Did Soulja Boy Kill Music and Introduce Social Media?


Back in the mid 2000's, if you were on the web, then you were on Myspace. Everyone in the whole world was watching Soulja Boy and was waiting on him to blow. Everyone I know had multiple songs streaming on their Myspace page.

This was the true beginning on how music was going to be discovered. At that moment when Soulja Boy hit the big screen, CD's in stores began to slow down as well as CD distribution.

It’s already been said that Soulja Boy was responsible for sparking that shift, and one could label him the very first Internet rap star.

Gansta Marcus Talks His Lifestyle, Young Talent, And More

The musical artist Gansta-Marcus has lived a hell of a life throughout the years. He has been through more things than most can imagine. From his brother being stabbed multiple times to owning homes. Through all the rain and the pain, he still manages to keep a smile on his face.

He has been in the underground music industry since 2010. He started off by searching for young talent within his city of Lima, which led him to start producing himself. Since growing up to be a man, Marcus has had many children between two women.

Gansta Marcus has always believed in empowerment of our youth. He teach's the youth around him that, (In His Own Words) "Its okay to hustle, but have a job while rapping about your life. Selling drugs in not the only way to make money in the streets, you can sell cd's, scrap, learn to fix electronics and sell them."

After being there with him one-on-one, I also come to notice that he teach's them to be creative in making music, learn to record in the studio they build. I like the concept, make his whole city reach out to shine. I invite all readers, writers, and bloggers to learn more of the person they call Gansta-Marcus. You are welcomed to click on the link below to bing or google the Lima, Ohio artist.

Gansta Marcus claims that he is going to be release another various artist album by April of 2016. He say's that he have tracks stacked up steaming from 2010 till today. So be sure to follow the artist online as new content gets ready to hit the music community.

When asked how does he feel about the rap game today, he responded: "The rap game has become very diverse over the years. Went went from Tupac and Biggie to Master P and Cash Money. After that, it went into a new form of music created by DMX and Ja-Rule."

"The rap game kept changing. It created a platform for artist such as Beyonce and Nelly. The list just keeps going with artist that took off such as Soulja Boy and D4L. Now we are in a section on the community of music where gays and the LGBT communities are taking over. Young Thug and more are hitting harder than most could imagine.

Eminem Is Rap God Not Rap King


Gucci Mane got things twisted up. Eminem did not say he was the king of rap to let things be known. He is the Rap God of music and it is what it is.

Eminem is an all-time great rapper. Known as the Rap God, he can freestyle some killer verses on the spot.

When it comes to being the "King of Rap" Atlanta Hip-Hop favorite Gucci Mane thinks Eminem doesn't deserve to be in the conversation. Instead, The Wrap-Up Magazine thinks that the God of Rap deserves a spot for the work that has been put in.

Not only was it easy to press a button to hit millions of followers in hours, Eminem sold records that almost put him at levels of Kid Rock. The movie "8 Mile" also set a major stepping stone for Eminem after the grand debut of "Marshall Mathers LP"

Did Benny The Butcher Bring Real Rap Back

 

Every since rapper Nas did the album Hip Hop Is Dead that's when you saw hip hop/rap became more dumbed down than ever with more lack of commercial raps on the media or on radio stations, at the time real rap was unheard of unless if you was really a hip hop head that was looking for rap on mixtapes or searching on YouTube. In 2010 an empire of hip hop has begun and that's with Griselda Records with artists like Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine and Benny The Butcher.
When you hear songs like Legend, Forever Ft Lil Wayne and Big Sean, Roy Jones Ft Dark Lo,
and Crown For Kings Ft Black Thought.

Turning Nothing Into Something

Lima, Ohio musical artist Gansta Marcus released a statement with TWUM about the art of rap and his new music incentives. A music incentive can make the difference between an interested student and one that isn't.

Gansta-Marcus has been on the underground music scene for some time now. in his own words "I like being in the underground eye, it still brought me national attention to my music. No shows or videos but still putting up local plays without all the promotion."

"The thing that motivates or encourages me to keep pushing is having the enjoyment that people out there are willing to bing me and listen to music and like it. In hopes that one day I can pull off a big check, I plan to invest in depressed areas around the community."

DMX or Jay-Z


DMX doubles down on wanting to go against JAY-Z in a Verzuz battle. “It's a celebration. We're celebrating music,” DMX said.

In the late '90s, Jay-Z and DMX were Def Jam's most successful stars. The friendly rivalry includes several rap battles between the legendary MCs, including their Backstage Freestyle match in 2000. In 1999, they also created the infamous supergroup Murder Inc, which starred both rappers and Ja Rule.

Before DMX and Jay Z became international rap titans, they competed in a classic hip-hop war. Their Bronx battle in the early '90s is the stuff of legends and it's also what sparked their ongoing beef, according to Irv Gotti.
