rapper 1 & 2 Do There Thing, Rapper 2 Is Well Known In His Own Lil Area (Woodie For Example Is More Known In Cali, Northern Cali At That, More Then Lets Say NY) While Rapper Number 1 Has Been Hypin Up The Album, He Went 4rm Dork To Drug Dealer In A Swift Chop, Dudes A Household Name Across The US, Heres Where The Bullshit Starts, Rapper 2 Has A Loyal Fan Base, No Contracts To Worry About, No Strings To Dangle Or Trip Because Hes Doin It For His Self, By His Self
Rapper 2 Gains A Great Deal Of Money, Becomes Mighty And Could Pay Every Fathers Child Support 4rm Here To There And Back 10 Fold, He Showers In Money Scented Water, This Goes On For Only A Year, What he Doesnt Know, Is In That Contract He Signed, He Was Expected To Not Only Fork Over His Share For The Cost Of Everything, But He Was To Do It Again And Again And Again, He Ends Up In Debt And Becomes A Nobody
Rapper Number Now Has A Steady Flow Of Cash, Enough To Live, Eat And Breathe And A Loyal Fan Base, Thats So In Love Wit His Music, That If The CD They Bought, Got A Simple Scratch That Didnt Affect It At All, They Would Go Buy A New Copy The Very Next Morning, Thats The Diffrence
In Other Words, It Might Be Hard, But Gettin A Major Contract, Is Like Gettin Fucked By A Donkey Dick, Your Better Off Doin your Own Thing, Stay At The Level Your Well Living Off, To Low And You Lose Basic Essentials(Money) To High And You Lose A Firm Grip On A Network Of Ppl That Live And Die Listening To Your Profuct
