RESOLUTIONS (part one)

I have been posting a lot of entries in the last 24-48 hours. Right now, before 12AM hits the clock, I am going to post my thoughts on a couple of situations that have been either upsetting me or make me wonder about what the future holds.

First, starting with what made me upset...I mean PISSED BEYOND RECOGNITION!!!

I said that I would try to never make posts based on the existence of one Soulja Boy Tell 'Em...however, I must...because of the idea, that he always says some shit, that makes you think, "who does this nigga think he is?"

Let me just start off by saying what I had previously belted out of anger..."WHO DOES THIS NIGGA THINK HE IS". I'm not gonna say anything that others haven't said already, ya know "Jay started the "best rapper alive" saying" or "Andre, Q-Tip, Kool Keith said it way before hand, Nas just ran with it" or with the idea that perhaps Nas uses these controversial themes as perhaps gimmicks, BUT, I will say this, is that I could respect SB's opinion more....if the shit made sense...after all, his example of "old school" is Get Rich or Die Tryin'. SMH. Just sitting around with your "yes men" eating dinner, talking shit about an artist you only wish you could reach the status of, ain't getting you nowhere in getting respect as a legimitate artist. Nas killed his career? Let's recap...

NAS- "UNTITLED" (nigger)

Hit #1 its first week, selling over 150,000 copies
Stayed in the top ten for three weeks
critically acclaimed by music publications (XXL, The Source, Rolling Stone)
certified Gold by the RIAA

SOULJA BOY TELL 'EM- iSOULJABOYTELLEM

Sold 45,000 copies its first week at #41
Bad reviews in almost EVERY music publication

At the end of it all, one thing is for sure....

Nas= living legend

Soulja Boy= dead gimmick.

The bottom line is everything that I have said all along, you ain't gotta like artists like Nas (who actually saluted you) or Ice-T (although he instigated it) but pay respect for the motherfuckers that allowed you to put your crappy music out to the public and make money. But judging by your sales, I don't know how long that is going to last.
