It Ain't Good if it's Easy

What was the infamous line Jay said on Unreasonable Doubt? "At your wake as I peak in, look in your casket feelin sarcastic, "Look at him, still sleepin" One of my favorite Jay lines that can be related to anything. But let's relate it to life cause this blog is about music and life or the music life. (sounds like a subtitle) When it comes to trying to make it in this game, the best thing you can do is go get
it yourself, however, what if you are presented an easy way out that almost sounds to good to be true? What do you do? Well, some say go ahead and take it, but what if you take it and its not what you thought it was. This is what separates the hustlers/grinders from the bums. Its not about pride here either, but if there is an easy way out, more than likely its not meant for you. For example, you are almost dead desperate to get this mixtape out and generate a strong buzz for it. Now some guys that have been making a little bit of noise in your local rap community hits you and says that you can use their studio. Now of course, this would sound awesome when you're boys because studio equipment isn't cheap, however, these are guys you barely know. Now you in there doing ya thing and the next thing you know they talking about you gotta pay money before you leave and sign a contract. What kinda stuff is that right? Well it happens, how do you think these great artists get on these wack labels? What I suggest as most hustlers do, is try to get it on your own. I know it would be real cool if Joe Budden came up to you asking you to join Slaughter House, but come on man, why not do your own thing. Or Better yet, the Kings of Leon need some additional vocals from you. That's what separates the boys from the MEN!!! If it sounds to good, it probably is. No one in this world got anything great off a hand out. Not even Memphis Bleek cause he had to impress Jay first before he started writing for him. (C'mon man he impressed Jay, that has to count for something right?) Anyway, the point of this post is to tell all you suckas out there to go and get it in. Matter of fact, stop saying that, leave that to the Enforcer DJ's and just go. Quit talking. GET OFF MY SITE BOY AND GO WORK!!!
