As I drove down Leetsdale and saw one of those sign flippers rapping his little heart out, I came to a revelation regarding some peoples frustration with the scene. People speak on biases, cliques, and being left out, but really it all comes down to who wants it more. The little sign flipper may be the dopest rapper in town, but well never know unless he gets out there and hustles his music, books shows, etc. So, maybe youre seeing the same names on bills, or in publications or award shows, but thats because those are the people that are putting in work, getting their name out there in whatever way possible. If you want it, get out there and take it! Or keep flipping that sign, whatever. Shouts to Ru for reminding me to make this post.
