But it becomes disrespectful when the artist's process is not respected.
From Talib Kweli
But you have to be creative on how you sell yourself and market yourself.
Even an independent label is looking for a hit, they're not looking for a record that's not gonna do well.
Hi-Tek is on three or four songs on the new record.
Hip-hop is a vehicle.
Hip-hop isn't as complex as a woman is.
I don't feel comfortable making empty music.
I met Mos Def around that time but I didn't hook up with him until I was about 17 or 18.
I not only wanted to showcase lyrical skills but also continue to drop knowledge on the hiphop community. I'm looking to elevate through my music, and through my music I educate.
I started rapping because I wanted people to hear what I have to say, I want as many people to hear me as possible, and I do everything in my power to make that pop.
