Your still not gettin' it. My homie is 23 with 5 kids, can rap better than 99% of ppl i know. But he cant get time to do any music because right now hes on a full time grind. Labels to don't got to hoods. I have a background in the music business, a serious one. Labels are not going into the hood to find talent. they search the net for artist that have a fanbase already and then sign them. they dont want to do the A&Rs are not looking to polish the rapper anymore. they want an already put together kit they can put there name on.... Look at trinidad james. That is one way, the other way is knowing somebody. If you rap (the best ever) right? but aint dropped no tapes and songs or nobody knows you, im not wasting my time. artist developement is dead. i know this from experiences. i i been in the big offices in atl and NY/NJ met some of your fave rappers and even non faves(benzino for one but that guy is a money machine genius) they don't want the hood nigga with a risk of losing their money to the streets or a personality. but yes grinding is the only part that matters. if was about rhymes we would have a much different radio. like jay said "truthfully i wanna rhyme like common sense(but i did 5 mill) i aint been rappn liker common since".Bra...talent is talent. Period. Labels go to hoods ALL DAY. Labels know where that advance money coming back from, in the back of their minds...They need each other labels and artist....It's simple. In fact, labels need artists..Artist don't need labels.
If you're good at what you do...Ppl gonna notice..If you're great at what you more ppl gonna notice..
I can rap....But I ain't famous...I don't work hard enough on the craft..
MFers hustle to put money in the pockets where I'm from..Not robbing banks because I guess they ain't stupid enough..The ones that are...You hear about em on the evening news...And bra...I'm from the bottom of the bottoms bottom..And I learned to use the internet as well as do over time..Not having or not using ain't an excuse for nothing.
My brothers 36 and just went back to college last year...The reason I had EVERYTHING I did as a kid was because of him hustling....
Dont give me no excuses.... If you can rap, you can get signed...It's all on how bad you want it.
i have lots of felonies..... and am ghetto has fuck!!!! im not gettening no comfy desk job... my best bet would be blue collar construction work.. breaking my fucking back for 35$ an hour or so..... u need to know someone to get into that.. which i do... but.. they wake up early has fuck.. be at work at 6 am!!! they drug test too.... and right now there is no work period!!!!! and when the work comes.. only the most plugged ones getting work.. everyone else left to rot at the union hall...Bra...talent is talent. Period. Labels go to hoods ALL DAY. Labels know where that advance money coming back from, in the back of their minds...They need each other labels and artist....It's simple. In fact, labels need artists..Artist don't need labels.

That's and the fact that you missed #5. Have a strong ass intellect. And a solid mind and heart......
The shit that we seen or had to see on a daily basis coming up, makes us who we are...Our strength from life experience is SECOND TO NONE. The problem is finding the way to cull that experience and do something special with it...

two chainz been in the industry over ten years(met him and his manager on two occasions back in 03) right along with t.i.'s manager while performing at his club in atl. where my car got broken into. he had time to pefect "his" style. drake is co-signed by real thugs in houston and memphis where his pops is a crackhead. i know this for fact.It ain't that your homie don't get time...It's that he don't make time..A wise man once said that to me, and I havent since said that I didn't have time for anything..Bcuz I plan and make time for when it's due man. Think about that..
And ok, labels don't go to hoods...That's understandable....We'll the hood damn sure gets to the label....And they work it out from there..
Drug money finances the rap game bra....That's a FACT. I be execs turn their heads like the state of Cali in regards to weed.
You ain't gone get some rapper that ain't from the hood to connect with ppl that are...I mean...Drake is paid, but it still co-signed by nobody like that...He just talks a lot it about the life and got with the right team at the right time.
You ain't tellin me 2chainz came up of his flow alone...I can say the same for half these rapper out here...If you bang bra you would know this...
