I got this from Murs page. Definitely great advice.

A msg. to the up and coming artists. Sorry I haven't looked at your music page...

but it's something I just don't do. I don't believe on giving my opinion on the music of others. At least not back to the artists. Because I may not be a fan. But I'm sure there is someone who is. The opinion of one man should mean very little. Due to that philosophy I've never shopped a demo or liked to send my material out for review. Value the opinions of your loved ones and most importantly of your FANS. I can't sign you and I probaly can't put you on my next tour. I have a grip of homeboys looking for help as well. I can give advice. But it may not be right for you, so take it with a grain of salt. I know that Rhymesayers listens to some of the demos that come through thier office. Try them if you are that type. Or if you dig the Do It Yourself Legends approach. Do your best, record it then take it to the streets. Rap anywhere and everywhere you can. If it was meant to be, it will be but you can't take no for an answer. As my mentors told me Control Destiny!!!!

P.S. I made it this far never asking my favorite rappers what they thought of me, cuz personally I could give a fuck. I was gonna keep doing this shit regardless of what they thought.
