Pride Or Opportunity? (reply)

  This is the answer to the question of the guy from India. If you haven't read his story then go ahead and read it at this link Pride or Opportunity.

  Okay what this guy did was absolutely right. This shows not only his dedication to rap but also how he understands it. He chose Pride over Opportunity. We shouldn't forget that all a Rapper craves for is Respect, and this Respect is gained by converting opportunities. There is not a single Rapper who doesn't do it for respect and money is just a secondary aspect. In whatever things you do, never ever forget to ask yourself why you do that?? Meaning never forget the purpose of the task or its objective. Right from the time we went to school we were told that everything that happens is always happens for a reason and we are born to shine. If this guy waited back for his turn, every second that he sat back and watched would equal the damage done to his pride. And like he said "Il come back some other day to kickass!." This statement has a lot of hidden meaning in it. If you cant see that let me tell you he means "Ill leave this opportunity to catch another one, but one thing is for sure is that i will come back... " This guy has a lot of potential in his words, very few people can talk this way.

   Now why did all this happen in the first place?? Its because he had to rely on someone else. Rule one of the game is NEVER DEPEND ON ANYONE. At the end of the day its all about you. Only if he had edited the track before hand this wouldnt happen. But like I mentioned earlier everything happens for a reason. Be well prepared and think what can go wrong. Stay strong Rapiez!!

Pride Or Opportunity?

 There's this guy from India who follows the blog, he mailed me yesterday. He was caught up in a tight situation. Here's what the mail said...

  Ayo!! Lord Phocklin! Hi I am a follower of your blog. I make it a point to visit it atleast twice a week and I think its pretty cool! Okay lets get to the point. I want to share my story with you so that you can let me know if am right or wrong.

  I am an engineering student who is crazy about rap. Rap's life for me. There is this college festival of ours and I took part in various competitions, one of which was singing. Unfortunately there is no such competition totally dedicated to rap so I gave my name for singing. Me and my friend Sean were about to perform Drake- Forever. This was a great opportunity for us to showcase our talent, but first we had to go through the eliminations. We reached the college auditorium on time and there were so many people participating. The organizers who were seniors asked us to register ourselves once again and told us to copy the minus track on the laptop which was connected to the whole system. As it was an elimination round we had just 2mins to prove ourselves. I and Sean decided to sing the chorus together an then Sean does Drake and I do Eminem. So we asked the guy on the system to kinda like fast-forward it to 4:30 on the track when I signal him that is after Sean finishes his verse. He said its cool and we were second to perform. The track was played but we couldn't hear the beat so we asked them to turn the beat up. They said fine and the judges didn't mind as well. It stated off again and we sang the chorus together. Everything was going great . Sean started his verse and I supported him,then after a few lines am wondering why Sean was sounding off beat. But then I realized that useless wanker already forwarded it to 4:30 even though I didn't tell him to do so and he was busy chatting with his friends. I just couldn't go without the beat as you know you cant rap without the proper beat. So told one of the seniors "what the hell is going on??" he replied that times up you gotta go off stage but that guy didn't know what was wrong. Then I went off stage  and made them realize their mistake they said fine don't get angry we will give you a chance and call you back once everybody is done. I said get lost and we walked out.....I lost an opportunity! What I did was right or wrong? I told them IL come back some other day to kickass! Wont let them go so easy....
