Blessed to Be Where I'm Headed

Fuck This Game, I'm Done!

What up ya'll week 2 of this year with the blog. The past couple of years we've heard from more rappers than we should about "retirement." Anybody who believes anyone of these brothers is naive or simple minded. Fact is Jay-Z tends to start trends without even knowing. That whole retirement shit sounds good for rappers to say but fact is this ain't nothing like sports. In sports the stats will just show you when it’s time to quit or your knees will blow out. This rap shit ain't like that at all. If your knee's go out on stage then you don't need to retire from Hip Hop, you just need to upgrade your body with calcium. Real is real it seems corny with all these MC's talking about retirement especially when some of them ain't even been in the game a decade strong. With Saigon I don't think it was a cry for attention. I think he truly meant that shit and that’s how he felt at the time. He was frustrated. With these other dudes, I think it’s a ploy like when a female wants to hear dudes say "you’re so pretty" even though it’s obvious that they are. They just trying to hear "no please we need you don't go." Dudes is all of a sudden retiring from rap. What the fuck is this? In the words of Killa Priest ... "What part of the game is that."

I'm a move on now cause "Urban Legends" (http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/audio/id.4044) has caused some controversy. For the record I was not getting at Nas or 50. I don't understand why cats don't listen. Right after the 50 line I said "that’s stricly bullshit." One blogger that I found on google said I claimed to have known who killed Jam Master Jay. LOL What the fuck? When did I claim to have any information on that case? I said "he got clapped for some shit that I can't really say." Shit who said I knew any information? Then there's the Nas line. "know mad niggaz who if they see you bling it’s a fact/ in public, like Nas ... they don't know how to act." I'm referring to the fact that I know people who if they see jewels shining even in public they don't know how to act ... like NAS. I'm not saying my boys robbed Nas at all. I'm saying my boys don't know how to act ... like NAS. Ever seen Belly? Nas is one of my top 3 favorite rappers so this ain't a diss on dude. He's one of my top 3 favorite rappers but on the same token he's one of the 5 worst lead actors I've ever seen as well. Who cares if Nas is an actor though? He's an MC and that I will NEVER discredit him for. Sorry if that line went a bit over your heads.

Also, there's no dry snitching on that record as some lame or misunderstood fans said. Nobody is going to jail because of that song. Everything I spoke about cats either said it in print, have said it on a DVD, or on wax. If there was something fresh you never heard on the record before which there was a few things, trust me it wasn't dry snitching. No street dudes is trying to chase me down cause they can catch a case cause of it. Anybody who thinks that doesn't understand what it is. Just cause you watch "Street Smarts" on TV doesn't mean you know what’s going down in the hood. Fact is when you watch you probably get some of the answers wrong. It’s ok I understand. Now with all this misunderstanding of my record I'm feeling like I want to retire. So please post comments and tell me how I shouldn't cause I will feel so much better about my day if ya'll did that. You know nobody gets "Urban Legends." They thought I snitched, they thought it was a publicity stunt, they got my words misconstrued. Fuck this I'm done with rap. Thank god my boy manages Best Buy. I'm going over there and fuck this rap game. Ok hope some you understand I'm not serious. Don't sit here and put me in that box and respond like "no name rapper quits before he started"......Hey you never know! I know a few people who don't catch on to basic sarcasm. They Hip Hop fans too!

Hopefully that cleared a few things for you nincompoops who said silly ass comments. If it didn't then think as you wish. You can take my words and interpret them as you please. As long as you’re listening that’s fine by me. Grafh (of Black Hand) who's affiliated with so many respected OG's across the globe put it best. "Bless ain't snitch he's just describing niggaz strengths and weakness points. Too bad for them they shouldn't get mad. They should just get stronger." Real OG's in NY I have spoken to from the Black Hand fam (do your research) to cats affiliated with some of the things I said on the song. They all know what it is. One person I know was there for like 3 of the situations I spoke about in the song. He knew what it was. For all you cats that thought I was just a knuckle head kid who did that not knowing what I was doing, sorry but you were wrong! I choose my words very carefully at all times. I knew when I was writing it what the difference between my song was versus somebody who put shit out there that will have his door being knocked on by the smurfs. I don't talk much about me personally. I don't claim to be no gangster or no superthug. I'm not a featherweight though when it comes to street shit. It is what it is, I'm no slouch. If you thought I was then that sucks for you. I meant everything I said on the record if cats got mad. Even if you’re an artist. If you got offended then don't worry we'll eventually talk or whatever. I won't get caught sleeping not knowing that I can be accountable for my words. My show dates will appear online or whatever so I ain't hard to get at in person. Not hard to contact either you can myspace me and I will respond personally right back to you we can build on the phone, meet up or whatever you want. For now, it’s a dead issue cause I got more music to release.
