Nope, this guy is one of those emcees that if you are a hip-hop head you love him. But if you don't then you would not have heard of him.

Rick Ross, Busta are way more high profile than this guy. Of course I guess he has had a few MTV hits, but hmmm. Now that I look it up the dude has has quit a few songs in the billboard top 200.

True, but you gotta understand that dp is excited about it, anyone would be... hell I'm excited for him. This is a big move that could lead to even bigger things. The music WILL speak for itself but in the time being...have fun with the possibilities. =)

ok here is an update. Paid the dude his money, got the verses/hook back and they SUCK! I am totally bummed. WOW

I sent them over to Dac to see if I was nuts, and he agreed with my feelings.

SO yes, Chris Scheidies is about to tell a very well known emcee that his flow is not good enough for a Drunk Pedestrians record. Can I just have the balls of steel award right now??

For real, what a bunch of crap. So see, I will even cut a high end emcee from a record if he doesn't preform!

WOW, seriously I am pretty bummed right now.

I would definitely start out with something like..."I've got unsigned street cats that are spitting more fire, are you sure you want to go in as an unfeatured track?" But yeah, it's confirmed...dude disappointed.

f*k that, put it out. Any Artist worth his weight already knows not to put out garbage, especially if he has a name already.

Edit: Ask him to redo it first. Tell'em, its "not up to his known potential"

I need to resolve this first before I spill. I don't want to ruin someones rep before giving him a second chance. But if I get nothing back I will spill soon!

Does the individual seem cool to approach like that, or do you think he may take it personal and say "Eff it you have your verse and hook"?

it's good business to ask.
If you were droppin a track with ya crew and somebody came weak as fuck you would stop the session. right?
so hows this different?
seems like a respect thing. If you handle it well, I see it as only being beneficial to your next moves with dude...
