I think its more a sense of authenticity.

I would rather an authentic gangster than a lying positive artist. I know that sounds bad but many in here say "does it matter he is a plant?" but then he keeps throwing it in our face that he is indie; so whether or not it matters to us, it matters to him, hence the need to rehash how indie he is.lol

Im here trying to start my label with 0 support doing music full-time. Doors get closed on my face on the daily. Check my post history; I've associated with everything from Epidemic/Sobe to most recently TDE and I've come to the conclusion its easier to get admitted to Hogwarts School of Magic than to make it in music. I've came a long way this last year post-TDE that I've build a lil fanbase for myself and label but its taken a lot blood, sweat, tears and fears. Then to see someone blow up with a snap of fingers and continuously throw the "indie" label around that I embody....then to find out its not really indie....:mjcry:

what happened to keeping it real?

How many times is this type of thread going to get made? When is everyone going to realize it's about $$$. If you have someone backing you to get placements at SXSW and other showcases, it puts you on the radar and shows you're serious. The dumbest thing any artist can do is say screw all of that, I'm going to do it the old fashion way and "get discovered". News flash that shyt don't happen. Wendy Day has a whole course on youtube on how everything works for those that are interested.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
You know what I don't get @The HONORABLE SKJ is how more nikkas ain't into the business side of this shyt. These nikkas claim to be bosses and shyt but the real bosses is Doug Morris, John McClain, Jimmy Iovine, Clive Davis, and Tommy Mottola. These guys are the real movers, shakers and power players.
because you don't just BECOME a boss

those dudes aren't artists... they don't have to spend the majority of their time doing artist shyt.. they have time to build business relationships and go to school and learn shyt and take internships and be groomed and watch the shyt go down


now if you're talking about why all these internet rappers don't just focus on being label honchos.. well yea.. everyone wants to be a star

So after reading that

Is everyone that likes his music is robots who were programmed?

U dudes love to call plant on music u don't like from artists u don't like getting shining more than folks u like


And I'm not a chance fan
Has not heard a full chance song in my life
who likes his music?

well first off... humans tend to be programmed easy by repetition.. so you keep hearing the same shyt, you fall into liking it or at least remembering it... ever had a song/hook stuck in your head cause you heard it a million times but don't even like the song?


but yea... how many people you know bumping chance? what his sales looking like? what's his solo chart topping joints? where are all these chance fans?

i guess i'm not understanding your question?

WHO should be bossing up for real?


all i'm saying is if you meant artists... they don't have that type of time.. even a jay-z didn't start bossing up till he "retired" and he still technically a worker since he's on a label.. it's just too hard to be doing both

Lemme try to keep it simple cause I don't even feel like going back and forth bout this right now, lol

I just mean once these artists who project themselves as "bosses" have been in the game for some time, they should try to make the transition to more behind the scenes roles/positions if they think their fit for the job and if they think they have what it takes for whatever higher up position they desire to have.

That's all.

And I'm talking bout once they pretty much finish with their runs as mcs/rappers/entertainers
