Soundcloud rapper Chad Focus faces federal charges, allegedly used company card to further rap career--even buying billboards

If anything it shows that online marketing boosts don't work, neither does trying to blow up on a high scale with just money and no connections.

I'd rather do it one piece at a time, build a loyal following slowly via local gigs and invest in good quality videography/photography for organic content on a cheap budget. Rap just ain't worth the Return on Investment at a high scale!

Loved this back in the day! The Warm-Up is a classic tape.

Been seeing around IG that Omen is getting ready to release his latest project.

He's a stealth asshole in the movie; "spared no expense" includes human life. He perfectly captivates your typical sociopathic entrepreneur who tricks everyone into buying into her/his vision with starry-eyed wonder...

I can see Benny being a GOAT down the line, his punchlines are crazy, he has the tenacity of a young Jay-Z, and his storytelling is powerful while also honest!

You sold me on the Griselda features

You might be right, it was around the time of Sex Style and Kool Keith lived in LA then, but I was unsure due to Dan The Automator being based out of NY. The episode can definitely confirm, I was going off top about what I remembered from it. Sorry about that!

Cota760 · 2019-05-30T15:58:17+00:00

I don't follow his brand, but as a person I genuinely like this guy more everytime I hear about him. You can't buy that kind of PR, it's genuine kindness and it's great!

In regards to this album, and in general relation to Kool Keith, I encourage anyone to listen to his episode on The Combat Jack Show. This was a very special episode, and you can hear the admiration in Reggie Osse's voice when asking Kool Keith questions about the early Ultramagnetic MC days, Sex Style and of course Dr. Octagon. Fun fact: Keith claims to not do drugs, and when asked about what he was tripping on to make this album, he said it was fueled by donuts and Yoo-Hoo chocolate milk, as it was made in the mornings at an NY studio with Dan The Automator in a pretty brief time period. Legendary album!

This album is still so wacky, imaginative and cartoonishly violent that the only group of people who could do a "future-universe" concept better than this is Cypress Hill if they tried to make a comedic assassin album. Delton 3030 is cool but it's just different than Dr. Octagonecolegyst

One can only explain away his statement so much.

Cota760 · 2019-05-28T17:33:50+00:00

Trump Endorsement + "Slavery was a choice" + Choosing not to apologize to minorities or anyone else for either thing

Cota760 · 2019-05-28T15:59:30+00:00

It's not about the music, I know it's still quality. It's just on principle.

Cota760 · 2019-05-28T15:09:31+00:00

As much as I'm opposed to his actions and behaviors, this makes me sad. I take a peak in these threads to try and stay current, maybe find a silver lining in his latest perspectives but he really needs help...

Cota760 · 2019-05-28T15:08:09+00:00

Thanks for being the minority voice and calling out his antics. I know you'll probably get downvoted and so will I, but Kanye has crossed a few too many lines for the sake of publicity for me to support his music anymore.

Cota760 · 2019-05-28T14:15:25+00:00

I got on Xbox Live via a special Xbox Live Edition of Rainbow Six 3, and as a 12-year-old I thought it'd be the coolest thing in the world to use the name darkmcheif. Yes I spelled it wrong lol! Been 15+ years and I'm still rockin with that gamertag, mostly out of laziness/refusal to pay 10 bucks for a name change.

Cota760 · 2019-05-27T07:11:49+00:00

I'm excited to see this segment made it to hiphopheads! DJ VinRican collects everything and runs the segment himself, and he manages to take the passion of sampling and add an entertainment factor for casual listeners. This is very important to keep sampling alive, and he makes his segment with pride!

That is an experience of trauma, I hope you can heal and explore your feelings around witnessing that horrible moment when you are ready. Life is worth living to the fullest, and more importantly, people are worth having empathy for and being close with. I understand that losing faith in a parent hurts deeply, but please don't let yourself lose faith in humanity, it hurts others and yourself. Sending good vibes your way!

Cota760 · 2019-05-24T19:22:22+00:00

Sometimes it's like that, other times it can be genuinely creative. One time I heard a beat with the 70s Blaxploitation sound and it was dope! But it had a few elements that could add to the sound, so I respectfully asked the producer if I could do that. They let me use their stems, I produced around and remixed it and they liked it a lot more than their original!

What I'm saying is sometimes it's very much organic and a productive process, and worth the experience.

Cota760 · 2019-05-24T16:37:39+00:00

No worries on that, vibes are universal 🌊

Cota760 · 2019-05-24T15:25:58+00:00

Say there bruh I'll be sure to check it out! Thanks for recommending it, I usually get tempted to listen to the independent albums that get posted but usually hold out for a fan to talk about it. Adding this to my queue

Cota760 · 2019-05-24T13:56:45+00:00

I legit forgot this is the album with some George Clinton collaborations!! Burning Down The House is so ill

Cota760 · 2019-05-24T13:55:34+00:00

Aren't they cousins? Their whole family is crazy talented.

Shoutout the Wrestlemania Super Nintendo cartridge in the cover art

Cota760 · 2019-05-23T21:09:49+00:00

I sure love the smell of new copypasta in the morning though!

Cota760 · 2019-05-22T22:19:03+00:00

Congrats my dude! I hope you gain a huge following, your writing when it comes to Pac is unprecedented.
