In a little over an hours time span, Marrio Gardner aka Ben Grimm (of The Grimm Report and Inbox Mag & DVD) went in on Twitter about how the city has turned against Nelly, girly men in St. Louis' entertainmen scene and artists "rapping about how much money they got but when it comes to investing into what they "love" they have have the money" leaving the harshest assessment was for the people around him "And all these people around me that think they know how to rap, produce, promote, etc. and have no general knowledge whatsoever." 

I don't know why people in St. Louis don't look at Nelly how I stated in the Mark Twain quote I just tweeted.

The people in Hip Hop should really take notes from the Asians and Jews. They play their cards right and they stick together.

I also think that rappers and business people are afraid to take risks. I mean... How bad do you really want this shit?

I also observed how some of the men in hip hop entertainment act just like females. Getting confrontational. Fighting over silly shit.

It also bothers me that 95% of the people I'm associated with seem to be in this comfort zone and don't want to progress...

Then there's the gravity rainbow effect that tends to happen to every rap artist where I'm from. Its ri-fucking-diculous.

Then there's all the "meetings" and "conferences" that end with no outcome or results.

I mean there's gotta be somebody out there that feels me. Isn't there too much talking and not enough walking in Hip Hop?

I'm really starting to lose the passion for the entertainment industry. Its just not what it used to be.
