Who has what it takes???
I don't know if any of our artists have what it takes, they havn't done it it in years. Personally, we have over 30 artists that could break nationally: Andre Nickatina, B-Legit, Messy Marv, San Quinn, Mob Figaz, Dubb 20, A-Wax, Lil Ric, C-Bo, Killa Tay, Guce, U.D.I., Charlie Manhatten, Celly Cel, PSD, Mac Mall, Luni Coleone, I-Rocc, Mitchy Slick, Mary Jane Junkeez-all have talent. But do they have what it takes? Can they focus on music, balancing personal life, Hustle, Grinding, and turf Politics. Bottom line is can they stay out of jail long enough to get their career going and keep it going. Look what happened to Mac Dre. He was doing music for 14 years. He went to jail and back- he still wasn't major. It's a whole package majors look for. An artist has to make smart and risky business moves to show the industry they are worthy. Out here we are straight thugs and hard heads. We don't listen to nobody. That's why our Independent Music Industry is so strong. If anyone of the rappers mentioned are gonna make it, it's their decision just as much as the major labels'. Can I be focused to do it??? Me as a Magazine writer, can only give advice. I only speak when I know facts, other wise I can't be credible. Shit, Ghostt could blow up, who knows. Just make sure your not a hater and support these artists that do get any spins on radio or video.
