ssl: following that line of reason, if sprite offered you 150k to do a 'hip hop' beat, what would you say?

..'naw, sorry, pardner.. that shit aint me... can't do it for ya.'

dont get me wrong.. im not saying 'sell youself short', etc... i def respect and (somewhat) understand you. but you start getting kids, you start racking bills, you understand this shit aint a hobby. you understand real life sets in. and all this is just a process of little steps. do i want to do this bullshit job or no? last 9-5 job i had was summer 2000. cant tell you how much happier i am to be doing what i want to be doing. 9-5? fukk that.

this is a business just as much as selling shoes is. lotta these kids aint got too much cash. kid feels a beat, hes really feelin it. you help him get to that next step, and he helps you out with xyz.
