Maino Does A Sequel To “Tell Em Why You Mad Son”

In this edition of Tell Em Why You Mad, Maino compares himself to Jay-Z, T.I., and Lil Wayne.

“If it all ended today, I exceeded all expectations put on my life,” he wrote via a blog entry. “For me to have lived the way I lived and make a career out of it to get to the point to be able to put out an album. It’s hard just to get to that point. That’s a success story in itself…We living in a time when records are not selling like they used. First and foremost, everybody looks at Jay Z, TI and Lil Wayne and say that’s what they want. Everyone has to understand that Jay Z didn’t blow up off his first album..he wasn’t the Jay Z as we know him….neither was TI. All these people, put they work in…they dropped albums and they kept going and going and built they fanbase that way. Look at 2pac…look at most successful artists. What you don’t get on the first one..you keep growing, build your core and keep going. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

For real I hope homie gets his chance to blow. I wish that for most
Emcee’s. That Million Bucks joint is hot.
