This blog won't take up too much of your time. I just remembered a statement that comes up frequently when barber shop debates about who's the hottest/dopest/illest/whatever MC. As soon as I corner someone's arguement about how not good their favorite rapper is all I hear is,"Da nigga be grindin B thughh!" by the way shouts goin out to all my T-Hugs in the building. Which building? Yo no Se.
I consider myslf an artist and indeed I am sensitive about my shit. Shit being my material. I sit down for hours at a time and pump out some cool sounding shit for the listener. It is important that I take the time to think about what I am saying , so the listener doesn't lose the point. I dont spend hours perfecting my grind. But should I ?
Let us define "Grind"....1. v,(Gri-'N-Dingh) functionality of a person to maintain homeostasis and survive within one's own confines. 2. A daily regiment of hustling and dooing that quote un quote gangsta shit. 3. A unique system of human lifestyle that includes taking care of buisness."Wow, that brother got three cars, he must be on the grind" Hence our popular phrase"Grinding"
My point is I give credit where credit is due and if you suck you suck. If you were terrible in 93 and still rappin in 08,your still terrible. please do not say, "respect my grind, niggaz been doin it for years B." So what, respect my foot up your ass. Your grind could be strong as fuck, IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A BETTER MC. It makes your marketability go up, not skill.The two are not directly proportional. I just know that all my hours promoting on myspace has not helped my writing skills, or freestyle in any way. I thank Enter The Cyher for all newly acquired skilzzzzzzz..
I dunno what do you guys think about the almight GRIND?
