Should of used Gervinho not Dinho
personally i dont care about his head shape but have you ever seen neyo without a hat or ronaldinho without his headband ?
cant be in the entertainment industry and all everyone talks about is your head shape, covering it up is simple marketing
pmsl
I think chipmunks problem is he hasn't progressed as an artist much over the years to the point where his level is the norm now rather than when he first blew and was a couple steps ahead of the average mc/rapper.
A lot of you are overlooking that Chip had leverage, he got a million to make an album ffs... It sadly didn't sell.
His mistake was not getting a longer-term leverage and not finding T.I. while he had worldwide distribution, cos even a T.I. co-sign ain't getting him that.
Well that's pretty much why I was saying
nah guy needs to f*ck off
had so many chances to blow already.

he is a platinum artist already
thing with uk market is the way the songs that chart are its an easy formula where any d*ck who can muster 8-16 bars can "blow" all you need is a dnb/dubstep/dance beat + vocalist on 75% of the track singing something catchy and then your dead out radio friendly repeatable in a club bars for your little 1 verse and it can be an easy chart hit
no longevity in the game over here as labels trade these rappers like slaves, you got no leverage with labels either as they know they can bring in someone cheaper with more of a street buzz then you because you have been doing tours instead of sbtv freestyles
then when you try comeback people are indifferent to you because you was a chart guy but now you're a underground guy
basically you cant sell out half heartedly you either stay hood and try make a little niche for yourself and make money working hard touring with your little but strong fanbase or you go all out on a tiny tempah ting
if guys like chip, stryder, dappy, wretch etc... were doing the numbers they were doing in us/mainland europe then they would be set for life and officially made it
now guys are lucky to be able to able to buy a nice house and car with there little bit of shine

1 thing about chip tho is that he needs to cover his head, keep it under a hat.... can't believe no one has advised him to do that after all these years

It's true, if you're gonna sell out in the UK doing it half heartedly is not wise.
The one outlier in this is Wiley who over the years has paid his dues to the point where he can flit in and out of the underground without damaging his reputation.

Powerful post but the end bit flopped. Stop watching a next man's head - the game ain't that deep.
The slave stuff is real. A field nigger who gets promoted to house nigger can't hit the field like it's all bless...The stuff about artists not having leverage is bang on.
In fact that entire slave analogy fits perfectly. Artists always act like we don't know what their life is like...well the industry - the house - is fairly transparent thanks to the media. We know who goes bankrupt, who gets dropped etc.
Apply the analogy to Mike GLC. Field nigger gets cosy with the white girl from the big house. Subsequently gets burned and dropped by the white chick, comes back to the field trying to act like he was always a field nigger and nothing happened.

T.I. is a flop artist who takes too much mandy. His post-prison persona is laughable, can't take him seriously at all.
The faux-intellectual way he talks grinds my gears.
Plus the way he d*ckrides Iggy like she isn't any wack white chick with implants.
