Re: Whitney Peyton's gathering announcement and slated track on Clay's new mixtape.

Ahem.

First, a true story:

I first met Ms. Peyton on Myspace. We were both femcess from the Philly area. She got my number, called me, and invited me to “her show.”

…Turns out it was an open mike. I laughed at that one.

So I signed up to do my own set. Why not?

When I got there, she acted so strange. “Oh who are you? OH one of my fans from the internet! Thank you for coming!” She seemed to use every chance she had to take a jab at a fellow artist and ego boost. Rappers, right?

But it was like one of those bizaar world scenarios. If you want to be a star, act like you already are one. And that's the game the girl was playing. It was weird. Especially in the world of hip hop.

It became clear we were from two different worlds.

At the time, I was working with old school producer DJ Pham–hip hop originator from NYC in the 80s. We were friends just kicking it in our neighborhood in northeast Philly, making tracks. Doing our thing. I was busy working, going to school, dealing with a foreclosure and helping a sick family member. My music was my outlet. JUST for fun.

And here was this young lady straight off the preteen model circuit, plugging away at MySpace with what must have been tons of free time. Whitney came from a rich family, had an agent from a very young age, and somewhere in the background, some stage mom or stage dad in the wings paying her ticket to fame. And now she's going by the name “underdog.” (With a talent scout and SOMEbody paying for those prepubescent glamour shots, holding up the American flag.) And I respect her as a fellow female artist. Her music has gotten a LOT better. But…Is she really the voice we need in the juggalo world?

Because, to me, Psychopathic Records is the epitome of self-made success. Anybody with a stage mom or child-acting career really has no place in the mix. Hopsin included.

Real recognize real.

Look: If you were on the Disney channel or making movie cameos as a child star, you need to take that to MTV and your Grammy Award shows. And the Philly Mayor's anti-littering campaign or whatever. Not that you even live in the city or know anything about that. Which is fine.

It's very important to me that we move women into the spotlight in the juggalo/underground scene. Absolutely. But it's gotta come from the right place.

All I'm saying is…Where is Molly Gruesome? Kid's got heart and no talent scout. That's my challenge to Psychopathic and all y'all.

Thanks for reading.
