And you say you love me...

So you say you love me, right? You say you wouldn’t know what to do with yourself if I was taken away from you, right? So really, how deep is your love for me? How passionate are you? Do you think of me when you’re going to sleep? Do you share your love for me with others? Do you stand up for me when I am being ridiculed and criticized? Do you know my history? For once, I wish you could show some respect and ask about me so that you can be up-to-date. So really, tell me, how deep is your love for me? You say you love me unconditionally yet I don’t be seeing you for weeks, sometimes months, most importantly, you don’t even show up to support me. The only time I get see you, is when you’re getting your shine on, why is it like that? Is that what you call true love? Tell me this, are you doing this because you love me or you’re doing it because of what may come out of it? Truthfully, I don’t really think you love me. When you really love something you have to support it as much as you can and not just when it’s convenient for you. It’s a sacrifice on both ends.

So to all my Creole Hip Hop artists, do you really love the movement? If you say you do, then why not show it sometimes. Why must you only show up to a show when you’re performing and after your performance is done, you pay no mind to the others. Where’s the love? Creole Hip Hop is only going to make it if we first support each other, without that, we have nothing.

Yes, I am talking to you fam. You so call yourself a Creole Hip Hop head yet I haven’t seen you at the shows where you weren’t performing. I am not asking you to go out of your way to make it to the shows but at least once, just show some respect and some appreciation for your fellow Creole Hip Hop MC’s. You’re jealous of the New Yorkers but why do you think they’re so close? Why do you think they stay back even after their own performance? Why do you think they know each other’s songs and lyrics?

I am not telling you to emulate the NY rappers, but just for once, imagine what we all can do collectively, if we showed some love for not just our fellow MC’s but for the movement.
