I thought that some people would have got my point with the chinese reference! But I get back the comments of a few people that must have went over that OR maybe my comment was over THEY head! So here I go again! First off I may have saw ?uest in concert at the 9:30 club but I NEVER met him face to face(thus the refferel to Busta). I just related to Kil(a he not a she by the way) because I politic with dudes and females alot about this very topic! Once it becomes public you got to DEAL with the public! Not like but DEAL! I feel that when I go from being the cat from D.C. to multiplatinum or just plain ol HEARD on the radio, it'll NEVER be the same! I got to manage to stay here or when I go to work a job "aint you that dude who used to be.." will be dropping out of plenty mouths! Follow me so far? While I make my mark on the industry I need to keep the interest of the fans that the Lord blessed me with! I will HAVE to sign autographs, kiss babies, smile in photos you know the tiring shit! Because when they decide to boycott, oh shit! But as long as they happy, I have room to grow on my label, and maybe a chance to get my own because my clientel speak when my shit hits the stores! Now for ?uest! NO I don't feel you owe me a Goddam thing! If you buying a meal and I don't got the ends in the restaurant for my bill I'm not gonna look over and notice you and say "Hey" I brought his album with my laundry money "HE OWES ME"! Bullshit! BUT I do feel there's a certain level of professionalism that must be maintained within the artist/fan relationship! If I want to get on-there are ways that I SHOULD and SHOULD NOT approach you or anyone! If I want to politic-SAME THING! So let me ask this ?uest. Do you think this comment you reading right now will be spoken to you with a bottle of Champagne in the hand of the person speaking with spit flying every two seconds!?? No! I don't do that, I know how to approach people! Professional! I'll give two examples! I approached Com when Ressurection came out and he told me call him Rashid and we proceeded to talk about the album and people he might want to work with in the future etc. I even gave him me rendition of what I thought H.E.R stood for(How. Everybody. Rapped) he laughed and said "that's what it means now" with a beer in HIS hand. That was the realest experience I had with someone I thought I would NEVER get to speak with! Then there was Flipmodes frontman at the EPMD concert! EPMD were the coolest things in there speaking with everyone! Then I turn around to Busta who before I got the word Hay out my grill PUSHED pass me, I almost fell if my fall wasn't broken by a kind bouncer who didn't think I was disrespecting him! Fans we aint the scum of the earth but we are EVERYWHERE! We the ones who don't got the deal, the ones who DO have the deals, and the ones scheeming on your shit! But we are HUMAN too! Do we ALL have to be treated in a harsh manner just because a person gave you a BAD experience? And to the dude who asked why am I here?......This is a good website, the best I've seen so far! I battle here, chat here, and DEBATE! I am OKAY!<P><BR>Lunch<BR><img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"> <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/sad.gif"> <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/wink.gif">
