Is this a hobby or a career?

Being a music artist has its good times as well as its ugly times. In the end I wouldn't change anything for the world. One of the things though as an artist or producers that we have to ask ourselves is, Do we do it cause we love it and its who we are, or do we do it just to be scene and seemingly its popular to be an artists these days. Sometimes the answer shows each day, because each day you should be working towards a goal. Are you writing, if you're a producer are you making beats? Are you hitting the studio? Are you hitting people up online making connections with people in the industry. If you answered yes, then you're making PROGRESS. If you answered no then you're probably one of those people who do it cause its the cool thing to do these days. To the artists that are really grinding keep on doing it, no matter what, the industry nor time doesn't stop so why should you. Also occasionally you may have to make tough calls on things within close family or friends in order to move forward and take care of business to help your career, sure it sounds selfish, but you have to think of it in a way of if you're scheduled for work and something comes up depending on the circumstance you still end up going to work anyway. Think of your careers and business in the same light. As an artist/or producer we live in a very different world than everyone else we only understand what it is we have to do daily and what kind of routine we have. In our society we're trained from the beginning of working jobs that you have to be told to go to work and told to do whatever your job encompasses in order not to get fired or to get that promotion. Think of getting to the next level as an artist as your promotion! We live in a unique world and see everything totally different that the average person! Being an artist is like being in a fraternity!

This week in Gaming!

I'm a little late, but each year around this time brings some real good titles for the gamers out there to enjoy during the holiday. So far this is the biggest week not counting the rest of the holiday season. Releasing this week

Fallout New Vegas


EA MMA


Kirby's Epic Yarn



Next On the List- Call Of Duty Black Ops, Microsoft Kinect and more.........

B.E.T top 10 list?

Okay so I finally got a chance to see this list and at first from what I was hearing I pretty much didn't agree with it, however my stance has changed a little being that they are talking about since the turn of the century. It breaks down as follows

1) Eminem
I had thought he started off good in the early 2k's but from about 04'-08' he was either non existent or his material to me wasn't up to par. With his latest release I thought he redeemed himself.

2) Lil' Wayne
Actually took an opposite stance on him as well early in the century. Didn't care for his music at first especially coming from Louisiana and hearing him before the rest of the nation did, but Wayne broke out and earned my respect around the Carter 2 release.

3) Kanye West
Thought his flow remained consistent throughout his career, but his production took a dip with the 808's album.

4) 50 Cent
First question mark in the top 10. To me I think he started out real good then just went downhill from there with the beefs with various artists. I think he will always be a relevant name in the industry no matter what.

5) T.I.
Very consistent album wise throughout the 2k's, for future recommendations change up the production.

6) Ludacris
I had a hard time with this one but big picture since 2001 he's put out hit after hit. My only issue was the battle of the sexes album seemed too much like a nikki minaj collabo album and not a luda album.

7) Drake
Great artist, however should not be in the top 10, he's only been relevant for the last 2 years. I think Drake has a bright future as long as he keeps on doing what he's doing.

8) Young Jeezy
Was hard for me to agree with as well, his first album Thug Motivation 101 was a classic. He's made solid albums, but hasn't came close to matching that first one. I also think its time for him to get some more lively production.

9) Jadakiss

I think probably should be much higher than he is on the list, this man has 3 albums and none of them of sub par. His last album Last Kiss was also a classic that I couldn't stop playing. Jada also will continue to have a bright future.

10) Rick Ross
Should probably be a little higher on the list as well. Has delivered the COMPLETE package with flow and picking good production for all of his albums.

Current Thoughts!

Can't go into detail, but something may be happening soon where life could be changing forever for the better. Years of work and putting a lot into making music and making connections could very well be paying off, regardless of how things turn out this time, I see I am not far from really getting to live off of this music. Over the last few months I've met a few good artists not only offline, but also online. I've made a few good connections with a few artists and labels as well. To you artists or producers wanting to live your dreams, it is definitely possible but it isn't something that is just going to happen. You not only have to have the work ethic, but also a drive like no other. A lot of times our family and friends will say they believe in what we are doing, but don't realize at the same time how real this music thing is. We're not playing video games we're leading real careers and running real businesses. In society we're taught to think with a slave mentality a 9:00-5:00 mentality, we're not taught to pursue what we want and go get it. A lot of times our family who's minds are programmed with that same mentality will try to get you the game cause they think its cool to get off work and have a couple of cold beers and sit down and watch tv, then you got the homies who sit down all day hanging out smoking weed all day between the two you won't get anywhere with your careers. You the only one that can change your life not anyone else. You do all this next thing you know you wake up 40 and broke wishing you could have done things differently. What I'm saying is never give up , stay making music, making connections and on your shit cause those same people who didn't believe or take you seriously will be there when the "Real Checks" start flowing. I'm not saying don't help, but remind them that they thought it was a hobby when you were living a career. Whats going on with me? Well, you will be the first to know depending on how this week goes, lets jst say this happens and it will be a big step for me as a producer!!!!!

Dr. Laura I Reject Your Deposit!

As I said with Don Imus years ago NO APOLOGIES accepted! I was always taught if you say something , mean what you say and in my opinion she ment what she said. As an artists yes I use the word "Nigga" on and of records and have all my life and probably will continue to in the future. I hear people of many different races asian , black, hispanic and very few whites at times. I think we all have a little "Nigga" in us now as far as the word Nigger its a hate word and I will never let anyone of any race say it in that context. First off its a whole different story when you're on the receiving end from someone white saying that, cause personally I probably wouldn't respond in the most friendliest way if that would happen. The other thing I disagree with is that if you don't want people to call your significant other that then maybe you should date or marry the same race. I think we're at an day and age whree more and more inter-racial relationships and families are being started and I don't see a problem, I think its a major stride in easing the racism but at the same time its creating more hate by some. I say to those, get out of the "old days" times had to change! There are still a lot of people who are ignorant to this issue from ALL RACES, you beliefs are your beliefs, don't come around me with it though! It was also not okay for Kramer to say that a while back as well
