Maybe I’m selfish.
28 Dec
This has been irking me for awhile. No clue as to why..
Do you ever get.. um.. selfish? I guess that’s the word.. Selfish with.. your favorite artists? I get that way.. often.
I’ve been a Lupe fan since sophomore/junior year of high school. My boy Chris first put me onto him + his Happy Industries track back then and I’ve been in love ever since. I tried to put people onto him back then and no one wanted to listen. Then soon enough he dropped Kick, Push + every one of my friends labeled him as the “skateboard guy” and kept it moving. Now all of a sudden everybody wants to hop on his scrotum. I don’t have a (big) problem with it, but it’s like I get that strange feeling like… “He was my favorite rapper first. Wtf do you REALLY know about Lupe (besides Superstar..)?”
So I felt that strange feeling again last night. My boy asked if I ever heard Wale’s track Nike Boots… You serious? Wale is definitely one of my favorite rappers + anyone who really knows me (or reads my blog enough) knows that for a fact. So he went on about how a mutual friend of ours wanted a ringtone made from that song and how the song is hot. He just heard it.. etc etc. I just looked at him, agreed, and then added that the song is extremely.. old. I know the video just dropped recently and he’s finally getting the shine he deserves, but I still feel this urge of selfishness. Like.. leave him alone. He’s mine lol. I own every mixtape. I listen to him on repeat for hours. Do you? Watch.. Drake is gonna be next =/

I know exactly what you mean, especially with the Wale “incident”
I just remind myself that not everyone is as exclusive as I am so they hear stuff waaaaay late! LOL
I’m selfish alot
April you are a mess! I LOVE it! Nah son, I know how that goes…you gotta let cats know that you were up on it first…everybody loves the artist when they’re hot, but when they were underground nobodies…they turned the other way
That’s how I feel about Hov…nobody was up on Hov back when he rapped like the Fu Schnikens…(I can’t Get With That, Hawaiian Sophie, The Originators) or even when he first referred to himself as Jigga (remember his verse on Mase’s Cheat On You?)
April don’t worry…we’re just Innovators! ANd thanks for puttin me up on Drake! lol
Youre a taurus…so its only natural..lol
Dom – I like your mindset lol
Taylor – You seem like you could be lol
DaShun – Alright.. Ranting much? Haha. I feel you, though.
Glenn – You would know!!
I know!
