2010..the year of PUR Entertainment

2009 business wise has been a very trying year for not just Pur Entertainment, but alot of businesses in the Baltimore area. From clubs closing down, artists struggling to make that $5 off a cd, events getting canceled and money not even flowing like it use to....its been rough. I know from personal life experience and business...things dont always go as planned. I can testify that just this past year with the struggles in my personally life, the let-downs in my business life, the backstabbing, the lies, the smiles in the face but whispers behind my back, the new enemies I've made, the friends and business partners Ive lost....2010 is about to be on and poppin. Now unlike most people who sit there and talk about how in 2010 THEY are going to do this and THEY are going to do that and THEY are gonna change their life, I am taking a different approach to my life. I personally feel as though God has blessed me with a different mind frame this time around.I use to be one of the selfish individuals out there. I was always more about Erin than I would be about anyone else except my kids. 2010 is a year of Sharing and Caring. Now please dont take all this for granted or that ole E is bout to allow herself to get f***ked over. But I have met some amazing people this past year that really only need that extra fan at their show,that extra person to support them, that extra vote for their song. And I am making a promise to be that extra person. I am dedicating myself fully to my business...no side stepping this year for E. If I say I AM GOING TO DO IT...I AM GOING TO DO IT. I think there are to many people in this business that are friends with individuals....get on collabos with them...do a partnership on a event...do a show....but the only thing that is on their mind is self-improvement and not helping improve the situation. And ladies and gentlemen...the situation is that Baltimore does not support Baltimore at all. Hell take a vote of how many people are Ravens fans and who aren't. I promise you will be shocked. How many people say that they are MullyMan, Bossman, Skarr Akbar, Ogun, Only, Spitters Club, Savage's "homie", "best friend" or say "I f***ks wit them"....but never shows up to their shows, buys a CD or when they have the opportunity to say something positive say something negative. I have literally been in a room with someone who is very close to me in the business...had a "hood star" artist walk in the same room...acknowledge both of us...have my friend act as if they were their blood siblings...have them walk away...and my friend turn to me and say "Man, that dude is whack as hell. Straight garbage!" SMH. With support comes criticism...CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. I swear, I know that I cannot change how people make their music, rap style, lyrics, looks etc...but I can lend my support and opinion to help build them into something great..build them into something extraordinarily perfect! Us hip-hoppers in Baltimore need to stop with the negativity, stop with the beefing over dumbness and start bonding not just on a business level but also on a human level..on a friend level. You cant do business with someone you cannot trust...PERIOD. But like I was saying before, 2010 you all will see more of E out and about at peoples shows and events, on peoples shows, and helping in any way possible. No I am not doing this for money..no I am not doing this for fame. Say its in my Libra nature just to be a helpful person. Oh...and just in advance "YOUR WELCOME" :)
