The REAL Reason St. Louis Never Popped Like Atlanta or Houston Despite Industry Innovators, Platinum Artists & Producers: Mofos Don’t Recognize Or Support Real Shit.
Lemme clarify, these OLD mofos that are in the same place today than when I left the scene to fight on the frontlines of Ferguson. These young cats may not have figured everything out yet, but at least they ain’t falling for the shit most of the cats before them fell for. They ain’t crying about people not putting them on, they’re building their own way. They ain’t chasing shady promoters and djs selling pipedreams and most important they don’t expect other people to fund their dreams, they invest in themselves and not just looking the part.
They’re doing all the things those that came before them shunned, they had to because those that came before them didn’t leave shit which is exactly what I predicted when I left the scene to those that swore they could do better. And today that crop of artists don’t have shit to show for years, some for some decades of grinding. Even after cockblocking when they got an opportunity. Even after trying to buy their way in. Even after selling out Mike Brown, the movement and the city.
It’s the new generation of artists that are holding it down. The Sminos, SZAs, Big Boss Yvettes and Sexyy Reds. Nobody and hear me when I say this NOBODY hits me up about the self anointed. Nobody hit’s me up about these lil clicks that swear they’re hip hop. Ain’t nobody checking for them now, same way nobody was checking for them back then. It was all smoke and mirrors, cockblocking, sabotage, paid clicks, friends, fans, followers streams and downloads.
Google them, no interviews or features, the real litmus except those manufactured by those pushing agendas.
