Damn its funny the amount of negative shit we have to say about the advancement of our own kind. SMMFH.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Pecas has been an active part of the hiphop scene for more years of his life then the average negative poster on this board has lived.
But besides that, here we have a brother moving up in a company to a top tier position, a company where the man started out at literally at the bottom doing physical street team promotions and the sort, and for the most part all you crabs got to post is negativity.
I say it’s good to see a brother get this position, he deserves it and it’s nice to see a product of hiphop, someone who has lived and grown with hiphop through all of its manifestations and incarnations serve in a position of power verses some culture vulture mothafucka that doesn’t understand the culture or is a true part of it. Good move for Def Jam.
Peace.
who cares he have been in the label for a min hows this gonna change his position in the lable now anyways?
