A lot of americans make raps solely for the bitches... Which is the right way to go about it, cause bitches will buy your album and if bitches like your shit, chances are it will get played more on commercial radio shows, you will sell more copies AND have a lot more playability in clubs and party venues...

Wonder why loads of underground cats with massive amounts of skill simply dont break that market? Because their rapping for other hip hop heads and young males.. This is a big factor thats holding our industrys back from grasping the mainstream international level of rap.

We also have yet to truely break into the television medium in our countrys.. Therefore untill people do come up in our industrys and start doing it correctly and putting forward a positive example.. America will always be a few levels up on us...

But remember---- They've also had their industry around for a lot longer which only means we have to work that much harder in order to rise up on the world market... One day we will achieve this goal. But it takes time, effort and extreme amounts of dedication..

But somebodys gotta do it.
