Oh I see they want to do the whole big label shit.That's wack cause they just going to shelf them wether they hot or not.They should fuck wit the indie tip and get money.It's not that hard to get a following in NY if they have a click behind them.

same shit i said. mainstream labels dont give a fuck they put u in the stores and if u dont sell enuff u get dropped. indie labels give artists a chance to grow.

NIGGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you tryna sell me a cd, why should i buy it???

cause you asked me???
cause i like the artwork???
cause i thought your outfit was fly???
cause i thought you was a bum and i wanted to help you out???

shit,
i never heard your music before, yes rap for me so i can atleast hear what you sound like.

before i go to the movies i atleast get to see a 22 second trailer for months at a time before i ever see the movie.

you tellin me you cant rap for 45-90 seconds to give me a preview of what im about to spend my money on???

aww man, this aint hip hop

but this is the reason i be impressin these folks everywhere i go and gettin them sales.
cause they so used to so many NIGGAS wit bad attitudes tryna force them a cd and not rap that when i actually do come with a respectable approach and rap/ a full fukkin song(of their choice off the album),
they have no choice but to cop or atleast get my contact info so they can set up a meeting to cop later

no rappin ass niggas,
i jus hate them,
and like boosie **im mad**

TS got a point...if you been tryin to make it since you were 18 and haven't by 30 you need to pursue other avenues...I'm not saying give it up but you can't base your whole life on chasing a pipe dream the only thing that will happen is once you finally realize it's not gonna work you've wasted precious time you could've been preparing yourself for a solid career in something else

By no means do I say quit doing what you love but definately have a solid back up plan. Don't be the 30 year old that just thinks he's gonna be Jay Z and thats all you want to do or even try to do. Make other lanes available.

But still TS as logical as it may seem some people do make it after 30 but honestly why should someone stop doing something they love because of their age?

and for all you scary non rappin ass nigguz that jus might be readin this thread

atleast start carried around a cd player/laptop/mp3 players/music phone SOMETHING to let your intended consumer hear the music

nigguz got the heart to ask you for yo money but got the nerve to not have the heart to rap

this is the reason why honest brothas who actually give a shit about hip hop get so much trouble

cause its so many hustla ass niggas out here jus doin music for the money.

hip hop aint a hustle. you want a hustle, get yo ass on the intersection and sell some bottled water and flowers

Co-sign both of these. Jay Electronica is 34 years old and about to FINALLY release his debut album in a little while so...you know the old saying. Word to Aaliyah.

Saw thread title and thought of this. But at some point if you've been hustling hard and still ain't making it out the traps....... then it's time to fall back.

Didn't the Rapper Young Dro drop his album at like 29 or 30? IMO as long as he takes care of home why not pursue his dream still look at them Rock cats. Them old cats stay in the top 10 money makers in the music game B.

I'm think of start a rap career once I turn 40. There's a untapped market of old heads not satisfied with the rap game.

See the thing about entertainment and art is... you say that joking...somebody might see that, take it serious and make it pop.
