"It's been proven and it's known that I'm second to none. Killed so many rappers with words I got blood on my tounge."- Yung Millz
One thing is to have peers your age that you can try and relate to because they share the same interests as you do. Another thing is to relate to people who know better than most of those peers because they have been mastering that interest for quite sometime now. That is my way of comparing people you are cool with, and people who you look up to.
I started to rap at the age of 12 and I have been going strong ever since. That kid that could have done better but was too busy writing something down non stop? That kid is still me to this day. Any blank paper I saw would provoke my mind. And that's just the way it was.
Growing up I have met numerous people that rap, sing, write, and the occasional idiot that tries to be like Soulja Boy. I'm not hating, I'm only being real. It was an extraordinary environment to grow up in because I am blessed to be surrounded by creative people. That is what differentiates people and that is what makes us unique. No, you are not unique just because you say you are. Talk is cheap! From theater to people who play drums on the train, in between all that lies true innovation.
It's been a pleasure seeing people I know record their thoughts and put them out there so that the rap culture can wake up and recognize true game. All I hear is garbage most of the time. They even got Common rapping garbage like, what has this world come to?
So at this point I want to thank my true brother that has always been that motivation that I needed because at times I felt like giving up but I am still here going hard so I thank you for that. As for the person I never forgot, I can thank you for so many things that you won't ever understand.
This officially marks the countdown for the release of my very first mixtape. It's been too long and I forgive myself but now there is nothing left to do but to keep moving forward. October 22 - still don't know what I am gonna call this.
