Didn't see that.

Don't be jealous, you big-bobble headed faggot. So a girl can rap better than you. It's not time to play R.E.M. singles.

that doesn't equal arrived.

mike and i are pretty much in the same place at the moment (i'm sure you'll laugh at that notion), but i think his work ethic is going to take him pretty far soon.

I don't know where your career is at in relation to OME's. As with most posts, I'm going on pure assumption and hyperbole. You set the record straight, though.

Are you still getting traction (nh) from Girls Like Me?

Aren't you the dude with the cranium that looks like a globe in that iCon/Vanderslice video that is all Jigga'd out with the island and the naked, painted chicks?

:icedit: - I realized I verbally assaulted the wrong person. I'm confusing your screen name with AWAR.

checks are still coming in, it's still doing alright on itunes, and at least one person a day buys it on bandcamp. nothing to quit my day job over though.

records like mike's and mine are slow rollers, someone puts someone else onto them everyday long after the press stops rolling in. so there's still a little traction. but i should have a new EP out by the beginning of next year and another LP by the middle of next year, and another project with verbs sometime next year too i hope.

The Self project with Blockhead will definitely help him make new fans.

The Keen/Nicki Minaj collabo will probably land her on a major too.

I ran into Hired Gun while I was in New York. We had the obligatory Phila conversation. He's a cool rap dude.

^^^ thanks.

also major props to PF's own vinylpops, without whom i would've probably not gotten a single blog post/review/interview or anything. dude is really sharp when it comes to this blog shit and single handedly taught me to become a self-sufficient internet marketer. he's the sole reason that any of the big rap blogs have my back and will post stuff that i send.

Vinyl Pops is like NahRight for the indie rappers. I just wish he didn't Too $hort so much because he retired a few times and has had about 12 different blog names in a matter of a few years. IMO that hurt the brand but I have a feeling he doesn't give a shit about the brand. Still he has one of the few blogs I continue to check even though he posts most of that shit in his "Uploading" thread. From RH to Whiskey Teeth dude is good at blogging.

A few questions.

1. Will the project with VerBS be another EP or a full length album?
2. Will it include the same (type of) producers? Specifically Alpha, Dibiase and EQ?
3. If you don't mind my asking, how much did it cost to press up GLM on cd?
4. How many cds of GLM did you press up?

Between Mike Eagle, Keen, and Int at this point. Stik Figa will surprise some more of you. I know in 2011 or hopefully in the last part of 2010, he'll have some more to hit fools with.

I won't throw myself in that category until I have things completely lined up the way they need to be. Once they are, I will do the arrogant typical rapper shit and yell "we da best!!!"

:thebest:

But I will say that I finally aligned myself with some more folks on the indie level that I'm proud I got to meet and build with. And 2011, I'll be able to drop more shit than what I have before.......

And I will executive produce Piff's shit if he lets me. I know I need to supply the bongs and vaporizers to keep his focus. LOL.

4. How many cds of GLM did you press up? only 1,000, and it has done MUCH better digitally than physically, to the point i'm not sure if physical cds are worth it anymore on my level

Hahaha no, the link I put up there is of sum rich burb wig who's apparently a self-proclaimed protege of Chuck D. Word has it that this brat got introduced once to Chuck through the wigs daddy who happens to be someone important in the music biz.

Thanks for answering!

As far as the other producers for the project with VerBS, I think you would sound dope over bangers by Mike Gao, Kuest 1, and Maestroe among others. Hope ya'll keep them in mind when pickin' beats.


Also, I hope you don't phase out the physical copies for your future work, I know it isn't the most profitable but there are still heads out there who cop cds.

this project you speak of is news to me that and a lil wishful thinking
perhaps

the keen and self song with adlibs from ricky ross and tip on the hook is kindqa crazy

keep it lokey though

in all seriousness though

im kinda flattered to be on that list
with mike, tui and ike, keen and the rest of the bunch

mike is kinda on or on well on his way is on mush just got off tour, icon has put out projects toured
keen has put out a full length works pretty hard... and is also an awesome rapper friend
