I Listen To Better Music Than You (Zack Einhorn)

Its all about Wayne/ I respond to Commenters

Ok so first of all please pardon the spelling and grammar (there are errors all over this blog), I'm writting this on my sidekick (3, I'm getting the LX when I get back...truthfully I wanna switch to something that doesn't have painfully-slow-shoot-yourself-in-the-fucking-head internet speed but I love the sidekick keyboard) Anyway I'm out here in Miami with J. Cardim and my artist G-Eyez (www.myspace.com/respectandpower) and Its raining like a bitch, south beach is fucking empty, shit is really wack. We're down here trying to build with artists and shit. (shout to Papa Smirf and the whole Poe Boy clique + Jay Rob and his artist OZ, lookout for that kid, he's fire)

 Ok so the subject "Its All About Wayne." I really diddnt wanna write a blog about weezy because this guy is the subject of so many people's blogs already, but shit,yall love wayne. It seems like no matter what song or blog (including my last one) it is, the convo in the comments always ends up going to Weezy F. Maybe (Gay)...sorry, its too easy (shout 2 the boy Tuge for that one haha)...Off bat let it be known that we've been rocking wayne in the rental car pretty much the whole time we've been down here (that new empire tape is killin em..fuck u bitch, my shirt brand new) and I am a weezy fan. That being said, weezy is probobly the most inconsistent rapper in the game. But shit, can u blame him? Homie drops like 4 songs a week, so even if only 1 of them is hot (and his percentage is better than that) then dude is still putting out a lot of good music. In fact, the new issue of Vibe Magazine has an article in it that lists the 77 best wayne appearences of the year. (I wonder how they were able to narrow it down from 19282736473929273920472027392292739287392938320308301930207474 they had 2 choose from) In that sense, I see where the 2pac comparisons come from. On the other hand though I think wayne is a little more like a nas...not because of his music in any way but because they both say fucking outlandish shit in interviews. (in fact, in the comment section everyone should leave their favorite ridiculous wayne or nas quote)

 Ok so why do I like wayne u ask? On top of the reasons that everyone says, (swagger, he says original/nonsensical things that u can't help but laugh at, and u have 2 admit, he does go in lyrically about half the time) I like wayne because he has a quality that is needed in order to be a great artist. (not rapper, mc, lyricist...ARTIST) He has soul. Its a quality that makes "regrets" "lucky me" and "song cry" some of Jay-Z's best material. Without this emotive quality, an artist cannot connect with his fans on a human level. What's cool about wayne is that on his soulful songs he's not afriad to portray himself as the victim. (see anyone of his songs where he cries over nivea, trina, superhead or whoever he's fucking this week) Most rappers have wayyyy too many insecurity issues to ever admit that they've lost at anything ever....ever. Now as far as being the best alive, I can't really get with that. I mean maybe the best rapper this year or like these past 2 years but another important quality in a great artist is longevity and who knows where wayne will be in a couple years. This is the kind of game where a rapper can go from the biggest name out, to irrelevant faster than u can say DMX.

 

Btw since we're on the subject, who do u think is gonna come our first (if ever) saigon or dr dre? Damn, that could be its on blog...shit maybe ill break that down in the next joint...

 

Ok, so, new section. (My transitions are incredible I know, my high school english teachers would be so proud...they also hated when I used parentheses) I kinda noticed in reading other people's blogs on other sites (that dude bol on xxlmag.com is a monster) that pretty much no one responds to the commenters (prolly cause yall are the same fucking losers I was talking about in the last blog) but I fuck with yall for reading my shit so lets converse. Here are a couple comments from my last entry that I thought were interesting. (This is also a good way to address my campaign to get fans off their labtops and on a checkout line at Best Buy)

 

"Mainstream like the generals sitting at base camp behind desks putting out public announcements and shit and reaping the benefits while the underground artists like the grunts in the trenches doin the real shit......To each her own though. Mainstream just that shit that's been bought and paid for by corporate america and jammed down ya throat.

Where as if you into some underground artist, it's cause you had to go out searching on ya own and found some shit you fell in love with."

That last part was really beautiful in a gay kind of way but I feel u. 'When did you fall in love with hip hop' brown sugar? (Rin and Tin the hip hop dalmations are the illest ever...the hoe is miiiinnneee) Anyway, I digress, that comparison to the army surely has some validity but these days record labels don't really build artists anymore so its not quite as manufactured as it seems. Its just that the artists who create the biggest local buzzes get deals so the label can do as little work as possible. I think a major issue today is that record labels only have 5 or 6 ways of marketing hip hop. They figure why spend money on marketing techniques that cater to new audiences (like say, the audio section commenter audience) when they can just continue to sign artists who fit into those 5 or 6 marketing stradegies that they already know? That's why there is no inovation in the game. Once in a while an artist like Kanye will come out and be an exception but even Kanye had to have the Jay-Z co-sign before he could pop off. Thanks 4 reading.

 

"A lot of these artists that are so called real hip hop, are pushing

positive music on whak ass beats and sounding extremely annoying in their delivery...I mean after all it is MUSIC. IT's suppose to sound good. If it don't sound good give it up and write a book of poetry fucking clowns."

Hahah yeeeah man, I couldn't agree with you more homie, I could've written a whole blog about that shit. The person spreading the message has 2 be a strong salesman. Yeah for sure on the poetry book or at least ghost write or battle online or something hah. Good looks on reading maynn

 

"From what I have personally witnessed, fans of lesser known hip hop artists are MUCH more inclined to buy an album...It's not about getting UG heads to buy good albums, it's about getting the masses to STOP buying trash albums. Thats a start, at least

 

I'm not sure if I understand the first part. If fans of lesser known

acts are much more inclined to buy the album (then fans of better known acts I assume u mean) then why do better known acts sell more? Are the people buying their albums not their fans? As far as getting people to buy fewer trash albums, I def see what u mean but I guess I just feel like the root of the problem is that people can only buy what they know is out, the labels only promote what they think people will buy and they don't neccessarily know exactly what people might buy. Thanks 4 reading homie

 

"I comment on this website on a regular basis, but I actually BUY the CDs that I praise. In defense of the fans of "real hip hop" artists, the average consumer may not be able to get certain music because certain artists have weak distribution. If it ain't in Best Buy, niggas will download it."

That's good that u buy cds man. I feel you on the distribution but heads can cop the music online. Thanks 4 reading cuzz.

 

"ZACK, you can't base the sales of REAL HIP HOP artists on just a few people's comments in an audio section fam."

Posted by TheGodJustice

 

That's what I'm trying to say though man. I don't think its just a few people. This community is huge and I feel like there is potential for a movement that could bring attention to some quality music. Thanks a lot 4 peeping the blog.

 

"One and a half enthusiastic thumbs up'

"I feel what you sayin' my dude, real talk. Keep up the good work, im lookin forward to hearin what you got to say in the future. Puttin motherfuckas on blast, YA DIG!"

Good looking out!! Lets keep it going!! Thanks 4 reading.

 

 

P.S. Go to the audio section and peep my artist Tuge's joint "Continue to Grind" produced by Hi-Tek...(shout to Joe Cap for getting that up when I had no internet access)Tuge is this crazy new artist I'm dealing with. You may have heard him on the BMF album on a song called "Star in the Hood" with Bleu Davinci. We're getting his mixtape together and its coming out really well. J. Cardim is on there as well as a few suprises...speaking of which, the "Continue to Grind" remix is in the works, and as cliched as it sounds, we're bringing new york back (there,

I said it) gotta go take this shot of patron, I'm in miami writing blogs haha...
