Aright.... First off i wanna say i am not an VET in this shit.... FAR FROM IT.
Honestly i'm a young cat who has only been doin this rap shit serious for a couple years. BUT i have to give a lil advice to certain folx that are younger/newer than me to this shit.,
First off TAKE YOUR TIME. I can name at least 10 kats on the siccness that are under 16 and are talking about putting out their own album on their own record label. PACE YOURSELVES.
Before you worry about "putting an album out", worry about getting you style PERFECTED and making it YOUR OWN. Its okay to bite a lil bit off you favorite rapper at first.... but eventually you want to create your own style that is unique. So when people hear it they know its you. Also take your time and create good songs with good lyrics.
AS FAR AS FEATURES GO..... DONT PUT UP "MAYBE ARTISTS". Just because you talked to someone on a pm in the siccness forum doesn't mean he is going to be on your album!!!! Recently someone (you know who you are) put my name on his FEATURE list. This cat emailed me a year ago asking how much a verse and a beat would be. Just becasue i gave you a qoute DOESN'T mean that I'm going to be on it. Now that is called FALSE ADVERTISING. Putting a buncha big names in your sig/flyer/website to make yourself look legit is PERPETRATIN!
Also if you download a beat that doesn't mean it is yours. YOU CAN AND WILL GET SUED IF YOU ARE AT ALL SUCCESSFULL.
Well this internet rapper shit just started getting on my nerves so if this applies to you take the advice. And if you take any of this personal check yourself.
