Gloc 9 reps for Binay???

Photo of Gloc 9 performing for a Binay rally.



If Gloc got paid to endorse Binay, it is his choice. He did whats best for himself and his family. Gloc9 as a person doesn't owe the hiphop community an explanation, but this will also show that his legacy of doing songs like "Upuan", "Dapat Tama" and all his advocacies against corrupt government officials takes a back seat.

A person will always contradict himself for as long as he is growing. Whether growing forward or backward is a choice. Here are notes I'm willing to share and would like to get your views. Again, I'm friends with Aries and respect his decision.

1. Post "Limang Kanta Lang" Gloc9 never releases a free song or a song that he can't monetize. So to my surprise sometime last January - he put out Pareho Tayo on Soundcloud. His last few releases has been via YouTube where he is able to monetize hits and views.

2. A dope Gloc 9 song like this never charted on MYX, MTV or if I'm not mistaken even radio. Could not promoting this new single a good move for an independent artist who just spent money on music production and video production. OR could it be that if Binay did take this song that it can't be aired on TV for its media value that will ultimately be audited against Binay's camp?

3. Gloc cannot please everyone, regardless of who he endorses. The country is in one of the most coveted and most controversial elections about to take place. And if Gloc chooses his family over his stand on making songs like "Upuan" and "Dapat Tama", it is his choice ultimately. He has been dropping hints on social media long before this year that all he is doing according to his hashtag is "#ParaSaAnak". A father who can swallow his pride for a better future for his kids -- with rumors of getting paid millions (betwen Gloc and his management) for this Binay campaign, is a good father by design. Will it disappoint some of his fans? Yes. Everything has its time, price and there are opportunities we are trying not to regret down the line.

4. Pareho Tayo has a video online incorporating Binay and his campaign into the song. The song is only circulating online.

5. Buying the song is one thing. Binay can buy the song and if I feel strongly about not supporting him, I will get the money however, I will not perform for the rallies. It is easy to let them buy the song and an easy decision to not perform if I feel strongly against Binay but still want to get paid via making the song.


We hope we are able to shed light or even help you dissect whats happening in front of you. Please feel free to flag me down if there are facts mentioned here that are not true.
