Part of growing up is realizing that not as many people love you as you originally thought. They might show you conditional love when it's beneficial but that's not real love. That's why self love is so necessary. They can call it narcissistic if they want but I'll never let myself down.
No Handout for the 2015No Excuses for the 2015No Mediocrity for the 2015
I haven't seen some of my oldest friends since last year... Don't feel offended if you don't see me as much. I swear any free time is spent with yall. But I'm working my ass off right now. Getting on FireFly is cool but the amount of expectations now increases. Everything has to be better. To get better you have to focus and think. It's hard to focus and think with drunk dudes and beautiful women around. Great for inspiration but terrible for brainstorming. I love (some) of yall
I can't stress it enough when I talk about Cypher Clique. We've never had a manager or booking agent. Everything we've ever accomplished was done by no one but us. S/o to the plugs but all the plugs went through us directly. There's no asshole getting 15% from us. It was all us. No matter if we were 17 or 23 we handled all of our music business internally.
My tape did over 2k in less than a week. So why is your tape under 100 downloads after a whole year?

I'm aware of the crabs in the bucket as well... I'm aware of the shade coming from people that live on a street called mediocrity. I just can't acknowledge it. There's too much going on elsewhere. There's not enough time to spare. We gotta get these tracks out. Slowing down to explain a process that's been running since 2007 would be a waste of time.
I've been touring the east coast with Cypher Clique for a half a decade. I performed in my first show before I had my first drink. We used to get dropped off at the studio because we were too young to drive. You new niggas start rapping because you got cut from the basketball team.
Time Is Your Biggest Enemy
Music is similar to sports in a few ways. In both music and sports there are people that are born with the gift and people that learn the skill. I'd say only 5% of people are born with the gift. The other 95% have to study the craft to get better. There's no way you discover your gift after the age of 18. That means it's more than likely a skill. If that's the case you started trying to enhance your skills dumb late in the game. If that's the case you should probably start focusing harder than the artists that started ten years ago to keep up. |

I hope everyone around me strives for excellence. There's no reason to be satisfied with anything else. If you're around me or in my camp this year you better keep up. Everyone has to kill shit. I'll have no problem cutting wack shit off this year. Work hard or talk shit.
