IF U AIN'T HIT THE STAGE YET, THEN YOU AIN'T NO REAL ARTIST!!!


NEWS FLASH: IF U AIN'T HIT THE STAGE YET, THEN YOU AIN'T NO REAL ARTIST!!!...No disrespect, but if you are the cat on facebook, myspace, and youtube uploading videos of your songs or your Spoken Word pieces, braggin' about how dope you are and have yet to spit in front of a real crowd of people, then you ain't no true artist...yet. I got a saying, "In order to call it a masterpiece, one must first master the piece." And in order to fully master your piece it has to be perfected in front of a group of diverse minds and different perspectives. Granted, everyone may not feel what you saying (you gone always have hataz), but if you are truly dope like you say you are, the people will give you good feedback. And if you are not, they will let you know that also. The hataz might even like it, even though they might not let you know. Me personally, I wanna reach my full potential as an artist and in order to do that I know that creating a stage presence for myself is essential and very important for my growth and confidence as an artist. Plus, more people will be willing to buy whatever product you are selling, whether it be CD's, DVD's, or whatever, if they witness an artist performing in person rather than hearing it and seeing it on the Internet. I'm not trying to sound negative and if I do, sorry. I'm just saying, I know it's a lotta catz out here that's just doing it because they ain't got nothing else to do or just for fun by pretending and playing artist and record label...But to the cats that are really serious about their craft, this goes out to you: THE EVOLUTION WILL NOT BE COMPUTERIZED...It will be on stage brothers...Peace and One Love...Ghost

  1. Let it be known that the stage does not literally mean a physical platform how ever I agree brother. Every artist has a responsibility to his or her audience and that is to teach, enlighten, and encourage. The stage that ghost speaks of is a symbolic embodiment of the publicity that one gains as an artist so to add to ghost' comments i'd like to say if you do not accept the responsibility of the stage you're not a real artist, also if you misuse the stage you're not a real artist.
