True but those who believe that are naive :patrice: You right though.

real talk tho

imagine if Desiigner kept it 100 and told this story...

"nikkas put bread up for me, I never did a show before. We made 100 tickets and had to sell them ourselves"

"Zana was a intern, that dont mean she could do shyt really...but it was a small piece of hope that we had a way in, if we make something pop on the streets"

"shout outs to saad god, he put up the bread for when I couldnt copyright my own song and paid for the studio time so I could get features off"

"them nikkaz showed love, Mike WIll called and they allowed me to do a meeting with him on my own. They didnt have to, but they real nikkaz for that"


dont that sound more interesting that hearing him and Funk Flex giggle for 30 minutes??

You know how much people that would have inspired and the unity it would have brought in circles of people trying to get on?? :whew:

First of all, why in the fukk isn't Saad God a rapper?! THIS IS THE KIND OF CAT I WANT TO RAP. He's got that hip hop rawness! Are the coolest people behind the scenes now trying to put on these weak-brained, weak personality swagless rappers? :wtf:

*edit: Dude raps. not good but more interesting than a lot of random nikkas on Youtube.

That's not how it works. You got to have connections too and for Desiigner it was the intern Zana Ray. Also Steven Victor helped who told Pusha T about Desiigner when he was asked who is the hot new artist out there.

So this rap shyt is more about connections than actual talent, and it's gotten even worse in this Youtube era? :ohhh: Tell me more :troll:

duh

but desiigner not telling anyone that. He on Hot97 acting like it was magic. This is what spawns a flood of struggle rappers getting mad because I wont click their soundcloud link on Facebook or twitter.

"dont nobody wanna support me" :mjcry:

dont that sound more interesting that hearing him and Funk Flex giggle for 30 minutes??

:laff: truf!

The reality is that this kinda behavior is common in all creative industries. People often hide the crucial steps/connections that led to their position, and will sell a narrative.

It's annoying as fukk, but it's one way of keeping competition at bay.

breh

and the crazy shyt is, its not like Desiigner/Saad is giving up the magic potion. Everything that Saad God talked about is regular struggle nikka shyt, they just made an effort.

At the 33 minute mark rant is where this guy made his fatal flaw.
Where he forgot that business is more than business and the factors that revolve around business done in good faith.

The rest of his situation makes business sense but good faith wise he was missing that and it came to cost him.

Past that, what he says could have credence but lack of good faith was his detriment.

Always be about good faith in business and life.
You can not play the tyc00n role as a black man in business, from a grassroots base and must always operate in good faith.

Just because you foot the bill or are in charge in a grassroots company.
Does not mean you can play the tyc00n role.
It will not work, and demonstrates a lack of good faith in business.
Only people who get by like that already sold out and had production Company deals slave deals with horrible splits like MCA and puff to arista.
You can not make it in rap culturally doing what this guy did in a grassroots capacity.
He had great intentions but his attitude displayed with his verbiage ruined his ability to close.
