ScarFace Posted February 22, 2006 I ask this question because he is on the M1 Video M-1 (Dead Prez) ft Stori James & K'Naan - Till We Get' plus he's getting praises as far as australia.... so is he making it in america.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Lee Posted February 22, 2006 I think ol' boy may have more critical acclaim than commercial success but he definitely has the potential to make it and blow up big (at least as an underground artist) Here we go, from the poorest and blackest of people: to surviving in the streets of Mogadishu: The most dangerous and armed and lethal: yet peaceful: we know evil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Faarax Posted February 22, 2006 This blowing up big business, how many years does it take, this boi been on the mic for 5 to 6 years now and writting even before that. I guess it is time to try maybe a degree or something, Love the art but dont make it a living period. The entertainment business is clear now, pitty doesnt get you nowhere, You gotta scream their products and ideas in order to get paid. If you wanna be underground, prepare to stay under the ground till some kids find you and say to each other..."he is kewl" That's my take ...peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHE Posted February 22, 2006 He is the likes of Kweli and Common,back then, who havent had much of commercial success. Yet, their music found success within the true hip-hop culture, interms of acclaim and acknowlegment.I heard him, he spits venom,but i dont see him blowing up.Conscious rappers dont get the attention of big labels.Am not even sure if he intends to mainstream his shid.Not many wanna listen to remix of Cadheys Ciise.

War ninkaas maalin walba uu jidadkaan Koronto iska taag taagan yahay, with his "entourage." I can ship him for you, shipping and handled included.
