Somebody needed to tell em...

I’m growing tired of overly opinionated rappers. You know, the type that spend more time talking about who sucks than they do making music? And when they do make music, most of the lyrics are about how good their lyrically lyrical lyrics are? Yeah those people.

Usually these opinionated rappers are underground artists with 0 followers other than their friends and their friends little sisters.

What the fuck is the point of writing a whole song about how good you are at writing songs? How can you preach about having a message in your music, and then the only message in your music is that you have a message in your music. I think I’d rather hear some simple nonsense about partying or hoes.

Rather than rant all day about this, I pose the following question.

Are you really mad at them for being wack and still having fans and money, or are you mad at yourself for working twice as hard on your music and having no fans and no money (or anything else to show for it)?

I think it would be far more practical to ignore the artist than to talk shit about them. First, when you talk about them you are adding to their press and thus adding to your problem. Second, you are wasting your own precious time.

EVEN BETTER SOLUTION: Study these artists. If they managed to become successful with music that you think sucks, and you think your music is better, then you should have plenty to learn from them. Maybe you could take something from their marketing techniques or work ethic.

The industry is not a conspiracy against anyone with real content in his or her music. In fact, I personally believe that content of music and talent are almost entirely irrelevant to your level of success. You can suck and still be successful or you can be awesome and be successful. On the flipside, you can suck and be broke or you can be awesome and broke.

All I’m saying is this: Rather than looking at what other people are doing and what they have and judging them for that, work on yourself. I guarantee Soulja Boy isn’t somewhere riding in his Lambo with a bad chick, telling her how wack YOUR lyrics are.

I'm saying this cause I care. Ha.
