Erupt's Intervention.

I think it's time we all step in now. This type of behavior is not healthy for Erupt, or those around him. The likelihood of making a comfortable, or even survivable living off of music alone is less than 1%. One out of every six million people make it into the "Music industry" every year. There are less than 400 applicable jobs as a musician in the "Big Leagues" every year. The odds against your success are staggering, increasingly so with the average level of talent you've shown thus far musically. I think to help him, we should all give him what has been coined as a compliment sandwich. We should all say something nice, followed by the enforcing of the reality of his situation, then close with another compliment. I'll begin.

Erupt, you're a funny guy. You've helped to make many people on the forums laugh, and enjoy themselves.

You're ABSOLUTELY delusional if you foresee yourself pursuing any sort of living in the music business. You're not on that level, and it's doubtful that you ever will be.

You've helped to further the advancement of the site with your contributions to the topical lounge.

Erupt ...my child.... Although there aren't many openings in the music industry for you, you're great at hiding behind webcams and your success in Topical league star-war-shakespearian-warcraftesque fantasy stories is a testament to how much of a wizard you are with Microsoft Word at your disposal.

I heard a new Mavis Beacon is under development..the Hip-Hop version where you play as Rev Run getting his words per minute up on his Black Berry... or you can play as Russel Simmons writing angry letters to employees and rappers from his office. All guaranteed to step your words per minute up B

Hope this helps

Dear Erupt.

Your rly white. And a bitter crying faggot who cant even man up to his own bets.

Clear eyes might help with some of the dryness and swelling of the eys after you row yourself away from the computer desk....

You all need to fall back, yeah the chances of any of us making a living from rap are minimal, but who are we to tell him not to try? Fuck it, it's none of our business what he wants to do, if he doesn't try he'll never know, and neither will any of us.

BLNK you said you wanted to get into live battling, that's just a step further from the battle side of the site, so it's not THAT different from Erupt wanting to go get a deal. Take that Conceited vs Tzu Surf battle we were discussing on IM yesterday, one of the most anticipated battles of the year and Con used to be a member on LB, now he makes a living from battling and music and is recognised worldwide.

I think he should go for it, if he fails then what pleasure does that give anyone else? So people can say "I told you that you'd fail" and who really cares or wants to say that, what self satisfaction does that REALLY give? So we may as well either leave him to it and not make fun of him, or just support him. Personally I don't see any harm to anybody in wishing him luck and leaving it at that.

I also didn't say or imply I was going to be the next big thing in battling, or that I planned to make a career of it.
