In a recent interview with HipHopDX, King Los aired out his frustrations regarding communication in Hip Hop today.
During the conversation, the Baltimore lyricist questioned the access in today’s culture and expressed his disproval with not being able to reach those on a “higher level.”
“We’ve become so elusive because the allure of being unavailable is sexy in our culture,” King Los says during a recent recording session at Hollywood’s West-One Productions studio. “You can’t talk to Jay [Z], you can’t call Jay right now. You can’t. I don’t give a fuck if you know him, you can’t talk to Jay. And it’s so funny, man — I got to talk to this guy, to talk to this guy, to talk to this guy, to talk to this guy, to not even ever talk to you, man. In all honesty, I will never fucking talk to you. Lets be real. Let’s be honest, man. Are you going to take five minutes out of your day to actually talk to me so we can really figure out the miscommunications that are happening? Nah. Hip Hop has no communication. So the fact that we have no communication means everybody is fucking broke except for the people that run this shit.
“I can’t reach nobody on the higher level, that just won’t ever happen,” King Los adds. “I had dudes walk me in to meetings. Getting in to Universal or any label, yo, those buildings are more secure than muthafucking federal courthouses. You can’t get in them buildings. You need a badge, check in — you have to go through levels of shit. Who’s signing niggas Barack [Obama]? [Laughs] Who is signing niggas, bro? You can walk straight up in to some federal shit and take a piss. This shit is nuts, bro — you can’t get in BET! It ain’t that easy. You go up in that muthafucka and see it’s a fucking plantation up [in] that bitch. Shit is crazy, bro. And it’s like, ‘Why are these buildings impenetrable?’ [Laughs] Why can’t I have a fucking meeting with the person that I really need to talk to? Why are the lines of communication so separate? Why?”
In a story published last week, King Los named Jay Z and Andre 3000 as the last rappers to be lyrically incredible while still appealing to the masses.
so hes mad he cant call jay-z up despite having no business with him?
Why is Los so adamant about getting signed…. Major label sh*t is dead. Go independent, establish your fanbase (which you already have) and grind it out!!!
This dude sounds dumb as shit, no wonder he’s always in limbo and hasn’t really done shit.
Jay-Z has no business with him anyway, no wonder he can’t get a meeting with Jay-Z.
Dude’s got problems.
he’s kicking some real stuff.. instead of looking for ways to diss him have an open mind..
“You can’t talk to Jay [Z], you can’t call Jay right now. You can’t. I don’t give a fuck if you know him, you can’t talk to Jay. “
he just said niggas is broke lol.. everyone is broke besides the bosses.. reiterating what we all knew
can’t stunt this nigga sounds salty for real.. he had a point but he took it too far like he’s beggin to get signed.. he can’t stunt on tracks from now on he needs to talk about being broke and not being able to get signed rt
I thought this nigga was gonna talk about how nobody communicates, with each other and with the population. instead he was talking about how Jay Z and other bosses wont talk to him when he tries to get in contact with them about a record deal. -_- … i thought he was gonna kick some deep shit but naw
When you could just walk in the building, you got shot like TuPac. And no one knew nothing. I’m surprised TuPac’s estate couldn’t sue that production studio for the lackluster security. Then they signing dudes like Bobby Shmurder ( real alleged killers.). I don’t want to talk to them either, just get me my money.
Bruh…….you were signed with Puffy..you think he would he learn his lesson with Major Labels after this but he still wants to be appreciated by execs who only see worth in sales numbers. Sign to Fools Gold or a label that fucks with your type of sound
this guy thinks all rappers get a bat phone that goes directly to jay, puffy, and dre.
