You Know You Spend Too Much Time On Streethop When
- Thread starter Shadows
- Start date
I've never asked ANYONE to sign up on here apart from Caesar for obvious reasons. But if you're on a particular site a lot, and you got a monthly service bill to pay, and it is your homepage on your computer, those around you get curious and come through and sign up like "hey I just joined your site!" And then if those people want to keep tabs on you or just be involved in what you do and be involved in your interests, they become active.
And then of course when those people arent in your life anymore and you were the main reason they weren't on here, they leave.
My rap partner/producer BleezyBlaze is on here too but doesnt post, just browses, he doesnt get down on the whole message board thing. My girlfriend simply doesnt give a fuck because she's not really an internet person past her email and shit like that. The Outlawz are on here too but they just read the news and shit.
Id fucking hate to have people close to me on here, this is my online refuge, last thing I want is my girl posting on here. How corny is that? Side by side in bed, laptop each, both talking in the same thread? Super lame, but then sometimes you cant stop people doing what they want.
I love streethop, but Streethop is one thing, my career is another thing, and my life is another thing. I need borders and boundries. And to be honest as sad as it is, I dont even view this site as being mine anymore. Im handling some business behind the scenes that is more music related, but Im not on here day to day anymore. I'll probably be more active in the coming months from next month onwards, but it will just be for fun.
As for the topic of this page, you know you've been on StreetHop.com too much when a) you make assumptions about other members like you actually know them, and b) it starts to intefere with your career (which is what started to happen to me).

Just time wise. Everytime Id go into a studio that had the internet Id be like "hold on let me check Our Block."
You have to understand, I dont work, and havent for years, yet live a pretty well off life. I need to concentrate on making money, as cliche as it sounds, it is a hustle, and when you are like that shit happens 24/7. When I started thinking about me and furthering my hustle and life, the issues of the board were just pushed to the back.
I mean the last "job" I had, Blaze and I ran a nightclub. How am I going to worry about who Im banning from here if I have to think about who to let into a nightclub?
How am I going to worry about moving threads when Im too busy touring and making music?
How am I going to worry about creating new forums when Im busy buying new houses?
I cant think about everything at once, and I made a choice to step away. Which albiet was a tough choice to make because I do love the board and what it represents and do like you guys a lot. If you remember before Caesar took over the board and site wasnt really updated because I didnt have time, but when Caesar agreed to take over I knew I was leaving it in capable hands, and he is still cool enough to run things by me (like for example I know carmi will be mod soon in here) even though he doesnt need to.
It was either one or the other, I chose the other, and think things are working out pretty good. Had I kept doing both at once both would have suffered equally.
So yeah, that is the backstory you're all filled in now.

Thats good and bad.
Good b/c you wouldn't be a sellout if u became more popular than HUGE artist.
Bad b/c it seemed like it may have held you down a bit. But in all I respect that you did a great decision in leaving Caesar in charge so u can still do your shit.
Nice Story.
Oh, sorry if you felt insulted by a few members with the aka Caesar thing, i just found it funny.
63. You procrastinate your HW to be on this site.
