as smart as you SUPPOSEDLY are Tadou.......you should be having an academic scholarship or somethin'? Why don't you? I think you're full of shit.
And another thing.......no matter how tight you can freestyle......IT DON'T MEAN SHIT! If you can't write verses and spit them well......you're fucked. Might as well keep your day job. Because about the most rappin' you're gonna be doin' is at parties on Friday nights!!!!!!
1st off, i dont like high school. High school reminds me ALOT of this board: Nothing more than 'training' to be a kiss ass. They put you in front of a teacher who could give a FUCK if you learn the material or not, they just wanna see you sweat (from working so much)....nope, no scholarship for me...but as soon as i get a good 50-60 credits, i wonder what colleges WOULDNT give financial aid to a single-parent raised minority who wants to major in Business and Philosophy...
2nd...you can write verses and spit them well all you want, but once you get up on a stage, all you end up doing is blending in...people gonna say things like "Yeah, e-40 was tight last night, he did 6 songs" "Dividenz tore it UP last night!! They had the place rockin"...would you rather have those, or "MAAAAAN! The 360 Thugz tore the place DOWN!! Then they closed their set with a 15 minute freestyle!"...?
I dont have exact numbers, but i can GURANTEE that
there's more rappers performing in the NW are more comfortable behind a studio mic, rapping a pre-written that they've practiced for HOURS
than there are rappers who got the "GIMME THE MIC!" attitude and would cypher at McDonalds if people was down...Songs aint everything...when are yall gonna finally learn? the NW aint been much impressed with what yall been puttin out...I'm surrounded with YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE (middle class suburban teenagers) on the DAILY...i know what they like, and what they SAY they like but really, they're just SAYING they like it...if you know what i mean by that...

i Feel that, cuz im so sick of mcs trying to talk like just cuz they can bust ONE decent freestyle that makes them an MC, Tadou....a tight MC can do ALL of the fallowingand not limited to)
I dont just bust ONE freestyle, i bust as long as a beat's playing, or as long as people are listening...or a videocamera's on, or there's people in a circle...if i wanted to make money, i'd write some "deep", emotional songs about how hard my life has been, spend a year practicing them, make a demo out of them, and sign with the first person who offered....but i dont wanna make money (YET). Dont get me wrong, a label would make money off *ME* (freestyle albums, weekly performances, and so on...), but money aint my focus.....which is why im lookin for a GOOD label, not one full of bitch artists who dont have the desire and stamina to work together for multiple-years without blowing up overnight.
The best way to get to know someone is talking to em face-to-face...right? Well...thats how i let people get to know me, face-to-face when im freestylin...not performing songs, not reciting verses i havent used yet, not handing out CDs, not pasting internet links....the only thing between an emcee like Supernatural, Mad Skillz, or Juice and platinum sales is a tight producer......all 3 of em can freestyle about as good as they can talk...they're in their late 20's and already there.....im 18, and NEARLY there...
Ima sound like an arrogant dick when i say this, but.....i know what the NW wants and needs.....and 90% of NW rappers dont have it yet.....i can GURANTEE I already have it...but dont take my word for it.....yall will find out on your own soon enough.
