I played pool with 50 cent and G-Unit at his G-Unit clothing office before it closed down.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Well Barack Obama has come forward to tell our youth shouldn't strive to be rappers and ballers but scholars, engineers and doctors. So to me that said a lot, so I guess he thinks being rapper or baller is kind of dumb but wait did I misunderstand him. I love Obama anyway. There's nothing wrong with being a rapper that is in school studying to be a doctor or engineer.

Right now you have to have a fan base in order to get signed. I actually know the New Boyz who are currentyl 17 and 18 I think and what they did to get signed was post a video on youtube and work hard

2009-08-28 Rap:

At this point in time, its not about getting discovered. Its about building your fan base and your brand. You can start with your hood. Do shows in your local community video tape the shows and put them

2009-07-02 Rap:

First you have to get a producer and get your music recorded. Once you have a song recorded send it to all the blogs and websites. If you don't get any feedback its ok just record a mixtape and distribute

You can contact him through his record label Def Jam. Do I think Kanye will do it? Depends on if he knows the charity or not. If he is not familiar with the charity he probably won't do it. Antoine
