Alright then...
- Thread starter BTruth
- Start date
I have NorthWestRap.com ready to go. But I am babysitting that name for the time being. I am definitely willing to help out on another site though in the mean time.
I will help with Song Lyrics. I have a good 60-70 NW albums and love memorizing and all that shit. I can also help with Video, if anyone wants to put something up. If you'd like me to chop up a performance you did or something like this, I can do that and make it into a downloadable file. I have done this a couple of times before. I've done Album Reviews before, but they aren't really my thing. Interviews, I could offer some good questions/topics, but I don't know that anyone would want to talk to me personally!
As far as names go, I have a few ideas. NorthWest is always good to have in the name, but anything NW-Related would be cool too. The main thing is to not make the name too Seattle or too Portland-sounding. We need Idaho and Eastern Washington on our side.
NWRidaz was a name thrown around a whole back. NorthWestStreets.com and NWStreets.com are both available as we speak.

I think the best thing you can do is MEDIA. Lot's of FOOTAGE of performances, battles, interviews, all that. To get a GOOD site your going to need a street team of some sort or a close-nit group, someone who has some nice cameras and can get lot's of footage, hit up shows VIP and all that, to someone who can write well and document to a few people who can handle the website design and all that, if you guys need graphics or anything once the site gets popping, if it even does, let me know. But I think the most important thing is content, media content, audio is easy to get from artists, but to actually network with them in the city and get some good video is the real deal.
the site should spot light artists in depth, so the public really gets to know the artists. For the public to embrace someone they damn near gotta feel like they know them. believe me I know a couple of cats that have blown up for real. I really think theres a formula that needs to be followed to insure success. Image, Marketing, Management, A&R personnel, Videos, Radio, a bunch of other things. Anyone else care to add anything?

This is true. But if someone were stupid enough to offer me 3-5 G's, then I'd be all for it. The point of the $5,000 figure is that I am not interested in selling for 'any' amount, per se. I've spent too much time thinking and formulating to just scrap everything, and hand it over before it even begins.

Got alot of stuff i'm workin on. Buying both tonight. Haven't fully decided on which to go with.
Here is what I am currently going to need:
1-2 Reviewers. I plan to help with this, I'm fairly nice with writing when I get professional about it, but I will definitly need help backtracking on some albums. Submit some review work you've done and I'll let you join the staff. If you have no previous review work here are some northwest albums I would like reviewed to start the site off, and would help me out alot.
Byrdie - N Flight
Crytical - Crytical Condition
Red Head Steve - Red Rum
Unexpected Arrival - My Life For Sale
Or bassicly any albums from those artists and others including Livio, Grynch, etc etc. Just make sure it's northwest material.
Any show pictures / Video can be emailed to [email protected]. I would also like any information on upcoming shows you guys have.
Who would you guys like to see for the first featured artist? I'm thinking UA, they're running shit.
Also Kalyn, if you could chat with any of the Big-Names in the northwest (I'm pretty sure you have contacts, and since I'm sure you don't just want to hand them over like that lol), could you get in contact with any big names for a site-opening interview?
ANY MATERIAL YOU HAVE that you think I may find useful, please email to me at [email protected]
My AIM is BTroof if you want to talk bout this more real time.

Good shit. But you should definitely buy NorthWestStreets.com too, just in case. If you're vocally telling someone the site, and forget to point out that by "NorthWest" its 'NW' and not 'NorthWest', they might end up at a site that doesn't exist.
I've got a few reviews floating around. I'll try to track them down and forward them to you. Both the people I reviewed for seemed to like them.
