A RANDOM QUESTION "MUSIC TOPIC"

[SMILEY LOCZTERO]

I WENT LAST NIGHT TO THE STORE AND THERE WAS SOME GUYS SELLING SOME CD'S IN THE PARKING LOT AND THEY HAD SOME POOR CD COVERS AND THEY WERE USING SOME CHEAP CASES AS WELL.. ILL POST THE PIC OF THE CD LATER, IT SLAPS N EVERYTHING BUT THE QUESTION IS IF SOME PEOPLE ARE SELLING CD'S N YOU NEVER HEARD OF EM,WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU LOOK FOR ON A CD BEFORE YOU BUY IT..? BECAUSE THE WAY ONE OF EM SAID IT WAS LIKE THEY DIDNT CARE HOW SHITTY THEIR CDS LOOKED AS LONG AS THEY GET BOUGHT N BUMPED....ITS JUST A RANDOM QUESTION RELATED TO MUSIC..

Presentable Product and pro sound (mixed and mastered). Woodie's work was pro pressed and the graphics were on point. The only homeboys I listen to are East Co Co, Big Oso, and Lil Coner because they always seemed to have a professional way of doing things. No computer mic bs

personally i like to see a quality product,even though it has nothing to do with the music.the package is what catches the eye first.having a legit looking product also makes you look like you take this busniess serously.just my 4 cents....

 

[SMOKIELOCS]

good topic by the way....

 

[siccmadesyko]

fuck buyin a cd-r disc in a jewel case that was jus printed at home. i think if you put time and energy into making your music take a little more time and effort to make your cd presentable.

 

[SMILEY LOCZTERO]

it wasnt on jewl case it was on some sorta case that looks like that nintendo ds case type shit..the music was decent couple beats slapped,but you guys are right tho they should make the cd more presentable..i always believed that you gotta spend money to make money,

I'd rather have good music then good appearance from an album. I'm not buying the album to look at it, I'm buying it to listen to it. To me, a cover doesn't define the music, today you see alot of albums that have a good appearance but the content inside isn't good at all.

I FEEL YOU BUT HOW MANY OF THE SUBPAR LOOKING CDS ACTUALLY GET LISTENED 2.A GOOD PACKAGE HELPS.THE MUSIC IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THOUGH.

 

[CHINO]

Yes a good package does help, I agree but sometimes that's not the most important thing because good music promotes itself much more.

they were having trouble selling em to be honest cuz people would look at the cd front and back and say na its koo..because of the artwork cover..i bought it gave it a listen and learned from another man's mistake,what not to do on certain things..i gave them my thoughts on the cover work,and cd label..gave em that 408inc.com link to check out their prices n what not..but as soon as i find my cam ill take a picture of this whole cd and put it up for upload so you guys can kinda peep the material

 

[SMOKIELOCS]

I HAVE RUN INTO SOME SICK ASS MUSIC,BUT THE ART WORK WAS LACKING LIKE A MOFO.PERFECT EXAMPLE IS THE DOWN BY THE BOWL MIXTAPE BY LIL TECK N YANTZ.I WAS TRIPPEN WHEN ANGEL IN SALINAS TOLD ME THAT CD WAS SELLIN FOR 10.00 BUT THE COVER WAS LACKING.I BOUGHT IT AND WAS SUPRISED.THE CD IS DOPE....

 

[SMILEY LOCZTERO]

^^ yea they stepped up alot on the 2nd cover artwork for part 2... we all start off somewhere tho,i just wanted to know what homies around here thought bout situations like this,like last month i had some dudes try to sell me a cd for 15.oo i told em i didnt have the cash,so they gave it to me the reason why it was so much cuz they had lil wayne,rick ross,drake,zero,paul wall.. i was kinda raised a eyebrow when i got to my car i popped it in and the verses those guy had of the rappers were downloaded from the net..lol so they were selling wolf tickets with their cd's a buy 1 get one free type a deal.. when they were telling everyone they were exclusive verses..

 

[huelgabird408]

I usually look at the features(if there are any) & usually go from there. I usually don't buy newer artists' CDs unless someone recommends it. I would of asked if they had an open case & listen to a couple of tracks, if not I would of just said no thanks.

 

[SMILEY LOCZTERO]

i think features help alot with esp. with upcomming artists..like example i heard this song wit tito b and mr.west that song slaps..

i dont like anything after 2000 whole scene went to hell

 

[707north]

^^^^^^ To me Homeboy music kind of has that 90's sound. That Mobb Shit.

 

[Mr G]

i just ask about the beatz? is it a "mixtape"? industry or soundclick? LOL

im allways trying to hear somethin new thats Tight, but i wont purchase if it dont have any worth to me. And a nice case wouldnt seal the deal....but a wack one might get easily bought cuz only word of mouth from people with my same tastes..(and.... maybe.... sometimes cuz of impressive featurez) is getting my Dinero...

but whatz funny is when foolz stop you tryna beg you to copp their cdr for 4- 5 buckz
like "here preview it on my headphones"...

gtfo..!
