I like “F!re” a lot, the rest of the album is lukewarm, but they have a lot of promise. I hope they stick around for a while.

“But if opportunity knocks, do you take it… or say hold up, let me finish these chores?”

I don’t think anyone can honestly tell anyone who has a chance to get their foot in the door not to take that chance. But once you get in, you have to take it upon yourself to hone your craft. With these 360 deals that record labels are trying to hit cats with, record labels are not developing their artists. That’s why it seems like new acts are falling out of the sky. They get some internet buzz and have “swag”( I just vomitted while typing that. Clean up aisle 6) They will have an album out as fast as lil kim’s fake boob can fall out her dress.

on the subject of opportunity, i agree with gotty.

when high school athletes jump directly into the NBA or leave college early for the draft, critics say, “they should’ve stayed in college” & shit. sometimes they’re right, cuz for every success like K.G. & kobe you have a failure like eddy curry & kwame brown.

but when you’re a kid from a poor family, the future is uncertain, the NCAA cakes off you ain’t even giving you a stipend… you’re GONNA take that $2 million on the table from the NBA. period. you’d be a fool not to. yeah, eddy curry is a bum, but he’s set for life financially… all the boos & criticism in the world won’t change that.

anyone who claims that for artistic reasons, they’d refuse a lucrative deal from interscope, an opportunity to be on HBO’s “entourage,” and a chance to quit their day jobs & move their family out of the hood doing something they ENJOY… that person is either lyin’ or they don’t have a hustler mentality. it’s easy to be philosophical when there ain’t a pile of gwap on the table.

as for sarah palin? she’ll be running for prez in 2012, believe dat. for all the trouble she caused, she re-vitalized her party to a degree. millions of people voted against them, but don’t forget, millions of folks voted FOR them too.

anyways…in no way would I put them in the same category as The Cool Kids…

they’re more Sa-Ra or Platinum Pied Pipers

I’mma give it some mo’ run and see if it grows on me, but it’s definitely some next shit, it’s worth a shot, and there’s definitely a time and place for this

^ Great analogy. I had no clue who she was before then…. and I’m sure there are a lot of other people who can co-sign that.

““But if opportunity knocks, do you take it…or say “hold up, let me finish this list of chores first”?””

like Sarah Palin having an opportunity to take a VP running mate spot and not being properly vetted….bad analogy?
