It is never about the Hype

It is easy to get caught up in the hype of things. it is easy to recite meaningless words when the true spirit of what got you picking up the pen is gone. it is easy to do the right thing with the wrong spirit. it is easy to point fingers. it is easy to be plastic.

the world is transient, organics are expensive because there is always a cheaper imitation just around the corner. this has forced a lot of trusted brands to water down, and weaken their material to keep up with times and survive the times.

you really get cornered empty shows and hungry children. Demanding parents, and rising prices. What do you do? Quit and focus on an unfulfilling job. Do you give in and like Torea release an album explaining why you had to give in. do all these people like when we post status updates calling ourselves Real heads really purchase our albums.

Must we really sound stupid to sell? are people dumb? could the record executives be right that people are dumb, stupid and lazy they dont want to think? if they not everything the labels say they are, why is there no intelligent music on the main stream?

Personally i refuse to give in. i am a writer before i am a rapper. i beleive in the greater cause. i will keep on speaking even though my voice drowns in the mainstream noise. i will not do what i do not like because i need cash.

Deutoronomy 23 vs 23

23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.


Shalom Family beleive in your abilities you maybe the one you are waiting for. stop looking next door and making excuses. It is not about the hype remember that.
