Feel better?
Yea, I guess I need to vent now and then
As far as Bust, Lil' Kim and so forth, Vets?
Hardly....
Crap?
Yes...that describes them....
Isn't Kim in Jail?
How about Busta?
Didn't his chauffer get gunned down right in front of ol' Busta and he claims he saw nothing?
How about Puffy, who actually has talent...
Guns all over his ride?
Yes he pleads ignorance....
Come on, we ain't talking about the Beatles getting busted for some weed.....
These people are garbage.
They have no talent, but they are able to suck in the young ghetto kids.....
It's no different than kids playing hoops in the park all trying to be the next Jordan.
Great to have dreams, but reality is more important when it comes to putting foof on the table.
Piano lessons?
Never had one.
I hear it...I can play it...NOTE FOR NOTE....with the exception of heavy classical....
I've had the pleasure of working with the best and when I see/hear shit like I hear on MTV and VH1 it makes me sad.....
Video did kill the radio, that's true and I really have nothing against video at all.
Some are very creative.
However most are shit...
Even people like Jon Mayer, Alcia Keys, Nora Jones who actually do have talent get boring after a set or two.
I like jazz, but 5 minutes of Norah and I want out......
Maybe I'm cynical, maybe like you say I need to talk to your dad
but I just see the entire industry as a sewer trap waiting for someone to flush.
Like I said, the Grammy's and Oscars were a total flop viewer wise.
Doesn't that say something?
