Title: So Swiperboy is done rapping..

I'll go ahead and say I don't know what he's been through or really much about his story, I unfollowed him on Twitter a while ago... but the whole "I'm too talented to be so under appreciated/Y'all will miss me when I'm gone" is just a bit too dramatic for my taste.  :violin:

I liked this line in particular..  "When I tweet a song, or ask my followers to retweet it...and I only have, say, 50 people do it...when I have over 10K + followers...It shows that there is a lack of appreciation for my music and that people are taking it for granted."

I guess there are artists in every genre who think they're good enough to be successful while being above the way the music industry game is played, but I imagine that's a tough nut to crack.  I guess I always just figured music was his future.

He's pretty talented IMO but he's being a little bit of a drama queen.

He's very talented as a musician..  He just needs to drop the entitlement complex.

I don't know if he has a career in the hip hop music business or not, but personally I would be happy to see him spend a little less time on music and a lot more time on basketball.  He needs to be productive on the court this year.  It would be nice to get something from the four year investment of his scholarship.

Well said 101, thusfar in his time with the Vols he's played like a walk on except for the Kansas win.

I do think he has talent, but agree with wpd, he needs to play some ball. Maybe his last year will be his best
