    What Motivates You

    What motivates me? Anybody who claims to be the "hottest" at what they do. Business is the only thing that can compare to the rush I used to get from athletics. Since I no longer desire to compete athletically I need an outlet for my competitive drive. Do I have role models/people I look...

    This southern b.s has gone to far(laffy taffy)

    Yeah, the business saavy comments wasn't really directed at you, I was speaking in general terms on that regard. I was raised on the Golden Era of hip hop but I embraced what the south and the bay area had to offer as well. I feel that the decline of hip hop didn't start with the rise of...

    This southern b.s has gone to far(laffy taffy)

    ------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- *At least I can respect your opinions on this topic because from your posts on this board I can gather that you are proud to be from "that South" and your music shows influences from producers...

    Your musical outlets

    I take breaks but it's not for renewed inspiration of none of that stuff, it's because another project is taking the majority of my time. I practice the guitar/ a lil' piano, and I'm looking to get into the bass. Guitar wise I'm really trying to strengthen my ear training and get better...

    At least you got a supportive lady on your side. Get a microphone and soundproof your closet and your set bro.

    This southern b.s has gone to far(laffy taffy)

    Again, I just came from the Dirty Awards last night in Atlanta and D4L probably had the best performance of the night, them cats are doin their thing. Anytime you can make platinum artists get up and dance to your song, you miiiight be doin something right. So relax and worry about making a...

    Blowing Up From The Basement

    Sure will, I got precisely one million and two issues to tend to, but I made a promise to myself to never to let the words "I'm too busy" be an excuse to not get things done. I got this USB voice recorder that I can record ideas and stuff into and since I've been doing that I really been...

    Fried turkey

    My mom probably makes the best mac and cheese hands down, and if your mama can't make it from scratch, then you were abused as a child, because you don't know what you're missing. I got a deep fryer at the crib so I stay with a turkey leg in it. We close down the family restaurant and...

    Blowing Up From The Basement

    For me, the challenge is to SUBMIT these things with all the stuff I got going on, but the whole goal is to get people thinking along the lines of treating the music as an actual business, and taking the necessary steps to get in that mode. If you want longer articles, then I'm sure...

    Website designers

    Mr. Fade designed my site also, www.anyresume.com I get 99% of my business thru my website and we process orders worldwide, so I definitely was in need of something professional. I've seen a 40% increase in sales since the site has been re-designed so I most definitely co-sign Fade's...

    I found the slavemasters that owned my ancestors

    I commend anyone who tries to learn more about their lineage. I know that for me personally, I was taught a STRONG sense of family, I knew my family's history, what my name meant, especially in terms of how we related to certain people within the Bible etc. from as early as I could remember...

    Monkey Bars Smif n Wessun Common Kanye Digable Planets GZA/Muggs Planet Asia Dogg Pound All have dropped some sort of music this year, Planet Asia got 3 albums coming soon in 2006, so basically the real hip hop IS still here, but people would rather worry if Bow Wow really is...

    This southern b.s has gone to far(laffy taffy)

    Since when is BET not a reflection of what's going on in the club. All they play IS videos! Am I gonna buy the D4L triton, probably not. But my point was that D4L, whether you love it or hate it, has strong support from the hometown and at least have an album out so they are doing something...

    This southern b.s has gone to far(laffy taffy)

    I'll only say this once and once only: Go to a club in ATL, tell the DJ to play Laffy Taffy and you'll gain a whole new appreciation for the song. Oh, and the keyboard that they made that "wack beat" with, is gonna sell for some G's on Ebay. This thread is officially closed.

    Free Pimp C

    He violated that probation, he was up in the mall and got into an arguement with a group of people and he thought they were going for their pistol, so he pulled his out quicker. In Texas, if a person feels "threatened" by actions such as that, then its as good as assault. Pimp C has been...

    Help!!! Yo, I got the loot..just need to buy the right stuff

    My advice is to TRY THE DEMO VERSION before you buy anything. I h8 to see folks get ripped off, so if you got buddies that make beats learn the in-outs at their crib before you buy shit. Don't go out and buy no MPC or no Triton (yet) until you know what you think you'll be comfortable...

    Chamillionaire

    Chamillionaire is the best overall rapper in the South, from hooks to punchlines ain't nobody messin with that cat. He got away from his punchlines a lil' bit when compared to his earlier work. Cham and Paul Wall do have an album. It's probably one of the best independent releases EVER, It's...

    Restaurants... Food and Shit

    There's a place called Super Pollo in Northern Va off Fairfax Dr. It's a peruvian spot and these people FEED you. 2 Side orders and a broiled quarter chicken for 4.50, you can't be serious!!! The best place I've ever eaten lunch (for its value).
