Hmmm. No, actually, I was referencing something D said about Sharpa's tracks not "fitting the format" for radio play. I just thought it was a strange juxtaposition. I would love it if he got bumped here as much as he does in the UK. And let's ease up on the baseless insults.

I'm not sure it's a strange juxtaposition Rob. Sharpa deserves a place on the cover because of his commitment to his art despite all the obstacles in the way. However, Hype isn't just about uncompromising, 'underground' Hip Hop, so a little inside info on how to work the system is also a valid thing for anyone who is aiming to be more commercial.

I don't think there's any point getting pissed off with radio for not playing Sharpa (or any other local music that 'doesn't fit the format'). They are slaves to the majors and until the government introduces local music quotas nothing is gonna change.

That's the thing, you have to carve your own opportunities. Meet the right people. Make your own opportunities. We're humans, not machines, so everything in life is about relationships. Being all angry that your not allowed in the 'special media club' where all the opportunities just fall into your lap is not going to get you anywhere. Keep grinding - make your product the best it can be, then go out and market yourself. Let people know you're around. Write your proposals, write your motivation letters until someone feels you - then you'll be in that special media club too. It's not that hard.

A lot of doors will close in your face, but it wouldn't be any fun if it was easy.

Relationships or not, being real is all that matters...i aint gotta put you on
cos i like you and you fit my standards of living. Some people dont embrace or take
too kindly to people who dont share the same views as them. But you right...its
all about relationships, but just cos you got a relationship it dont mean yoll gotta
close doors for people who are not part of your "special media club". But i
guess thats how it works in this world. U aint gotta like me to show me love, just
be real and respect my shit. Anger is good, never supress emotion just
express appropreately. I aint mad at anybody...i just hate the system for real!
Show me love and ima show real love back!!! It would be fun even if it was easy...im
sure your experiances of hardship are different from mine so you wouldnt
understand...but i know we all got shit to deal with, but some of us have been dealt a
bad hand but i aint gona FOLD, if you know what i mean.........
he Realest...

Noone has said anything about the music.

Track 3. Maggz it's a given, but Dome and Omen? :o Dome's verse especially though is heavy on the rewind. "..but it's not them, it's the stress..." :D Too tight.

Track 4. Koldproduk. I said on these boards months & months ago dudes are sick. Right now I can't figure out whether or not the Maggz joint is tighter than the Kold joint.

Track 5. Slikour and Stethascope actually bang out something I think stands neck to neck with Jigga and JD's "Fallin." Too completely different approaches to the falling concept. Mmmm, but nah, can't hate on the way JD had that machine-gun-drumming just in the right place when the music breaks on the Jigga version...I'm rambling, Stethascope brought heat too.
Side note: It's a trip thinking bout the Dre, Timbo vs JD hate. Dre and Timbo are living legends, monsters of their respective domains. But JD flipping music like "Burn", "Little Mimi", that Dem Franchise boys snap jazz, that Bow Wow adolsecent market jazz, then knocks out something like "Fallin."...damn that beat. :o

Anyway, I must've listened to "Break" #3 & "How we ride" #4 for half an hour to 45mins the first time round before I moved on. That's fire. That "Break" is so fresh it's ridiculous. Omen and Dome can actually REALLY spit like...uh forget it. I'ma go put it on now.
