[TraigHarper]

[ImHXCkids]

[SeethingGreen]

Born and raised in Decatur, now a SanDiegoan. You wonder why no one supports local music in Decatur?

Because only 80fucking thousand people live there. You want money and fame? MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, dumbass.

[dnave21]

[tigernike23]

Another thing........if you plan on stayin here, do it for free, get your name out there. You're workin it already with 7,500 views on YouTube, now start uploadin' songs to file sharin' sites. Get out there and hustle...your name is your most profitable thing at this time. Peace

[tigernike23]

Yo, I know what you all mean. I used to be with Brutal Mob before they broke up in 2005, they wouldn't play shit here....but some advice dude....go out of town, like out of state, they will play your shit if its tight. We got radio play down in Phoenix, Arizona, and damn near got signed. You gotta have someone that has connections, otherwise you aint never gonna get out of the D.

[shaolin770]

You dudes got it wrong. You gotta make your own stuff pop and quit waiting on someone else. If you don't, your gonna be 50 years old wondering what happened. I grew up in Decatur and have toured the entire US and bought cars and houses off that money. I had to dig deep and find the champion in myself. Now I live in Vegas in a big home and I live like a movie star daily!!! Life is what you make it. Now, go make something.

[MekaL32]

Where you from, Decatur, IL? I'm from Decatur, what do you do? I live in ATL had to get up out of there. I know you said your an entertainer.

[ShizzleMane312]

Decatur IV Life

[fenderman0463]

You need to drop that rap shit and play the music of your heritage...BLUES!!!...AND ROCK AND ROLL!!!...Do you guys know who to play an instrument or do you rip off other music by sampling???...Also, you need to speak in a clear and concise manner...and drop all the expletives...

[crowdson]

Rap IS the music of his heritage - maybe Blues came first, but Rap is just as valid.

We could have a long debate about what constitutes "ripping off" other artists. Are the Stones (or any rock band) less valid for stealing from the Blues? Does it make it OK if they actually play the instrument even if it's note for note?

"Clear and Consise" - you mean like Bob Dylan?

Also, if you're going to complain about someone using expletives, you probably shouldn't use the word "shit" in your comment.

[fenderman0463]

the Stones may have stole from the blues but they didn't steal the actual recordings...these rappers aren't smart enough to make their own music...

[fenderman0463]

@crowdson the stones didn't rip off the blues...you have no valid point...what rappers do is steal music that was already recorded for other purposes other than a bunch of lazy rappers using it for their purpose...

[MYSILVER4U]

I always thought if you want something better out of life, You made personal change, and went after it,

It seems to me, you got an Idea Decatur of what ever owes you, That sure don't work, You sure got to grow up, Go out and give some free music, and put adds up for people to come, Then if they you can pass a cup, for donations,

[cagedbeast87]

should have called this video "BIG DECATUR-SHIT TALK"

[MiniSkirtMassacre]

Self Improvement motherfucker.

Stop blaming everyone else and put in your fucking weight. Because you CAN. I believe you can and I don't even listen to rap and I left Decatur years ago.

DO IT MOTHERFUCKER.

There is always someone else who will.

"There's a million niggas that got the same feeling that you got"

You gonna put in the work or sit around talking about it?

Best of luck.

[MiniSkirtMassacre]

Be someone in your community that everyone knows and loves (not for name recognition) but to be a better person. You think you're gonna grow as a person by hanging out on Main St talking about how SOMEDAY you're gonna be all ritch and famous without doing any fucking work???

[MiniSkirtMassacre]

Self-Discipline.

Learn it, use it, live it. Stop talking about shit and DO IT.

Get the fuck out of Decatur.

DO SHIT FOR FREE. The better part of being an artist is DOING SHIT FOR FREE TO GET YOUR NAME OUT.

Talking shit about DJs and posting it on Youtube is NOT going to get you played.

[Freedom4u2talk]

Whats sad is you think, The world owes you, get a grip, others worked a lot harded than you to get where they are,, You got a plate full of nothin, cause you don't wanna give up nothing, "wonder where the cam come from"

was that give to you?, See i thought that, because you want you work paid, well it don't work that way,For music,Its a give and give before the seeds grow, quit the BS and hit the road,

[MYFreeSpeach4U]

Right on, find another city! Like D is for dumb,hit the road to Detroit! but it may be to tough 4 U, Quit crying and do the Oz, and I been to N,Y to how about you, Better pack some extra hamburgers,They like 5.bucks

[tfreezee18]

If it's so much easier in other cities, then why don't you go to those other cities? Everybody hates Decatur so much, but ya'll still here.

[MYFreeSpeach4U]

Your real BS, Nothing is free, it hard work to get somewhere, James Brown, ottis Readding, Hits Ville

And i am in detroit, stop preaching the hate card. Go talk to Ken Norton, He won't give you the time of day, and yes decatur is a factory town,

Now you keep sayin gim me gim me, well go to canada, Altana what ever it take to be on the rap chart, you can't sit and wait for it, and blame a red neck town for holding you back,

Like i said hit the road

[trinitrey0306]

[msmika77]

It's broke down alright, but at least BIG D & Ambitious is doing something poisitive around there....Better than back in the day when we were burying all of our friends every other week over stupid stuff....RIP T.J.Lowery, Meechie, Travis Greene, Cobey Cliff, Steve May, 2-Lo & all of the rest of our homies that ain't here to experience the positive things happening in Decatur!!! BIG D, I don't know you, but you keep doin what'cha doin!!! "O" you already know how it is back at home...proud of ya!
