I've been rapping over some beats now and then for the past couple of years and I'm trying to get my mixtape done, early 2009, with my homie Simple García. It's in spanish, tho.

So if you need a spanish verse, holla at me, LOL!

i just peeped your shit homie, you got sum dope stuff no doubt, i feel the vibe you on, that west coast bomb cut is dope, was that u on the hook? who did the beat? (we drunks over here too, in the worse way!)....good shit man, keep grindin' and good luck wit your hustle.....

Thanks for the love, most appreciated.... West Coast Bomb is done over a Dj Quick beat, and the hook and second verse are the homie Rythm K....

a lot of the stuff on my page right now is mixtape shit..... Glitters Ain't Golden, In My Life ft. Noah Jones, and Cherrish You (if that song is even still there) are all songs that I produced.....

? not really buddy.... so are you saying that you can't rap cause you're white? cause the homie Epademik would beg to differ..... My fam from Ill Lit would like to challenge that notion..... I don't play the race game in my music, if somebody is dope, they dope, if not, then not... that's it....

Most of the people in this thread are the main problem with hip-hop today. No one's content to be a fan anymore - they have to be a wanna-be artist too. As KRS One once said, there was a time when to release a record you had to undergo a rite of passage in terms of rocking shows and mics before you were lauded good enough to cut a record. Now that's gone. The internet allows any dick to be 'a producer'. A damn shame.

thats bullshit cuz its a good outlet for people to put their music out. if the music is good and people catch on they might get somewhere, its the same thing as sellin shit out your trunk and getting enough support to be big time. its also good promotion for people looking for artists/prodcuers. thats not a bad thing homie, it can actually be a real good thing.

Shit homie, lemme cop some of them, Bad a$$ got issues these days....

I got a few homies (who coincidently do not know each other) who tell identicle stories about Bad Azz. He's an awesome artists, but has some major problems in his personal and business life.....

I was basically suggesting (in a nice sugared way) that you might want to spend more energy on getting G Malone than getting Bad Azz because NO ONE has blown up from doing anything with Bad Azz..... where as G Malone was instrumental in the success of The Young Hoggs who are currently enjoying a lucrative and growing underground carrier......

no disrespect to Bad Azz was intended. Strictly Business, Never Personal.....

quoting KRS-One for the greater evil..... that is so blasphemous.....

Look homie, I don't know if you were refering to me or to others in this thread (cause I been rockin stages since 2001 and didn't release my first CD until 2005) but the fact of the matter is, anyone who does this Hip-Hop shit and is any good at it, IS A FAN!!!!!

How can you make Hip-Hop without being a fan of it in the first place??? That's like playin Jazz piano and not being able to stand Miles Davis... that's fuckin stupid.....

Granted, there is A LOT of FILLER in today's Hip-Hop market.... but open your eyes, it's not just Hip-Hop... Rock, alternative, R&B, Soul.... all genre's of music have had their ranks infiltrated by people who have little to no actual talent with regards to their respective genres, but that's just the way it goes.... If there were no filler in Hip-Hop, THEN you might start to wonder about us... like, "can Hip-Hop survive?" type shit.....

and then, based on your quotation, How do you know who's a fan, an artist or a "Wannabe" Artist?
Are you suppose to be the judge of all this and we are all suppose to enforce your judgement??
Are we suppose to call you before we buy a CD from an unknown artist to make sure it's ok?
Oh Please Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!!!! LMAO fuck that shit.....

THE TRUE POWER OF AN MC IS TO INSPIRE...... KRS, often puts his foot in his mouth with some of the things he says because he seems to forget.... SOMEONE INSPIRED HIM TO RAP, just like he has inspired Thousands if not millions of others to do the same.....The quote that you used, even though you took it out of context, was a bit hipocritical anyways.....
