u have different stages of ratings u give to artist.......
1.Iron Baloon-ur failure to get a hit song....u suffer from the lyndo syndrome....its call the doza medicine virus at this stage u dont even make it to a cd or a stage show....u lack an potential....ur mixtapes go in the bin
2.one hit wonder-u get a lucky break...a one tune deh a road...it get airplay....ur name gets call....u get one or two stage show....but yet still u may struggle to find the melody or the right key to make a next hit....and it becomes more stressing than b4
3.Yu have a likkle hype-U got two, three more songs on the road....ur name gets call more...ur trying to be consistent in the lime light...ur getting some more small shows...u may even be in opening acts for sting and u can call for sum small island shows..u have a hype with a one video.however the stress to climb to the top begins here
4.yuh ting a shot!!-this is when u start to see the peak of the mountain...its there...but still a bit far...ur on some top producers riddims, yu get some collabs wid di top names in dancehall. ur on sumfest,sting, gt taylor...ur name is bieng called more on the radio, u get bookings for overseas shows....ur seen as a promising act for the future
5.yuh a di boss-this is where locally ur seen as a major act, if ur not on a riddim. the riddim naah shot, ur on every shows, ur fully booked locally and overseas, ur called for several media interviews....sponsors are at ur doorsteps...u have local and overseas managements...johnny wonder actually listens ur music and kisses ur ass.....u are on the path to greatest
6.ICon-You are the best of the best.....ur seen as a legend....probably not to all the elders...but ur there...u call the shots, u have ur recording label, u bring several artist to stardom, u make ur own price, u are ur own man, controversy follows u, they need u to make several donations to institutions, tax ppl start pree u hard like some whoring gyal....the ppl see u as a ambassador to the country....ur living a pop star life
7.legend-this is the point where ppl praise u because u kick the bucket.....they give u the all time praise....that they were afraid to give u when u were alive,they do greatest hits albums, overseas companies want to buy your publishing....u actually get a grammy for ur work....they wudnt have given u when u were alive...but u got it when ur 6 feet deep.....johnny wonder actually praises u for bieng the best(pssh)....my fren u have done it all....
