What was the biggest mistake your favorite artists made and what should they have done differently

[Ear2DaSt]

Pharoah should of recorded material before he got locked up so they could drop 1 more Street Military album.

Street Military should of raised more for promotion and recorded at least 2 more albums

There is alot of politics in underground Hip Hop

You have to work with other rappers from the S.P.C. ... every rapper counts ... and it's hard to keep everyone on the same page .... people are gonna like your or hate you and their fans follow ....each rapper has friends and family each count the numbers add up ... everyone has a vision .... this is the streets ... no Meek Mills no Wale no Cole ... the only thing is South Park. Niccaz don't give a dang you wanna be a rapper or your style is better ... the more hood you are the more you struggle the more you respected ... you try to come in there shining to hard .... gutter South Park ni99az aint gone feel ya.

Some kats don't wanna hear ya if you aint SUC or Swishahouse

as dope as Street Military is the culture is set in place you try and come with some different it's harder

even the reason has it's own culture and no matter how dope you are there are obstacles

plenty of dope rappers don't get proper shine

I still think that Street Military can rise above the limitations

Akinele should of never chased the pornocore route

- 50 Cent should have tried to diversify his content and been more introspective (tell us about your personal relationships with women and in business, people scheming, etc). He stayed one dimensional and it hurt him and by the time he realised it by then his audience had moved on.

- Lloyd Banks needs to be more visible and release videos for his music and actively promoted them

- Pac should have stayed home

- Big shouldn't have gone to LA without security left right and center especially after Pac's shooting. If he had people in the streets he should have had a heads up.

- 50 Cent should have taken Coca Cola stock entirely instead of cash when he sold vitamin water (SMMFH)

- Jay, Fif, Dre should have bought Tupac's catalogue

- Currensy and Big KRIT need to stop giving away free music. It's simple - a label can't promote and will not fully promote an album if their artist gives away most his music for free because fans won't pay for it especially Fuckin rap fans, the diehard fans might hit everyone else will just wait for the free music. Rap fans have no loyalty, they will complain but rarely support the artist. Spitta and KRIT will never blow until they figure this out. Why would I invest $3 million when we might recoup 200k because you gave the music away for free ? SMMFH

- Lil Wayne is never gonna see a dime from cash money lawsuit. He's gonna have to walk. Leave cash money and go sign to Rocnation already

- ASAP Rocky needs to return to music and leave partying and girls alone for a while. He isn't focused.

- Fab needs to make Soul Tape 4 an album and stop giving away free music

You do know most rapper make more money off touring than actually album sales. So why wouldn't they put out new music to tour to. Artist promote themselves more than the label now of days. Label are almost obsolete. Mixtape is the artist doing the music they want to do while promoting themselves and do shows off it, at the same time
