Just A Thought....

I was just thinking. With all the good that's going on (b+c magazine launching, the various signings, and me possibly producing for what could be the greatest female rapper of all time), how will people act when its really great?

Personally I think all the people that acted "hollywood" is gonna play it off like we go way back and all these girls that was either frontin or acted like we weren't good enough is gonna say hi and smile like I think about them in my sleep!

I know for sure its gonna be a lot of shadiness and suspect shit going on. Not within the circle though. I will be appreciative of whatever better comes my way. Sucess to me is living to tell it.....

More emphasis will be put on the shadiness soon!

Critical Thinkin

I've been thinking for a while. The website is going great I must admit, but I want to take it bigger than this. My guerilla advertising campaign actually worked. I still can't believe people are tuning in. Along with every territory there are people who try to discourage me, but my eyes are on the prize. If this music don't work out as far as me rapping goes, I got my beats and my video editing to fall back on when it comes to getting in the game. But I know sucess is whispering in my ear. She keeps toying with me lol....

Quick Thoughts

1. Will the rap game ever rise to what it was a couple of years back?

2. What's better, undergound sucess or major sucess? I'm asking because the internet is the new word of mouth and a lot of people are popular online.

3. Is my website going to be the 2009 version of the old video music box?

4. Will I ever be on boysandclothes.com?

5. What exactly will 2009 bring for me and my crew?

Just some quick thoughts. Gimme feedback....

If I Suffered from Nepotism...

Blogging on the go as usual...

A couple of days ago, I learned a new word and I said I would elaborate on it.

Nepotism is like a hook up. Its not what you know, its who you know. Examples of that would be that person who gets that position you've went to school for and spent endless summers interning for because he's the vice president's son or somebody's nephew. Its not what you know, its who you know.

As we all know, nepotism definitely is in the workplace. Its attained by brown nosing or rubbing shoulders with the right people. I call it like I see it. Ass-kissing. There is no other way to put it. Some people even go as far as fucking someone in the workplace for a better position. I don't condone that. Earn ya shit just like the rest of us.

Its always around us, especially in this music game I'm trying to get into. A hook up is good, but with nepotism its a notch higher. Annoyingly higher. To the point where your record may be better, but because he's the boss's man, he's gonna get promoted and pushed. So while you got that club banger, mr bossman is gonna slide his man's cd to the dj's while you promotin your shit on myspace.

So basically nepotism= more bullshit to add on to your fucked up day.

What If?

I played my mega millions a couple of hours ago like a lot of yall. The jackpot is 146 million. I see the results at 11:20. I get one number. Damn. While the intro to Don't Be Cruel is playing in my head (I love that singing in the beginning of the song), I'm thinking to myself, what if? What if I hit lotto for 146 million?
I'm a simple dude, so all I would do is buy a house, furnish it (nothing too fancy), build a studio, get mad sneakers and clothes, pay my bills, pay my grandmother house off, and get a new benz or something. That's it.
I would invest some of the money into a business. The rest I would put up and not touch. I don't wanna be known as a rich guy. As a matter of fact, if I did win, I would tell them keep me anonymous. I know people would come out of the woodwork and start speaking to me, like we go back like Jordan and Nike (pfft!).
I'm tellin you if I was to ever get money like that only few people would know!!! And that would be my business partners, close family, my woman, and my inner circle. I'd definitely make a way for the people around me to get money too.
As far as music goes, I'd get a mac maxed out memory wise strictly for recording, about 2 terabytes worth of hard drive space, pro tools, and a real nice board. Put it in the basement of the crib, soundproof it, get 2 mics, and I'm good.
I'd get another computer strictly for making beats with a mpc 2500 and a keyboard. I'd just get a deal for distribution and marketing. That's it that's all. No MTV Cribs, no Lifestlyes of the Rich and Famous, no tv specials. I wanna stay low key.
