UK dont care bout makin money, we do it for the love, theres a handfull of heads in UK that can manage to make a livin off music alone, the majority work a 9 to 5 n rap at night.

you people beleive sales = skill, when thats far from truth, that just means theres a good marketing scheme behind the artist.

and the majority of UK heads wouldnt be fucked about gettin plays in america.

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 10:30 AM

exact same for me

i rezpekt UK rappers...its just the certain ones givin them bad names


*UHUM* Leady *Uhum*

E.C 10-10-05 10:30 AM

lol... the underground scene in the u.k is much more humble... theres alot of fans.. loadsa shit with shows... albums mixtapes and merchandice so people stay underground coz they don't wanna get fucked about the business which most rappers do

theres a good reason why i make my music suitable for underground and commercial..

see I switch my styles between them 2 and other shit

and Yall Stick to the Underground

so what you sayin yall switch styles

might wanna check yaself


the majority of UK heads wont even look at a deal from a majour label.

none of us like to loose our creative freedome, we only sell music, if its what we ourselves want to make, not sum wack arse club shit jus to make a few ppl happy.

nobody in the UK trusts majour labels(and they are right for not trusting them) thats why so many US rappers blow and then suddenly flop, the labels use them, build them up n drop them harder than a bad habit. real respect means more to any of us than money earned respect does.

that's why U.S. rap blows big baboon balls right now...everyone's in shit for the money...people have a style when they're underground then get signed and go do the same shit every other rapper is doing...it's WACK as shit man...

if people over here would stop buying into the bullshit and buy REAL artists albums instead of just DLing off the 'net things just MIGHT ahve a turn around and we could get people like the G-Unit faggoids off the damn radio...but like I've ALWAYS said, the little suburban white bois are the ones buying rap albums, and their fascination with the "thug life" they think all of us black rappers live in, clouds their vision into anything else BUT that being "real"

but like always, nobody ever hears me when I say this *smh*

P.S. I wish more U.S. rappers thought like what Leady just said above me

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 10:37 AM

its not US Rap L.V......its Commercial rap theres a difference

look at

Papoose, Jae Millz, Saigon, Corey Gunz,

these katz are popular...they have street respect..they makin money...and they stay on that underground shit

me and you have allways agreed with this, but like i say.

none of these kids do it for the love of the art form, they just do it cos it makes them look cool n to try make money. shits pathetic.

E.C 10-10-05 10:38 AM

everyone changes when they go mainstream is because there record company tells em to.. if they didnt then they would get thrown off it... so most rappers want the money so they start makin club tracks...

on the other hand.. eminem is a prime example for this... he got signed and didn't give a fuck... did songs anout shit that mattered and he blew up.. then he went to court and shit..

other rappers don't want that so they bend over and let the industry fuck em

Tha Q. 10-10-05 10:39 AM

^^^^last time I checked, nothing was wrong with making money

makin money is not a bad thing.. but doin summin for the sole purpose to make money is a bad thing, espeially summin like hip hop.

yes we all like money, but none of us make music to get rich, we make music because its wat we love doing, thats all it boils down to for us.

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 10:41 AM

OH MY FUCKIN GOD HE SAIS PAPOOSE IS WACK..HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTT ahahaha...that proves you know nothing about hiphop

hes one of the most original kat in the game

which kat can do

ALphabetical Slaughter
rap using the 5 senses
Rap using strictly hiphop names


fuck ur stupid

L. Veracity 10-10-05 10:41 AM

like I said Kon, people in the UNITED STATES (not underground) blow big baboon balls...personaly I've never heard ANY of the people yo just talked about...everyone said how 50 was so iLL when he came out, and look at him now...he's another club song happy industry bitch...got the same content every other rapper has, nothing new is being said over here...

if more people cared about the music instead of the money people that are underround who are actually saying shit would be getting heard...I live in Houston, radio down here doesn't play anything but this Southern crap or eXtremely commercial shit, they don't even play Juelz Santana or anybody from Roc-A-Fella besides Jay-Z here...cuz they're all white washed like the regular mainstream...

people don't wanna hear reality, they just want a beat they can shake their ass to that has bass...rap in the U.S. is pointless, people need to stop rapping and just have producers release albums of instrumentals cuz nobody saying anything gets paid attention to any damn way

your missing the point.. when they are underground.. they chat fings like fuck being singed imma stay underground fuck the money i do it for the lve...

soon as that contract is drawn up he signs it and sells himself out...

leady 10-10-05 10:42 AM

alphabetical slaughter has been done before, and h didnt make sense, he just used random words. wow, using the 5 senses is oh so original... and usin nuttin but hip hop names has been a million times.

and the majority of his multies are forced.

sure

thats a cop out

if they could remain true to themselves, but have the popularity of NELLY, why wouldn't they?

That doesn't make sense...You make songs for people to hear...I wud think you'd want the most people possible to hear it

that "Imma stay on the low" shit is a cop out to me...niggas jus ain't figured out how to BlOW UP yet.


Like Any kid on this site screaming "IM UNDERGREOUND"

If Jay Z or 50 Cent walked up to ur face and handed u a check for 500,000 and said "Come make a album so u can blow up" u can not TELL ME EVERYONE ON THIS DAMN SITE wouldn't JUMP at that opportunity

if they say otherwise, they are lying.PERIOD.

point blank

E.C 10-10-05 10:47 AM

i would only do it if i could make music that i liked.. none of this club shit about poppin gats n killin bitches.. im telling you straight i would walk straight out if he said we'll do an album about the streets n clubs

L. Veracity 10-10-05 10:47 AM

U.S. rap and UK rap are completely different, you wanna know why US heads don't like UK rap and why niggas think people here are soooooo iLL?...

cuz US people (for the MOST part) like all that punchline rap...say a nyce punchline and you're sick, it's not about anything but who has the best punchlines here

UK rap is about this little thing I like to call lyricism...they tell stories, speak about politics and etc. it's not about all that "flash" so U.S. people don't tend to like or appreciate it

if you haven't realiZed that then you have no concept of what U.S. OR UK rap really is, I don't know that mny UK rappers and I can tell you that's the major difference...

people over here think because we created rap that we're the best at it, eghhh WRONG!!...white people created basketball, football, prolly every other pro-sport there is and on average black athletes get paid more than white athletes in about everything but baseball...

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 10:48 AM

50 was never fuckin ILl

simple

leady 10-10-05 10:49 AM

if they came up n gave me the contract and it stated i keep makin the music im makin now, keep my personal style then yes i would.

but if i had to change up my style start with the commercial shit, no i wouldnt.

you want to know why S.A.S got signed to roc-a-fella originally??

they asked one of the UK's best, klashnekoff to sign, and he declined because they asked him to change his sound.. his vibe has a massive ragga influence in his whole vibe as his roots are jamaican.... and after that S.A.S got approached.

so no, people will turn them down, and people do turn them down.

but nice try on tryna be smart Q.

L. Veracity 10-10-05 10:49 AM

Q, to me it's not even about selling out, if you wanna be popular then do that, but don't start out saying "i love rap, i love rap" and talk about real shit then get signed and change your entire style...start off doing club tracks and see how far you get...labels want you to be uniQue and shit in order to sign you, but then when you get signed you're just another run-of-the-mill rapper any damn way...

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 10:49 AM

leady do you think your better then Papoose?

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 10:51 AM

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 11:00 AM

answer my question

and i told you already. jea im down what eva

Leady, do you think your better then papoose?

leady 10-10-05 11:01 AM

like i said, what kind of question is that??? that question is irellivent to anything being said, and i never once said anything that even implies that.

on the real son you are fucking retarded.

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 11:02 AM

your calling him wack.

so are you better then him

obviously the answer is no

so you have no right to say anything

leady 10-10-05 11:05 AM

yes i do have a right.

its my opinion.. everybody has them, so dont even try and pull that, everybody has a right to there opinion, its called freedome of speach.

i swear you must be 12 or summin if you that fuckin retarded

L. Veracity 10-10-05 11:11 AM

just cuz someone sucks(in your opinion) doesn't have to mean that you're better than them...but that's just MY opinion

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 11:12 AM

yes but that doesnt make no sense

You say Papoose Is Wack
Then You say your Good

Now Ask Yourself:

Whos Retarded

And If You Say Me

Then you really are

leady 10-10-05 11:13 AM

OMFG you retarded sack of shit.

in my opinion papoose is wack, hes un-creative, his multies are mostly forced, his structure is very simple and he quite often doesnt make sense.

end of.. stfu and hop off the mans nuts

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 11:15 AM

nigga fuck you, you came up in here startin' shit

but basically you a hater. and a very confused man.

leady 10-10-05 11:21 AM

yeah.

im a hater for my personal opinion and not being afraid to voice.

well done skippy

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 11:27 AM

your a hater because, your hating on him because of what he does. obviously he's good at what he does or he wouldnt be so popular.

L. Veracity 10-10-05 11:33 AM

popularity does NOT eQuate to actually having skills...case and point, mainstream rap in the U.S. today :)

P.S. having a difference of opinion is not "hating"

E.C 10-10-05 11:34 AM

listen to l.v she is a smart cookie.. you might learn suttin

K.ontroverz.Y 10-10-05 11:35 AM

but dont you get popular for a reason?

~Lady Fiya~ 10-10-05 11:38 AM

Why is everybody mentioning how long they been rapping?

*Joins the club*

almost a year for me, but if y'all speaking consistently maybe 5 months...


But anyways, let the fighting cease niggas.

L. Veracity and Leady y'all coo peeps, but y'all gonna have to lay off my fam, Kon Tay Juz...

E.C 10-10-05 11:39 AM

they get popular becuz of the image they create take 50 for example he got shot 9 times he was a drug dealer now he makes music who aint gonna buy his cd?

leady 10-10-05 11:40 AM

ya boy brought it on himself.. i never had a problem with him untill now.

and not it isnt hating kon... its my opinion, jhe could be un-known as fuck, hed still be wack in my opinion.

i dont like his music.
