I didn't take the rules personally, or think you were talking about me Jason, I just was stating my opinion on the subject. None of them really apply to me anyway, but if they did, it wouldn't matter. I'm pretty much with Cash on this, there are too many factors as to why people get a chance, or blo...

These are Jason's Rap Rules. Can't say I agree with any of these, but it is a good conversation starter. Here's one: If you don't rap and you only listen to it, then you can't make "rap" rules. You don't have to rap in order to know what standards are. Critics aren't actors. Judges aren't contestan...

At the end of the day, as an ARTIST you need to do you. There are a lot of reasons why you may not be SUCCESSFUL as defined by others. You should be realistic in what you want to accomplish and how you go about it, but at the end of the day, listening to other people on what you should or shouldn't ...

Re: Rap Rules

If you are Canadian you have one strike against you. It's not because you don't have the skills it's because you're Canadian. Rap is becoming worldwide but it is and will always be a U.S. business. Acts that don't cross over in the U.S. (Mecca) where it truly matters are equivalent to a tree fallin...
