I was going to do a Kwan Lee TV addressing things, but I decided not to. Some people think I'm paranoid for this, but I know for a fact there are people wishing for my downfall so I could be as miserable as they are. Not gonna happen! I have come too far to let this all crumble and I have much more to go. Nothing is stopping me from sucess. Its crazy because I was just saying the other day how crazy it can be. I'm not even signed yet and its like everywhere I go someone knows me. Just the other day at work this teenage kid said I look like Kwan Lee! Even people around my way now know I make music and all I do is sleep there. I don't be outside like I was in the stuy. When I first started making music I never even pictured getting this far. Its crazy man....

sometimes I feel I be havin to address it! I'm not giving yall haters
and non well wishers satisfaction. I'm just standing up for myself.
Where do we start?
1. Kwan Lee TV is still on and poppin. I just been busy trying to do
things other than music. I do have a regular life.
2. Kwan Lee TV 22 is not out because of more than one reason. I will
tell you though that I am not satisfied with the level of content for
that episode.
3. I am not quitting making music. I have been going through some shit!
But I'm still breathing. I'm gonna channel it into my music though...
4. I run all my websites. No one else
5. I say what I say on twitter (twitter.com/kwanlee) cuz I feel it. I
hold back to not hurt peoples feelings though a little bit. I got a bad
habit of doing it without knowing...
That's all for now

Wow. Like I still can't believe I moved. I only moved a few houses down,
so when I went to the store this morning, I walked back to my old house
like I still lived there lol. I didn't want to move but I had to. Long
story. But it feels so good to have your own shit! Woooooo! I always
said since I was small that by 22 I would have my own crib. And now
look. Sure enough it happened! Now if only the rest of my predictions
would come true...
Don't worry guys the Kwan Lee TV's is coming once I get the office set
up the way I want it. There's a reason that Kwan Lee TV 22 is not out
(not gonna elaborate on it much but just know that I'm not putting that
specific one out until there's a change in politics). But best believe
when I come back its on! Until next time, peace!

Yeah I said it. The fights fixed. I feel like as far as raaping goes the
fights fixed. Everytime something bogus happens, I feel my love for
making good hip-hop music is deteorating. Instead of vh1 doing all these
stupid reality shows about finding love or a job that pays you thousands
if you don't quit? They should do one based on real life issues, like
people trying to get on or just do something positive in general.
Anyway, I'm taking things into my own hand as far as me getting good
music out there. I'm not going to let a few stupid things stop me from
progressing. I got upset last night and illustrated it on twitter but I
quickly got over that. Its Kwan Diddy time now! LETS WORK PEOPLE! LOL!
By the way I got a blackberry now. My sidekick is my main phone (till
death do us part) but I need the bb for data because my inbox kept
getting full with emails from this website and others. So feel free to
email me your blackberry pins people so we could build and network and
increase our net worth. Peace!

This is a real bucket list right here.
1. Bitches (very few women are categorized as this. Because they are
dogs who will do the grimiest things to please theirself and could care
less about anyone else even their kids if they have any)
2. Bitch ass niggaz (yall know who they are, and people have described
you. For those haters out there, I aint one)
3. Snakes (people who wait for an opportunity for you to slip, and try
to capitalize off your mistake by even throwing dirt on you're name)
4. Fakes (people who only ride when things are good, but when things are
bad, no calls, no texts, and since twitter is so poppin no @ replies)
5. Stupid people (it irks me)
6. Haters (I be wanting to smack people mannnn!)
7. Hollywood People (yeah ill collab with you.. And all I get is ya
voicemail)
8. Racists (its america not amerikkka!)
9. House niggas (yall are the worst)
10. Dick Riders (wasn't ridin my wave when I had no type of buzz, but
now since I've damn near made my own empire you hitting me up. Shame)
I don't speak much, because its no real reason to. Yall don't wanna hear
me, but when I speak yall feel me. Peace!

I'm ALL for self promotion, but I wonder if these same people realize that the music industry isn't the same anymore. You can't just be "nice on the mic" anymore. You have to have that buzz about you that can't be denied. Nowadays, A & R's are looking for the people that have the internet going crazy. Why? Because the internet has become the source of all media. Record companies aren't willing to take that chance on those that don't have that buzz going on already.
People aren't going out and buying albums as much as they used to in the earlier days. Why else would it be a big deal when Weezy sold 1 million albums in his first week? People were shocked because an artist hadn't done that in a long time. And to top it off, his album got leaked from here to Iraq, so doing those numbers was a great accomplishment.
Back in the 90's during the Bad Boy, Deathrow, Def Jam era, if an artist was signed, they were forced on us, making us go out and buy their albums. It was never a question who was going to go platinum and who wasn't because in those times, every artist did numbers.
Now-we're in the era of "make up a dance and tell people how to do it in the song" on a nice beat. Yes, I'm talking about the Souljaboy's, the GS Boyz, and the B Hamp's. A new, fun song is all fine and dandy, but when that's what your whole album is based on, I'm less likely to support your career. I appreciate artists that have the skill to put words together to make me think about the deep stuff. I appreciate the actual skill of it all.
The "Up and comers" are trying not to go that route, but without it, they are going to struggle with getting a deal. And there's the "Catch 22".
Not only that, but the overall appearance of these "up and comers" are not quite up to par. Diddy made Big Mike lose weight (he could stand to lose about 50 more pounds) back when he was still trying to make the band. A record company is not going to risk throwing their money into someone that isn't appealing to the public.
With all that said, I ask, "how come these guys never wanted to be a doctor or lawyer?"
Im sure I know the answer to this question. Its the same reason why I didn't want to be a doctor or lawyer: because studying Radio Broadcasting was cheaper. I do have a passion to do radio, but I have no plans on limiting myself (that's another blog post).
No, I'm not an A&R, but I definitely could be. I have a musical talent and I have the ear. And some people just need other hobbies.
I know these up and comers have the passion to do music, but I fear they don't understand its gonna take a lot more than being "nice on the mic". They have to do shows, youtube themselves, make their own little street teams and flood their neighboorhood with their music. Sending links to Diddy via Twitter (or any celebs on Twitter for that matter) is just not going to work.
And like my second father Ed Lover once said, "rapping aint for everybody".
But maybe I'm the only one who feels like this.

over my head and keep my electronics working, I work for Amerikkka.
People that know me personally know where I work at, and if you don't I
can only tell you that it is hell. If it wasn't for the paycheck I was
getting every 2 weeks, I would have quit after the first 2 months. I
seen someone fired a few days before christmas, and I've seen them wait
until after the workload slowed down to take disciplinary action against
people. They are suspect. Trying to fire me now as I'm writing this.
Don't get me wrong, I am appreciative of the fact that I have a job, but
if there was a job available that paid better and took me without giving
me hell, I would jump ship without blinking! There's other federal jobs
and city jobs available, but I can't leave the state for 14 weeks or go
back to school. I left school because I wasn't being supported
financially. And I definitely won't be now. When I was in high school,
my needs (house, food, etc.) were taken care of, but when it came to the
things I wanted, I took care of that however I could. When college came
I was left for damn near dead and was told if I came back home, I'd be
homeless. If it wasn't for my ex-girlfriend in Maryland, I think I would
have lost it down there. I can't even say I regretted a single moment of
my life before living on my own, because if it didn't happen, I wouldn't
be who I am now. Left a lot of shit out, but just know that it shaped me
to be the humble and cool person people know me as...

Rt: @chuckcreekmur @kwanlee lol - i hate the cha cha slide so i agree.
I brought up the electric slide. And honestly that is the only tradition
I knew at every bbq and block party. Until a couple of years ago when
the cha cha slide came out. Not knocking dude for running with it, but
to me it is a watered down version of the electric slide. I hate that
song! I'd rather do the macarena in its 757,435 versions than to do
this. I'd rather do the soulja boy (you.....) joint than this. I don't
dance btw. I 2 step. I remember most of the macarena, but I know its
better than the cha cha slide. If I did the Bobby Brown it would be
better than the cha cha slide...

A lot of you looked over Purple Pain, and no one is anticipating The
Road Warrior. So my attitude towards yall is like whatever. I know who
real and who not. Sad to say a lot of yall is stuck up and phony. I've
sent out invites to come see me rock, and not even my people who I
thought was my road dawgs showed up. I could have a free show right now,
and people wouldn't support. Let a garbage artist perform at amazura or
something though. The line is all the way to the airtrain damn near! I
must admit, IT FUSTRATES THE HELL OUT OF ME! On my other website I got a
mailing list and very few open up the emails. I do all this shit by
myself and I'm sick of seeing no results. I'm hearing be patient be
patient. I'm not trying to hear that. I'm not trying to be 30 still
doing open mics to get on. Not knocking anyone that's doing it, but I'm
not. For all that I might as well be a regular ass dude with a regular
ass job making regular ass money in a regular ass apartment for the rest
of my regular ass life. I be feeling like changin my genre man. At least
other genre's artists support them through thick and thin. I saw Led
Zepplin perform for 10 people and they told me after, we've been doing
it for years and we still do it because we love it. So maybe I just
might do some different shit, cuz if rappers can lie about their past
and sell millions of records while I speak truth and I'm not signed or
nothing, I'm not with it. Yall makin me lose love for the game man real
talk. I'm sick of yall not supporting me if you claim you do! I have no
team, no fanbase, no promoters, no street team. A nigga doin Kwan Lee
TV's, putting out mixtapes and ep's all by myself, and to no avail it
has gotten me nothing. So you know what? After I finish my album and put
it out, ill see where I'm going to go from there. I'm always gonna love
hip-hop, but if it gets me nothing, I'm not putting nothing out. Fuck
around and yall might see me doing some glam shit or some pop shit next
year. Maybe even some straight R&B. I'm sick of not being supported!
