Musical masturbation is my diagnosis for rappers (or any artists) who aren’t really trying to do anything significant in this game. They’re just fucking around, forever hobbyists just shootin “one offs”. They won’t invest in their projects, or themselves. They’ll never incorporate their company or label because that would actually force them to think of this as a business. So what will they do? Continue to talk shit, drop links on Twitter and Facebook to their poorly mixed tracks and pose as though they’re actually trying to do something.
They sit back and laugh at rappers’ failures and credit other rappers’ successes to secret organizations like the Illuminati. It can’t be that these successful artists have more business savvy or even better music than they have. They’ll take some of the knowledge I give on this blog and regurgitate it, but they won’t apply it. Most of these issues will never affect them anyhow. No one will ever offer them a 360 deal because they’ll never put in the work for anyone to ever be remotely interested.
If this is you, you’re cluttering up internet bandwidth. And not to mention my email inbox. I mean really, you should see some of the shit that doesn’t make it to this blog. And as this site becomes more popular, my number of submissions increase. This leaves me with the task of sifting through heaps of garbage to find few treasures. Most are still using Myspace as their primary page. Some still have poor pictures of themselves. And some of the ones that do make it to this blog, DON’T PROMOTE THEIR OWN POSTS!! This boggles my mind!
There’s no gatekeeper blocking you out of the game right now. You can do this shit on your own with some good hustle and a bit of talent. I think some rappers need a boogeyman that they can blame for shutting them out of the industry. It’s not there anymore!
Why am I ranting about this? It’s because after 2 years of running this blog, my patience for those who want to stay stuck in the slow lane has all but run out. Please unfriend me, unfollow me, unsubscribe to this blog if you suffer from this desease and if you plan to stay stuck in little league. My mission is to truly help indie hip hop artists, who are serious, learn how to become empowered economically, learn the business, and control the distribution of their art. If you’re not about that and you’re just looking for a post, you’ll be better off somewhere else.
