bc ppl dont respect the art form. if ur not perceived as rich, on the radio and rubbing butts with some mainstream record label ppl look at u like a delusional child when u tell them ur a rapper. Old yt alcoholic losers can play to 5 ppl in a dive bar and get more respect
ive always been trying to convey this idea but never as succintly as this. we let capitalism pervade our perception of arts scenes
we're too prone to calling people "failed rappers," "flops" etc instead of saluting someone brave enough to put their art into the world
Iโm ready to be in a place that makes me feel welcomed to be there. Iโm really ready to be happy and regulated, and feel safe. I canโt wait for this new chapter in my life and Iโm so grateful for all these people Iโve had in my life to help along the way.
