Cool..
I'm just a rap fan though I suppose.. Which is probably why I've been bumping heads with posters that like watching other n1ggas pockets or chart positions for almost a decade now...
And I applaud you for that......
not being sarcastic breh
cause I have and always will be a diehard B-BOY and Fan of the CULTURE....
and ANYBODY FAMILIAR with my threads know damn well that I AM A SINCERE HIP HOP HEAD
but when you get involved with an aspect of this industry that exposes you to contract negotiations, issues over intellectual property and marketing as I have been
it's like opening a PANDORA'S BOX ................and I ain't NEVER BEEN THE SAME
just like today.....im suppose to be enjoying my fukking birthday.....I just wanna sit back at the crib on this sunday morning sipping liquor and watching a NFL game
but now i just got informed early this morning ..I got a fukking meeting with a guy going over managerial contracts and countless other documents cause this guy to CHEAP to get a Lawyer...
and this is dealing with a HIP HOP DEEJAY.........
so my PERSPECTIVE of the culture has to align COMMERCE with ART.....
but hey ..I signed up for this

I'm getting compensated for this
so I take the good with the bad... ....but
I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY....and I do HIGHLY RESPECT BUSTA RHYMES...that's why I said what I said....
I just know the INDUSTRY has left a bitter taste in his mouth, just like it has done me...particularly for BUSTA as a Black Hip Hop artist whose peak was in the 90's
you got to understand it's the POLITICS OF THE INDUSTRY that created the BUSTA RHYMES that you so admire....
going back to his issues with group the L.O.N.S ...then down the line to his fukked up situation as a solo artist with Elecktra Records and that she-devil Sylvia Rhone
along with the transformations and adaptations he felt he had to make during his transition to Interscope , while dealing with all the madness at Violator ....his management company....
so for me PERSONALLY it's DEEPER THAN JUST RAP......and you might not agree....but you gotta at least RESPECT THAT
