| These days to make a big successful hit you need to put a lot of money into the product (promotion, mastering, video...). It seems like there is a division between the underground and commercial rap. How do you manage to put out quality products? | |
| A MARKET HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF MY SHIT, HOW? I GOT TALENT AND I PUT IN WORK, THE INDUSTRY IS GAY, YES THATS WHY I AM WORKING ON MY OWN FANBASE, SO IN THE END IF IM SMALL BUT HAVE MANY FANS AND IM PAID I WILL BE HAPPY I DONT HAVE TO BE HUGE AS LONG AS IM PAID BUT YA KNOW IM GONNA BE HUGE BECAUSE THEIR IS NOBODY LIKE ME | |
