you play the demo yet? dl'd it already but havnt gotten to it.
Nah ive been trying to get time just to play more Pikmin 3 ive been busy working OT and getting shit ready for me and Tonya to move into the apartment.
I've been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you
What sweat and blood? Quit being overdramatic. You make music as a hobby. You take it so seriously, but where was all that promotion on The Pilot? Whatever happened to the physical copies? Why weren't you out handing them to people after hip hop shows? Very few people turn down a free mixtape. Thats a few hundred people who could've had your music in their hands. But nah, lets just post it online, leave it at that, and then wonder why people slept on it. Where are the basement shows or house party performances or small venue shows to get people hyped about your shit? On top of that, your facebook page has 87 likes. Where's all the work trying to promote the page and interacting with people. You started that vlog on youtube about the making of Lone Star, and never posted anything about it again.
You say you are giving this 110% but I see a lot of areas of your "career" where you are either lazy or you haven't even explored it at all. Music is more than pressing "record" and performing. Your flow has improved a lot man and I enjoy some of your stuff but you're clearly not as invested in this as you think you are.
And I think its kind of shitty that you have the balls to say you work harder than anyone else on this board when people like MC and Brian do the exact same thing you do (make music) but they are a lot more involved with it than you are. On top of going to school or working. Not to mention the countless people who work their asses off working full time and raising children. Meanwhile you live at home, your parents pay for everything, you have no physical commitments. Hell you dont even have to leave your room to go to school. So who are you to judge if what you are working on in life is any more difficult than someone else's, when you have no idea what most of it actually feels like?
You don't think I try to get shows? You don't think I spend countless hours emailing blogs only to not get a response? I admit that the promotion side of my craft is weak, but that's also due to being a loner and having no network. You can only do so much yourself, one voice ain't that loud. Either way, I do what I can and I do it as best as I can. Hang yourself.
What about handing out physical copies? The Lone Star vlog? Facebook promotion?
Giving up on something before its finished is the best you can do? The promotion side of your craft is the weakest - the question is what are you doing to change that? You have no network. Why arent you making one? You admit its important, so why arent you working on it? Anyone can play to their strengths, but I find that working hard to improve your weaknesses is a lot harder.
Also, lol at me not having a "clear vision" Bitch I put more work in on a single day than you do all week nephew. 8 hours of work at my JOB, plus 4 hours of classes, plus homework. Thats about 14 hours of solid WORK. Not jacking off at a computer for a few hours or screeching into a microphone.
Let me ask you this. Lets say your mom or dad or cousin says "hey I got tickets to a Bulls-Heat game later on today. Great seats, lets go" What would you do? Would your rapping or weight lifting get in the way of that at all? No. You could easily blow if off and do it the next day. Thats what makes it a hobby. Guess what? If the same happened to me, i couldnt go. If i miss school, I fail an assignment or fall way behind. If i dont go to work, I dont get paid. Thats a water bill or a couple days worth of food i dont get in my fridge. Thats called responsibility faggot. Maybe you'll learn some one day.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off when you're 21 and still sucking on mama's tit working your shitty part time job. I have a clear vision of what I want to happen. And guess what? I'm actually making it happen. Not sitting in my bedroom hoping for a break thats never gonna come.
Ah shooting me down. Classic defense. I'm never gonna make it. I'm a faggot. Wasting my time. =D> Good job Jake.
Also, I went to 6 games last season, hit the gym and worked on music every single time. Woke up extremely early to do so. Suck my dick and hang yourself.
Lol you come at me saying I have no direction and that I have no idea what I wanna do and i go through the motions when you literally dont know anything about me other than I work at a food joint )
And thats exactly my point. You can move around all your hobbies AT YOUR CONVENIENCE. Thats not dedication. Thats not hard work. With actual responsibilities like a job or school you cant just rearrange your schedule when its a problem. You have to suck it up and miss the other thing you wanted to do to take care of your shit.
It's amazing how ungrounded and split from reality a person can be. Even though Erik hasn't really gone anywhere or achieved anything he has an amazing over inflated ego and sense of entitlement and self worth. Even if he became the biggest rapper in the world he is still going to end up as a Behind the Music special waiting to happen.
Dawg why do you care so much? Why does my path in life effect you so much? Like you've said, I'm just a kid on the Internet. We'll never meet, I'm irrelevant, so why do you care? Even if I was a heroin addict on a downward spiral, why. the. fuck. do. you. care? And as such, I don't give a fuck what you or any other lowlife on this forum has to say, so you waste your time.
Like I said, Im'ma kill myself if I fail 'cause I ain't living any other way. So we have 1 of 2 scenarios. In about 8 years or so, you get to have your little "Ha ha I told you so." And read my obituary, or you hear me on the radio at your minimum wage job and bow down sucking my dick, realizing how far my little hobby got me. But ultimately, either way, other than obviously being jealous and envious if it was the latter, would you really fucking care? Would you? No. So why do you now? You like tryna shoot down a kid's dreams, congratulations. But that's how it is right? Maybe if I stayed inside the box and said my goal was to be a doctor or lawyer, then you'd fully support that.

I'm still only about 6 hours into it. I'm always busy working.
Hey Erik, you beat that game yet?
