RE: OUTTA HAND
me charging too much? in my opinion i ain't charging enough. matter of fact, according to the industry i ain't charging enough. for those that have the perception what i do is easy, it ain't. i'm not trying to use the same patterns or rhymes that i did 2 years ago (how many !#@#!!$$@% times did 'pac rhyme 'enemy' w/ 'hennesy?') we don't just sit around & rattle off verses like it ain't work. regardless, let's look at the economics of it: there are people out there who will pick up a cd if they see lynch's or my name on the cd. those people, when they buy the cd, have freinds who may or may not be into myself or lynch or zagg but who might like the artist who's cd it is. they buy a few cds. geuss what? they got friends, too. you sell, say, only 500 cds at about $8 a pop & you've made about $4000. if you sell 500, you got good product & can double that. your investment into buying a verse from me or siccmade is easily covered. it's ALLLLLLLL about exposure. & featuring me or any other established artists who got a following will get you record sales. those that buy a verse & don't hustle it, well shit i ain't nobody's babysitter.
but i hear folks say they got so-&-so for 500. aight, then. that's what they charge, that's what they are worth. my asking price is a fraction of what i'm worth.
also consider what's hot. when an artist blows up & starts doing feature's everywhere we tend to get sick of hearing from em. right now that's not the case w/ me. i'm not over-exposed & i got murder for cheap. now's the time to get at me before my price goes up which, in 2004, mark my words it will. 'nuff said.
