NOVA: THE BLOG

....if there is anything that drives me more than my family and my love for this music...it is my homeboy Wiz Khalifa.

......it is exciting to see him blow up like this...and have so many gates opening because of the work that's been happening for YEARS now....

.....the team at Rostrum has done a tremendous job hustling and making it work....and Wiz's own skill and talent is the reason everything has worked....

.....To see WIZ where he is NOW....versus when we were BOTH grinding it out in Pittsburgh...it's 1/2 way DOPE..and half way HORRIBLE for me...lol!!!

I have to look in the mirror and say "damn, he's doing it...and i'm still posting youtube videos with other artist names to get looks" right now. I'm still going to open mics and HOPING to get somebody to recognize. I'm still doing ENTRY LEVEL SHIT...and i'm a good 17 years deep in music.....10 years deep in performing.....

.....i'm doing ENTRY LEVEL shit.....

....wiz on MTV....

.....damn...i gotta step up man!

I never hate on Wiz, he is DOPE...and i do appreciate his talent and skill. I think its dope how he puts on for P-city and we got that green light. I always have thought of him as my friendly rival. As in...a GAUGE in which pushes me to go a little harder. I don't have a ROSTRUM RECORDS to back me.....never have...it's just ME.

Me VS. THE WORLD......that's why i fuck wit that Pac album like i do......that's ME yo....

...something has GOT TO GIVE....

....i want to be touring....i want to release a classic mixtape and bring it to the masses....i love MUSIC first and foremost and if it's 2 people listening or 2,000 or 2 million...i'm STILL going to create and LOVE what i'm doing....

....but it would be nice to do this music full time and do this all my life.....

...fuckin' internet...it's like the illest mirror in the world.....

"mirror mirror on the wall....which skinny nigga is dope but not doin it big at ALL....."

You Novi....you.

I'm an ORGANIC MAN. I don't sugar coat. I don't coattail. I don't beg.

If support for me comes...PLEASE BELIEVE...it is genuine support. I really don't expect anybody to come along and pick up NOVA music and make it a worldwide thing that everyone from everywhere can see. I guess I just suspect that what I AM able to create...is very much on par with the best of the best offered today and that it has a place to be showcased and shown.

Now i'm bitchin'.....but who gives a fuck...it's a blog....i got nothin better to do....ha!

Dah' well.......i'll still make a mixtape....i'll still WORK MY ASS OFF to be the best performer in hip-hop history..........i'll still pour my SOUL into these albums.....and i'll still maintain a DOPE online presence......for my NOVATRIBE is me and I am my NOVATRIBE.

I Win Forever, regardless.

Until the fire dies and we outta lighter fluid.

Cup half full.

IT'S CULTURE CRAZY,
