RANDOM THOUGHTS pt.1

I know as your staring at the title you are probably wondering why i chose the last hope...well thats what i consider myself and my kind of music.You see things are much different now with music then they were when i was a kid. You actually needed talent and skill to succeed.Nowadays all that is really required is a beat by a famous producer,a catchy hook .....and "bam" you become nearly an overnight success. Only prob with that is....what happens to people like me with unbeleiveable potential. People who struggle everyday to get what they need to survive that surpass some of these new artists by a very large margin. We are overlooked.Take NAS for example.Illmatic is one of the greatest hip hop albums to ever drop....an eventhough he is still considered one of the best. He is being out sold by soldier boy.No offense to SB for doing his thing,but come on now.I am a firm believer of "times change" ...i really am. But you barely hear a Nas record being played on the radio.What happened to respect to the forefathers who paved the way for people like soldier boy. Also the likes of jadakiss, styles p, raekwon, beenie siegel, etc. These are the guys that get respect in everyhood they are listened to in,but they lack good promotion....Not to mention the retarded bootleggers who would put ya whole album out months before it come out. Therefore raping the artist and his promotion. How come you dont hear nobody bootlegging soldier boy album....and itts not like im picking on him ,i just feel he is the perfect example...I really feel like i am the last hope! Why? Because i can take you through a time machine. I am the old mixed with the new. I am real and i will never sell my soul for silver and gold. I am very much humble....Life has taught me many lessons to make sure of that...Most importantly i know what it feels like to have money and to be broke...I have a family that relies on me succeeding and i wont let them down....Most people would simply say im hungry. I would just say im fed up. When you put that combination together what you come up with is someone that is "R.eady A.nd W.illin'"to do whatever is necessary to bring hip hop back to life and make sure my family sleeps good at nite.....God Bless!
