SOHH Gyant Randomnes: The Mind Of A Lunatic Speaks!
Posted on April 30, 2008 2:15 PM
Since there isnt much going on today I thought I would post this funny email I got today. As many of you know I put my email at the bottom of every post unlike most bloggers. I do that because I really want you all to reach out if there is a problem with the blog, if you got some information that just popped of, or if you got some good music you trying to get out there. But if I can be honest with you all [and you know I always am] my inbox is usually always filled with boring party promotions, some African trying to tell me that I've won a million dollars and all they need is my checking account information to transfer funds, and mind numbing music from alot of downright whack internet rappers. So when I got this email from The Mic Fiend I knew I had to share it. Check it out below.
I just went through about 100 emails, and listened to about 60 CD's I attend a lot of conferences throughout the year so I get a lot of material, and a lot of email. You know what else I get a lot of? Dumb ass statements like this…." Yo I'm -----This my hit single I'm gonna change the game, or "Yo I'm the truth I'm what the game is missing! " I'm hot in the streets", I sold x amount of units already.Man! Shut the F*ck up already, if you really was hot in the streets, or was selling units you wouldn't have to introduce yourself. I and every other person would already know who you are. Artists act like we in the club, and that's they pick up line. Like we automatically suppose to believe you first off, and second off just, because the kids in ya crew, and ya girls crew got you all on their top 8 on MySpace does not justify you being hot. Lines like the ones above will get you deleted real fast from my email.
If you have to tell me your hot, you probably not. I support the up & coming artist so I'm always going to listen to your stuff, but if 20 people come to me at a conference and say "I'm the next one", then; I can see you all fit the same mold, and you not really grinding to get your buzz up, you begging for a buzz. If you want to promote yourself, and let people know you are hot; Put together a press kit, do a press release for the single, take an ad out with a magazine..Invest in your product instead of shoving me a mixtape with Sucka MC written on it with a sharpie. If you can't spend money on yourself; why the hell would anybody else? Stop stepping to djs like you already on. Humble yourself, network, and build a relationship. Find out who works at what magazines, and websites, do e-blasts. I know what you thinking "I don't have that type of bread" No Duh if you did you would be on already making corny ass music with Young berg, and Ray J. That's a different story. Where was I?
Oh Money, I know everybody want money for something. No one sees the big picture. Well my man Donny Goines is doing big things with no money, I see upcoming cats building a buzz everyday just networking and putting in a little work. If you stop frontin trying to get in the Source, and XXL, and support these upcoming magazines you might get your buzz up. Jump on these other hot websites like www.Wordofsouth.com, or www.yoraps.com That's SUPPORT once again. Then you can finally stop feeding people the lies of how hot you think you are.
They'll already see it.
Well gotta get back to playing Frisbee with your cds…
Untill next time………………………………………………………………………..!

Real talk I agree with homie 100%. Alot of you "rappers who are trying to get put on" are down right lazy. If I had a dollar for every time someone hits me up trying to get a feature on SOHH Atlanta I could quit this game and move out to LA and chill for the rest of my life. I'm at parties and people try to act like we all buddy-buddy, and in the same breath they are asking me for my math or email so they can fill up my inbox with their material.
Hey, I'm not hating do what you do. But know that most people who are actually in the game are not SOHH quick to help you out unless your sh*t is SOHH tight that we just wanna tell the whole world about you. Now I've done some features on people I truly beleive in. Proton, Fundisha, The Thunderkatz, etc are all people who I truly beleive the world needs to know about. But trust and beleive that nobody I've ever invested in got on SOHH easily.
SOHH for all the "aspiring" talent out there get your sh*t right before you start passing out mixtapes, and flooding email accounts with ya non sense. Because as far as Gyant is concerned it only goes in the trash.....if its lame that it.
Talk to y'all lata,

I'm convinced - it must be a slow day...
That was kinda harsh. You really do need a Vacation .
u dont care what makes u think we do?
Look, in all fairness to artists..any kind of face time they can get is gold. You obviously had a dream and did what you did to achieve it so take a less demoralizing approach to the situation. Now in all fairness, you aren't even a good blogger but we support you because we can see where you are going, and you can't do that for somoene else? Come on..isn't that why sandra aired you out?
"Stop stepping to djs like you already on. Humble yourself, network, and build a relationship."
Thank you!!!!!
u should still give them a listen. a hundred muthafukkas might try 2 get at u with some material sayin they the next big thang but one of them might be. not everyone is out grinding like that cuz they got other issues and thangs to deal with at the present, hard to do shows every day when u gotta put food on the table.
DAT BOY AIM IS THE HOTTEST UNSIGNED ARTISTS I'VE EVA HEARD. SOMEBODY BETTA SIGN HIM QUICK!
LOL at dudes mad because they been using them same lines and now they see why they didn't get a call back. Good post Gyant. Frisbee... funny stuff
maybe this will stop all the wack ass myspace link posts like they can't just put it in the "URL" box and let a person decide if they wanna click it or not.....
and yeah da homie Donny Goines is one networkin muthafucka and he don't even force his shit upon the masses...... the unsigned grind continues!!!!!
