Blessed to Be Where I'm Headed

Too Much Beef These Days

Wut up ya'll week 3 with the blogs and I'm on schedule (but the blog's posted a little late because my man Shake is a lazy bum! Jokes) A lot of cats don't remain consistent with their blogs but I'm gonna stay consistent even when things get hectic. Speaking of hectic; it was a hectic week for some hardcore Hip Hop fans and media people (Especially for those who cheer and support the up and comers). I wanted to talk about a few different things this week but my plans changed. I don't like to see young brothers beefing with each other. Saigon is my dude and I know him personally. When he got the "Hip Hop Quotable" I was one of the first cats he called up on the spot even before the issue was out cause I used to build with him real early before he popped like that. I respect Sai and a lot of cats don't know how hard the grind is. They see lil shit now and say "man why ain't ya album out" or say "why don't you leak out more music." I don't think cats know how hard it is to constantly make music and stay inspired to write dope shit. Saigon has leaked over 60 songs out there for free before his album. He's grinded and I recall him doing shows to just get his respect and props from his peers and the underground scene in NY. This shit ain't easy, he's been at it for a while. Dude is tired and frustrated with the game so be it. Let the man be. Unless you in the man’s shoes don't speak on his actions like you know everything that’s going on. That cat has been through a lot at his young age both in real life and with this music.

Joe Budden is cool peoples. We've spoken a few times. He's a class act and a good dude. I really hope this shit gets squared away. These dudes aren't just "rappers" at the end of the day. They are real people. Not fuckin’ characters out of a comic book. This shit is all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. I hope the beef doesn't escalate into something serious at all and is just a major misunderstanding. Also all those cats that say "this beef would be good for hip hop"; I disagree. These cats making music together, dropping an album and receiving mainstream success would be “good for Hip Hop.” These 2 gunners are some of the most important up and coming cats for the next generation. As a true MC, I'm pulling for the both of them. I don't know what Hip Hop is turning into man. It’s like the music is the last thing cats care about these days. You know what’s funny to me? Hip Hop is weird man. People say "somebody needs to stand up for this Hip Hop shit the corps have taken over." Somebody like Nas says "Hip Hop is dead" and "save the music and the culture." He gets nothing but grief for that shit. When nobody says shit everybody is fuckin pissed but the minute somebody as credible and relevant as Nas is says something it’s like "whatever." What the fuck do people want? How was he so wrong? Aren't many aspects that the culture was based on being misrepresented across mainstream media today? Oh no my bad, it’s just evolution! RIGHT! Hip Hop heads scream for shit that they want and when they get it; they're like "fuck that." Shit makes no sense.

I was supposed to leak that G Rap song (hiphopdx.com/index/audio/id.3670) last week and here it is actually. I apologize for that there was some technical difficulties. We about to get serious right now and whoever is reading this blog is about to start seeing me across the board on many other outlets. The concept of this blog is so you can follow the progression of a man stepping from behind the scenes and trying to step into the light doing his thing. Some of you will observe my mistakes. Hopefully you learn. I'm going hard on a promo run and I just signed a situation I can't speak too much on but it’s pretty much got me exactly what I been grinding so hard for since the day I decided this is what I wanted. So far so good and I'm excited. My team and I are in place to do some real good things and I think the timing of everything is benefiting me. I'm about to leak a song in 2 weeks, MAJOR posse cut. I promise! You'll get it here on DX first, best believe that. I got a beef or 2 with a few rappers out there that I haven't settled yet as well as with some clients I wrote for. Its lame at the end of the day but you know the quality of music is first. I'm about putting some quality shit out there and giving ya'll raw shit. This mixtape will give you exactly that. Hopefully I'll start buzzing real soon and I ain't gonna forget what it’s about. It’s about the music first. Fuck all the record sales, Myspace hits, who's fuckin who, who's signed to who. Who the fuck cares! Who has more money than him and her. Who the fuck cares! Start saying some hot shit when you rhyme. That’s all I give a fuck about.
