NO ONE has a reason for ego in this fucked up game that I can think of in the West. 40, Short, Game, Snoop, Cube, are some of the exceptions due to success but for the most part....BE HUMBLE and HUNGRY like everyone above says.

Im feelin your post Kontac, and thats some real shit. Reality is tho, there are some circles, especially in corporate america who do not know who Short and 40 is either. Depends on marketing, geographic, exposure. When I worked at the Arena I met a few SUPER famous Country Stars, but I had no idea who they were, dint even know they were who they were until someone who listened to the genre of music came by and made a big deal about it...

^^ feel you fam I can name at least 7 off top but its good,im gonna stay the same no matter what happens to me getting big or not. Just don't wanna hear some of these artists talk about what they do for there hoods. When people reached out to you (not just me) to help and you felt you were big enough sad part is some of them don't even sell 1,000 units

can we keep this as a front page post...my goodness the realness in what you said is so farfetched nowadays...i mean artists will look over and around you to be somebody in this world...ive encountered too many situations like this for the record and i fully agree wit what you sayin....these dudes r not really on let alone r they gettn the money that people think they are...it starts to become obvious after a while if you pay attention to detail...im seein it first hand but of course these people r bigger than half the people they
around and thats what starts off the ego trip...stay humble and hungry

Right on fam, and by means do I ever think someone owes me something I've been doing this for a while and have included a whole lot of people to certain projects I've put out mixtapes,dvd's,comps,etc.... people that really know me know I have a good heart and if I can help you I will. Im not big in the rap world,and im cool with that. Best believe in the other world some important people know and are watching every step I take. I've taken chances putting own music on hold. To help others ,Haiti the youth and others got a huge trip to Childrens hospital in Oakland real soon too hang out with the kids that can't go home. Calling it Bay Day aka May Day. Feeling real good about this one too... this is the type of stuff I like to be a part of. Cause one minute you can rap and the next it can all be taken away. Please don't take nothing for granted

LMAO!! HAHAHA u know u stupid lol
LOL, dude, you know I'm feelin this whole post because I deal with alot of artists myself, and egomania is alive and well out here. I think at the core of alot of our egomania is the lack of recognition as kids, or an unstable recognition of ourselves from others. Had we been told how talented we were and encouraged for it in a normal and healthy way as kids, you wouldn't have grown folks spazzing out at each other because of some finite marterial gain. I went through that phase, but being older and going through life's course shows you it's best to just be humble, even if you do have platinum gums in your mouth and shit. Cats like that have yet to know the difference between affection and respect. You don't get respect with a superstar complex, you simply give respect.

But hey.......what do I know?
