Ice Spice & Mediocre Music - Off-Script Rant

[@EddieFigueroa-c3p]

Yes I spice you came out of nowhere and they pretty much hyped you up like they do with all the newcomers I didn't know how to get into the music business to know this I had to learn on my own and educate myself through other people's experiences and I've been around excellent bands with very good writing but unfortunately because of the industry there was no real money to be made and if whatever real money was to be made it was through many years of being in the business in order to get some recognition and to start making a fairly substantial amount of money was not a great amount the music industry really puts you in front of well-known people but it kind of leaves you in the dirt for a Goodwill I do feel sorry for your woman you're a beautiful woman but you live in la-la land the world is not what you think it is life is overrated and and complicated I guess you have found that out at first hand which you're not the only one there's thousands of you that I found out the same thing my advice to you go go to college be somebody now it doesn't guarantee that you're going to have a job at your profession after you spend $90 and $100,000 to go to college but like I said life is a little complicated and overrated let me put it that way it all depends on what you choose in life to do is very important that you choose the right thing now I'm a man of a little bit of wisdom and I have gone through a lot of experiences I try to be in the professional boxing world well my license was taken away and I was in town champ but it is what it is you know sometimes you try to be who you want to be but sometimes you can't be what you want to be now I have to say this and this may sound a little bad of me but sometimes in this world you kind of have to be a little like my feel so in order to get a little respect and whatever it is that you want to do let's say like running a business sometimes it's not that easy you do get some people that kind of want to muscle you out and you have to let them know that you don't play that's really the way it goes now it all depends on what business you choose what feel is always good to be in the positive when it comes to life because the positive brings the positive the negative brings what the negative so the music industry is something that you have to do it all yourself and it is all blood sweat and tears it's all about a big sacrifice your time energy work.... So it is what it is so I wish the very best for you guys I know you barely made any money at all they made it all from you they got a good portion of whatever you made the other ones getting rich you're not getting nothing but at least you got the meat famous people and be around staging and be in front of hundreds of thousand people it makes you look good but in reality you're not really up there like you thought it was going to be it does take a little time and that's if you stay long enough and only make a little bit of money. now a hip hop music there are some people that have made it big but those are the very few those are the two and three percenters and that's the way it is the address is kind of they make you look good they make you look like you got it they put you in a condominium or a mansion but you don't own none of that they just let you have it while you working for them but meanwhile 90% 95% of whatever you make 100% you keep 5% they keep 95% you have to pay for everything so that's the reality of the music entertainment world now if you want to be a professional boxer and stuff like that and that's a whole different thing or you want to be a doctor you want to be a lawyer you want to be a professor it all depends on what kind of professor but you know those are the things you got to do in order to make it in life and when you working with a lot of folks like the the lighting the moving company getting on the plane bringing your luggage then moving the Apple the app the the the the the the the the the the the the the speakers and all the equipment needed and all that by the time you turn around you didn't make a damn thing you just you just a name and a face you're just a name and a face so you already starting to see that at first hand so it is like that it is like that so I'm glad you figured that out for yourself I didn't have to be in the music business I have done a little few things here and there and made a little hustle here and there and when it comes to rap music is the most complicated music there is an order for you to get anywhere in anywhere so and it's also complicated music it's just another language but you have to be your own person when it comes to that and practically that nobody nobody now you I spy she got the face you got the body you got the the youth but that's basically it's what all that you have is what you have that's the most that you're going to have and the rest is going to be very little so I hate to say that way to you I know what you're thinking man how this guy knows that does how he knows that well there's so many people that get into the same thing that you gotten into they're in the thousands you're not the only one if you really want to make it in music you have to do it yourself if you really want to make it a music you have to be controversial if you really want to make it a music you have to be real with your music if you really want to make any music you have to make music that talks about the times and the times that everybody's facing and then you become controversial then you become somebody that's being watched by the FBI and stuff like that then you get a little publicity then you become a little famous and that'll be your best way to do it but really really have to put you'll self out there as far as that what I say to that no thank you no thank you I like my privacy I like my life just the way it is I don't have to be your slave to the paper chase and the coin and everything else is really chasing paper that's what I'll be doing for the rest of my life a lot of people you see already old already old still in the music business that's stuck with it they are stuck with it why because they made an allegiance to a club and they went beyond everything else that was negative and they stay with the negative that's the reality of that
