I’ll say it straight up with no doubt, Snap is not only my favorite rapper but one of the best out there period!!! I say this and at the same time I get infuriated when I listen to the Niyat and Snap in solo projects because they are not getting any pub for the hard work they are puttin in and these T-Pain – soul-ess – ja boys are running around makin millions. It pisses me off to no end. We have to elevate the real cats. I actually called into a radio station recently and asked them to play the Niyat and some others I love. (of course I knew they didn’t know who they were) Dude’s reply was “I don’t know who they are.” My reply was “You need to F’in find out cuz these cats murder anything you’re playin right now.” the DJ actually asked me where he could go to listen to it.”
That’s it right there. If all of us would bombard these wack ass stations and keep hittin em daily? Then who knows? A movement is a constant, resilient, and relentless force that requires a certain amount of discipline to support it. In order to change public opinion and perception, we have to be willing to constantly inform the outside world about what they are being denied. I feel this way for a reason and hope that we can help change the culture.
