Will's new album.


Recommended Posts

Xzibit couldn't make 20 million a film like Will could but he has a point there, the movie industry is making more money than the music industry is these days.

:dunno: I don't think this is anything new.

I totally agree with what Freddie Foxx said tho.' U have millions of starving actors with skillz just trying 2 get that big break. But people casting these movie will cast some trendy rapper in the spot who has very few, if any skillz in acting (much less music!). FP, LL, Latifah, 2Pac, Ice Cube, and so on actually work on their craft and take acting seriously. They deserve the success they get...but when u see Ludacris in a movie...is he really doing it 4 the art or is he doing it 4 the money and Hollywood fame.

If u are doing something strictly 4 the money, it shows cuz your art will suck. FP dosen't do it 4 the money and he always puts out good stuff. Most of the rappers in the top 10 do it just 4 the money, which shows cuz their music isn't any good.

We have 2 remember that in the world of commercial rap, there are 2 kinds of props. Shout outs and positive words (which are rare these days). And hating...which is clearly an immature act of showing love simply cuz they admire the skillz or material possesions of others. So instead of saying something nice, they insult them...but it's easy 2 read in2.

When mcs go into acting just to make money they deserve to be called sell-outs, it's better to have props as well as money 'cause it's also about inspiring people when you put 100% in and get success, but like you said AJ there's more hating out there than anything, that shows though that Will's the best 'cause if he was wack people wouldn't even pay attention to him. :ditto: A lot of these commercial rappers don't even put 100% in their music how could they put 100% into something they never did before? :nhawong: There are a lot of inspiring mcs and actors who work hard to try to get in the buisiness but can't 'cause these commercial rappers are taking spots that they shouldn't, I personnally question how a lot of these cats even got record deals with no talent!
