LMFAO...... DO WHAT YOU DO CUZO! BUT THE COST OF THE PLANE TICKET TO GET IN THE VIDEO COULD HAVE BEEN USED ON SOME PROMO CD'S OR ADVERTISEMENTS AND THEN YOU WOULD BE HEARD AND SEEN WAY BETTER AND WOULD GET ALL THE CREDIT FOR THAT! I WOULD WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE'S GOT LYRICALY, NOT SEE HIM IN SOMEONES VIDEO THAT I DONT REALLY LISTEN TO ANYWAY. DO YOU THINK ANY ONE IN TEXAS or NEW YORK IS LIKE "LOOK THERE GOES THAT DUDE C-LIM IN FLIPS VIDEO". NO , SO IF I WAS C-LIM I WOULD PUT MORE EFFORT INTO EXSPOSING ME IN MY "REGION" FIRST. BUT WHO KNOWS, MABY HE WAS JUST IN THE NIEBORHOOD AND STOPPED BY. BUT DO THE MATH .2 seconds of TV PLAY or 5000 FLYERS & A MAG ADD?
JUST MY 2cents
INDECENT the SLAPMASTER
you have a fair point. and you are right toward the end of your post. It was shot in L.A. so there is really no big cost to getting there. 5000 flyers and a Mag ad would cost more. LOL, Lim and Flip are cool so it was nothin. and you can see lims profile and the dreads, his hat etc....
What your not getting though is why he did it:
1. you build a film (Video) resume when submitting your past work to Distro., record labels, potential rappers looking for features, and parts in movies.
2. these types of people want to see how you look on film. LOL yeah it was 0.02 seconds but there is a button called a pause button they can press and see what they need to see.
3. you also hit more people on t.v. then you do with flyers and a Mag ad all done with no work in handing out the flyers too. A video is also free to people and mags are not.
4. But if your really bent on flyers witch worked 10 years ago and now dont work for shit you can put on the flyer the link to the video your in too make you look even more solid and creditable to a potential fan or new fan.
in other words your advice to lim was just that (advice)! but in these days you need to be more inventive of yourself then 5k flyers and a mag ad. and everyone knows T.V. is where its at especially if it has rotation on BET, MTV. Come on its a no brainer.
