1. I have nationwide distribution through my INDY label... luck has nothing to do with it.. it's all networking.

My whole strategy is to take my Indy label as far as possible to keep from having to feed 100 other "overhead" people before I make my own plate. The money goes farther and last longer... I'm almost there..
2. Image sells faster than talent. Talent sells for much longer. I'm a damn good rapper.. I just have to find my lane... It's all coming, just more slowly that BET would have you to believe. I'm well on my way...
All I'm saying is.. I'm eating.. I ain't rich, but I'm working in the field of my choosing, doing what I love, and making head room. A lot of ya'll got jobs ya'll hate with no upward mobility. I don'tat ya'll though.. I pity you. I think it's because of this that ya'll laugh at cats like me that have the fortitude to buck the system and try to be something different than a worker bee drone. Like dude said earlier, almost everybody wanted to hoop or be a movie star as a kid. Only some of us still believe in that possibility. The rest of ya'll that forgot how to fly, laugh at us that still try to -- out of some latent insecurity or envy or something. I can't call it..
Couple of yal a soundin a lil hurt so let me clear some things up.
I don't wanna knock anyone hustle, you doing yo thing and I respect that and I'm in not in anyway salty or hating. I just think a lot of young black males are wasting a hell of their lives. Just imaging how many people are gonna fall into their 30's failing when they could of went and got a career. This generation is developing a lot of future beer bums. IMO.
At least chasing a sports dream keeps you in school and sooner or later you'll know if you'll make it or not. There's not a scale to measure when your times up as a rapper so people keep goin and goin.
