Are you NOT entertained? Are you NOT entertained? - Jay-Z..Okay..I don't 'own' most of the pictures on here.....

So if you follow the blog on Twitter and you saw me tweet about 'imitation', allow me to explain it in more than 140 characters.

Again, I tag what I 'own' mostly (which is why you don't see watermarks on 95% of my photos unlike the other 'spots') so it isn't about the CONTENT. I don't own it so I can no more get mad about someone posting it before OR AFTER I DO.

What I CAN get upset about, tweet about or blog about is someone taking an 'idea' that I have IN ITS ENTIRETY, PUTTING IT ON THEIR BLOG LIKE IT IS THEIRS and not even MENTIONING MY NAME. Then HOTLINKING IT BACK TO HERE like it is all gravy. No. I think we all hotlink so THAT BY ITSELF is no biggie to me right now either. It is on GOOGLE @ bandwidth. Not me. But when you couple it with you taking my titles, the pics I put up, hotlinking it and GIVING NO CREDIT? Yeah...I am gonna say something. Put my name in it. That's all. Even if you say 'Fuck that ni....'...I'll take that. Having your readership thinking that you 'coined' the terms and such though is really bitchmade.

The next one i'll switch up
This one will get bit up
These fucks
To lazy to make up shit
They crazy
They don't...paint pictures
They just trace me
You know what
Soon they forget who they plucked
They whole style from
And try to reverse the outcome
I'm like...

And I don't have to @ HIM OR DAP 'EM 'cause he FOLLOWS THE BLOG. He comes here a lot. He will see it and KNOW IT IS ALL ABOUT HIM....I see him when he comes. Should block him but fuck it tho..This is what I am talking about @ those of you asking...

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
