Important lesson in the music business. Being a gang member has nothing to do with it. You are now stepping into a whole other realm that requires, just like gang shit.. not to catch feelings.
The music business / the rap game etc. is not here to hand you favors. It is not a charity. This here falls in the same category as, "Be careful what you wish for." Think about it, you came in here & asked for an opinion.You left the door wide open for us to come in here and speak on it. What did you expect? Everybody to kiss your ass? Everybody to feel it because you and your Homies are patting each other on the back thinking It's the hardest music ever?
Be happy you got harsh, yet real opinions. That means you take what you get and go back & fix it. And please don't tell me we're haters in here because all your Homies / block / everybody in your town / all your family members like it. Reality check Homie! Those people will always lie in your favor.
You have entered the music world. And before you try to backlash at anyone for not telling what you wanted to hear, make sure you watch what your asking of them first. You may not like the results.
Be a real artist, learn to take it and learn to separate the word "hater" from "constructive criticism." And if you can't learn to accept it without trying to get violent? I strongly suggest that this music biz is not for you amigo.
I'm on the second verse on this "Yesterday" track. Feel free to go through my links, music & sites.
