MYSPACE!




I got a Myspace. I had like 5 REAL friends on there. The other people were co-workers or old friends from my old hometown. Both of which are just looking to be in your business. Not much to do but paste stupid comments on each others page. I wanted all these people to know that I had found new music and they should have a listen. I wanted to support local hip hop so I added Jawz and Mojo to my top 10. Shit, who don't have a top 10? "Fallin'" was the song on my page and as soon as you clicked on my page you just knew it was something you had never heard before. Before I knew it I was getting like 10 friend requests a day. Not that bot shit either. More of my old friends started to look me up and we discussed music and where I was finding new stuff at. I just used my page to thumb through page after page of music pages like a DJ diggin' in the crates. If I found an artist I liked, I would just hit them up with a comment and ask for a free download. 99.9% of the time they would hit me off with a joint or two via email for free. I'm like "This is the shit, free fucking music and I get to pick what I listen too". Artists would show respect and hit me back on the regular. My top 10 was now a top 24 or some shit and all of my tops were producers or emcees. Ok, so MYSPACE. Thats just it. ME,ME,ME and more about me. "I'm so cool, is this a popularity contest....if so I will win". I decided to cancel my personal page and start an artist page myself. I knew I was gonna flip the script and make it all about YOU,YOU,YOU. Support local hip hop and give these people maximum exposure or as much as I could offer. A million pages it seemed like I went through to see if anybody else was doing what I was doing and could not find one. I must be one in a million.
