no i feel ya smiley4. i think makes complete sense. to me seems 300 is a lot for a verse, but then again i'm not them, i'm not tryin to put together an album. and ya if was a nobody tryin to get someone on the album for exposure for myself i'd shell out some cash or work hard as hell to get them to post up my track on someones compilation to give little feel for lets say a solo i have ready and lookin to get out on the streets or bartering would i feel be a good tool!
Good thread, Im understanding alot on the real business side than the hussle with everyones opinions. Oso really laid it out for reals. Time N Money.
I know these 2 brothers who jus wanna rake in money with they (flute) music, as they got 10 CDs. We all know a another (flute) artist, N they wanna know why he gets exposure more than them with only 2 CDs out. I keep tellin em he sells himself, makes deals N even has to give CDs away.
I PERSONALY DONT BUY CDS WITH TOO MANY FEATURES. THEN IT JUST STARTS TO SOUND LIKE A COMPILATION. THE BAY AND NOR CAL ALREADY HAD TOO MANY COMPILATIONS.
if i rapped i would charge a burrito* , and a 12 pack of sol
*(said burrito must have guacamole,sour cream,shredded cheese, beans made without manteca,salsa,rice, and specified meat by the duke of earl at the time of consumption)
I JUST HEARD THAT FOOL VINCE FROM GILAZ ENT. ON HIS MYSPACE RAP THAT SM1LEY4 WAS TALKING ABOUT AND ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW..I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHIN..THIS IS BY FAR THE WACKEST PERSON I HAVE EVER HEARD RAP IN MY LIFE..
IF YOU AS AN ARTIST LETS SAY PUT IN AROUND $3,000 INTO A CD RELEASE AND U CANT MAKE THAT MONEY BACK WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS.. YOU SHOULDNT BE IN THIS GAME.. PERIOD! AND THATS JUST GETTIN ON UR HUSTLE THAT DONT INCLUDE DISTRO OR DIGITAL DOWNLOADS.. GIVE IT UP AND KEEP UR MUSIC ON MYSPACE. SOME OF YOU MIGHT GET OFFENDED BY THAT BUT ITS THE TRUTH.
