RECENT THOUGHTS ON DC MUSIC...
(longpostalert longpostalert longpostalert)

sup y'all- dp here.

you know what? i hate the term "HATE"
yet & still, i find "HATE" to be a useful piece of information

i can completely understand how THEY feel
'they' being rappers.
badass rappers
big ol' braggin' & boastin' badass rappers

inflated sense of self-importance? oh no!
you have affirmation
EVERYBODY says you're probably the best. certainly, one of the best
you crushed that open mic that one time
and you KNOW that DC has never really blown up a rapper
(nonchalant? questionmark asylum? psssssht...)

you have (created) every reason to puff out your chest and think "MEEEEEEEEE... it's gotta be me"

but then it happened.
THIS ARTICLE effed you up

BLYSS?!? who the...? what the...? BLYSS?!???!
no mentions of contenders
no tales of 'the scene'
your name is NOT in the article
("dawg, see if they mention me... maybe i missed it.")

this is all Blyss all day and Blyss onlyyy

feel THAT...
taste that taste (bile? insecurity?)
aaargh
brush ya shoul... AAARGH!!!
F*CK THAT!!!
WHOISTHISBLYSSCAT?!!?
KINGOFDC?!? YAARGHHH!!!
HE AIN'T $HIT WHYTHEYINTERVIEWHIM?!?!?
why
didn't they
talk
to
.
.
.
.
me.
*sniff*

at this stage in the long-ass narrative, allow me, naturalaw-dp, darrell perry, one of the aforementioned 'rappers' currently residing in the dc metro area (southwest, to be exact) to respond to all gentlemen/women who reacted to the Blyss article in the described fashion:

-you're showin' ya colors, potnah.
you're showing your true nature: dyspeptic. utterly self-interested
you look bad whinin' about another man's success that was not achieved at any disadvantage or expense to YOU.

and finally, you are proving that you lack an understanding of how one gets ahead in the music game.

really, there was only ONE valid question about the whole scenario: did the reporter get bamboozled into writing a story on a cat that is not actually on the grind?

answer: no. Blyss is making moves. i don't know Blyss. i'm pretty sure Blyss doesn't know me- but being a cat who likes to keep tabs on the industry i'm (remotely) involved in... yeah, i know about him.

i also know that an article about an up & coming DC-born MC who has a manager with an impressive resume credit could easily be an article about Head-Roc.

nope- this is Blyss's jont
i had advance notice of the article, thanks to my sources at the Post
he cold predicted a massive outbreak of hatred.
he was pretty much right
(the prescient dj...)

so...
just to put it out there
from POEM-CEES to Blyss: Congratulations on the good press man.

keep mashin'
