FFS man, you're crazy!  So you can't cant produce like a pro yet but you have a delivery when you rap that really is second to none.  There are guys on MTV who cant spit like you.  You don't need the whole package...one bit at a time, or just stick to what you are best at.

I've been doing the music thing since I was 16.  Thats 15 years in July.  I only made my first $$ in May last year, after getting serious and working on it for an average 4 hours a day since the end of 2003.  And it'll probably be a while yet before I've paid for all the equipment I've bought, if at all.  But I really can't stop doing it.  Do it or die trying is my motto.

Well, I wont try to persuade you, you know my views already.

I ain't accomplished much in 10 years either.  I do it not because it makes me money (I got a real job that pays my bills) but because I need to put the music out. I get frustrated listening to bland music, so instead of complaining, I just make some of my own. (Hopefully not as bland.)

You should just stick with it as a hobby if nothing else. Everybody's gotta have a hobby.

Stay blessed,

we all have our down times V

I was listening to lunatic fluid earlier today, and it was your verse that stood out the most to me.

It's your call, but like a lot of us, you sometimes need to just walk away for a wee while, and take a break, then get your buzz back.

Whatever you do, all the best

Reality sucks,

You've just been hit with a dose of it.

The reality is, its hard to make it in the music industry.So many people  discover this and give it up.

At the end of the day, its your choice man, but I'll say this. During your declaration you said a couple of time that you have and do love it. So why you giving away something you love? I resigned myself a long time ago to not being signed, it doesn't stop me wanting to be signed and trying. But I do music for me now, You see I do love it, I love it everytime I create something new, its my baby, no one elses. I don't write to be famous, I do it cause if i didn't then a part of me would die,

So if you've made your Choice V, then so be it. But ask youself,

"Do I love it?"

Or is that just bull

Respect to you, and whatever your choice
