MESSAGE:::::::
Ok listen i dont want you to get offended here...im an artist too and im just trying to gain some perspective. I mean you update a lot so i swing by your page sometimes but im wondering why it is that you charge for collabos? Im not even interested in a collab but i wanted to gain some insight like i said. 1000 dollars is a lot of money for just your voice...not even your words. I wouldnt even let someone write what comes out of my mouth let alone charge them for the use of it you know. Im not saying youre not good enough to make that type of money from a collab but what ever happened to advancing the art?..peoples love for this music? Im not trying to compare styles because everyone is meant to have a uniqueness and people are always gonna have diff interpretations when it comes to that...but as far as quality on the recording process as compared to mine it sounds like you record in a home studio. There is nothing wrong with that i started out in one of those but if youre charging a G to do work you have to come with quality. I mean i recognize you do work, many projects and all that but im a quality artist and ive worked with some crazy sick underground people on independent labels and we work for free. I mean you do you...get that money any way you can. But if you really want to become known work wit some legit people and truly collaborate as an artist. As an example...if you check out my man will spitwell on my page..i have a few tracks with him..one comin out on my CD release soon. Weve done work for free and hes way advanced as compared to you or me as far as recognition...almost 2 million plays, does shows, on an independent label. I dont know i just felt the need to kick some wisdom your way...you take it how you will but keep on the grind for real. If you arent too offended check back with me im finishing my whole CD this weekend. 14 tracks on top of 7 that i have. set to release sept 23 stay up though
MY RESPONSE::::::
He said ::::
JUST FOR YOU VOICE ...NOT EVEN YOUR WORDS- My voice has value to me...I feel my art is worth something...my words are worth more...I have worked hard on this music grind...no amateur.
WORK FOR FREE-I no longer work for free. period.
. . .
if you want to ....go ahead.
COME WITH QUALITY-obviously you have never done nor heard of a work for hire....you act like I don't know about hip-hop and the rap game man....
GET MONEY ANYWAY YOU CAN- ok.....you Work For Free!
COMPARED TO MINE- why are we comparing??????????????
WORKED WITH CRAZY SICK UNDERGROUND PEOPLE--- I as well have worked with some folk....but I do not feel the need to glorify that for people to notice I have skill........
thanks buddy for kickin some wisdom my way.....I will try to be more underground in order to be an active member of the hip-hop community....
I SAY:
Why is it that you have to fit into a particular genre to gain the respect of fellow artists.????? CAN I LIVE??????????????
I can't make it all sound the same....i mean...i listen to everything from bjork to gucci mane....so my music is on the same tip....But I love getting constructive criticism like this...
From someone who peeped the new track:
MY MESSAGE
so i just checked your music...and you do what you do well....but...that "want u more" track is definitely where your niche is...all this in the club what it do playa yadda yadda shit is hella saturated, and while you might get some people in the club to momentarily vibe to it, something like "want u more" might survive past a 15 minutes of fame situation..that song has longevity. I know so many dope mc's that I work with both male and female that would have destroyed that jealous beat, but you kinda came with some fergie pop shit.
i hope that doesn't offend you, and I'm not insinuating you should be on a pure hip hop vibe , but it just bugs me when somebody sounds like they just started rapping and they're already droppin myspace promos, so i thought i would just give you the "other side's" perspective.

MY RESPOSE
while i can understand where you are coming from I would just like to relay that I am a very versatile individual coming from all backgrounds....raised in nc all my life I moved to baltimore 3 years ago and am influenced by everything....while I know where my niche is I also know that there are people who like more than my niche....actually more of the masses...and I can not represent selling out cuz I truly come from the heart with every track I do....I appreciate your opinion....one love!
Lately,i haven't really felt like my usual happy self.....I think my time in Baltimore is coming to a close....
In NC, I was surrounded by the most wonderful people...it was all love,respect,loyalty,and art......I don't really feel the passion ...I mean...I have tried so hard to build strong friendships with the people up here but it just never turns out to be a positive relationship...I definitely have grown into a much more responsible individual though because I have really gotten to know myself...I just don't really know anyone else...
Being Nice has never gotten me anywhere.....the best thing it has gotten me is a shitload of awesome music that I write because it is the only thing that keeps me going.
Most people think I am so happy...cuz I always laugh and smile.....and I think I had tricked myself into thinking I was....
No Man could ever fufill my void...No friend could ever lead me to my true definiton...No job could ever make me think I was important...the only thing that has ever made me feel appreciated and like I was somebody is MUSIC.
savior sex with flavor blessed by his caress he is so fresh my beat my thresh- hold up test the mic...my flesh is hot from pressed wax and sound
how i get down's revolves round words,verbs,and nouns headnods downtown headnods downsouth
headnods to bangers while you work it out while you work the crowd what they heard is bound to passion's bow applauded now by time and clout you're lost and found
beyond the ground makin love to clouds
hip-hop fuckt slow by guns and hoes so sprung off of that real dope stroke ohoh ohoh
gimme mo'
single ......it...... cums and goes replaced by same old shit you know
booty low flippin doe birds and bees throwin bows puffin' o's you r klose chillin in the smoke that floats
slippin thoughts the heartless caught by sonic pleasures Very hot
damn girl-
that was nice
not ya average on the mic
they all say that steady try to bust
hip-hop fuct slow still likes it rough
still like to touch and spoon and crush
dance under the moon - smile and blush escape the club and fall in love Definition defeats the lust.
i have interest.....but i have little time and i am very skeptical of anything ever turning out positive.....
how fun is that?
....these ridiculous messages i get in my e-mails about this and that....what the fuck?stupid guys who don't have a clue.... I would rather be sitting in the mountains by a waterfall with the sun and someone there who i could talk to about something real.....I am at a complete loss for words when it comes to romance and the opposite sex....hmmmmmmm......
maybe if i put music on I could develop some love lingo....some valid pointage...
swept away by the undesireable winds of fear and focus.....
this cute guy....sigh...whatever...they're all cute...but not really....i could call him to tell him i'm doing nothing...but i don't want to do anything....but i loved kissing him....maybe that'll be enough.........
yeah....i've been trying on all sorts of different outfits...what do i want to wear? what looks good? does it fit? can i really afford it? do i really want to wear it more than once? will i grow out of it? is it my new favorite thing? does it give me comfort? does it make me look good? .....does it make me look bad? am i setting a new trend?
i don't care...i wear it if i like it...i make it my own...sometimes it's not really working out for me..i wanna try and make it fit when i know it really doesn't .i know i will be able to wear it forever....I can't believe it... i can wear it again and and again and i never get sick of it.
