I always want the cd's so abstract and different from the norm I have developed strange ways of shopping for a cd...
Artist Name - You can tell alot about a person by wut they call themselves...How they title themthelf to the world...
Covers, first thing you see...
I look for the most creative, twisted, detailed in depth cover with out any bling bling shit, prefferably with out the artist posing on like hard ass thug. I have good lucc with this guess and choose method...
Features - Most Important to me...
I hate features, there met for comps, group projects, videos ect...Not a person solo project...I like artist so confident with his music and his message he hold down SOLO on his own shit with maybe feature or 2 on a tracc or 2, but they feature some he affiliated with, a creww member or long time affiliate, Basically some one who dont charge you for a chance to be on your shit. Some one get on my solo project they have to pay me and they better show me up with his verse...Esham taught me the importance of you being the main actraction to your album not a feature paid off artist, just my view for a SOLO album...
Number of songs...and titles of them
I think 15 tracc albums are out...You know wut you kinda music get on those 15 traccs? Intro - 13 songs of verse chorus verse chorus verse chorus - then fucc the haters outro? am I right? I love an EP, that slumps the whole way through all 8 songs or wutever the whole lp that makes me bounce from song to song. But cds with like 20 or more traccs i find to have more songs that have individuality rather then a repeadative sound, you have to switch it more with that many traccs...aight now the titles of the songs, well go into any music store and picc up any two major or sumwhut well know underground artist and i bet the song titles have a match or very close veriation or meaning...I like song titles that make think and especially wonder wut songs about, makes you wanna hear before you have any idea wut it will sound like.
One my favorite cd's "MASTAMIND" likkkuidrano" a 6song ep, well actually 4 cause its has an intro and a outro. But the for songs knocc, stand out from eachother, and carry with the theme of the ep as a whole...Tech N9ne - Angellic has around 20 songs, with an intro, bout 4-5 skits...but this albums was pieced togther masterfully, feels like he tellin you a story, the story of his life in hell and how he got to where he did...
Location - I like to hear the sound of music from new locations and spots with thriving underground cd like the KCK, MO...I just found bout this guy name MAC LETHAL from Kansas state. OOWWEE is he hard, more hiphop the gangsta, but more gangsta then hip hop if that makes any sense. Diffently got a style all his own, good storyteller...Kinda goofy though...
Then my SICCNESS releases...
Well many of yall probably dont know...I buy every cd on of my artist, on the rise artist or board member ever realeases...Even if get sent a cd for free, i wil go out buy it. I make sure my local store support yall...and yall wouldnt belive me if i told How many cds i have how much $$$$ dropped on supporting the cats that support me! Oh, and if i aint got your shit, let me know, it will be added to my list of released cd waiting to be purchased in the order it was placed on the list...
So yes, I will buy a cd i have never heard. THIS DOESNT WORK EVERY TIME. I have about a 50/50 success rate...But i got some shit very few people ever even have the chance to hear much less buy. I will give any cd a try as long as it can be considered a learning experience, because i never trade or sell a cd out my own personal collection, I study every cd inside and out to find wut like and dislike of the album. I learn from it and absorb everything bout it. Peeps laugh at me all the time cause we can go to any cd store, they picc out cd to test quiz me on, and odd are pretty good I can tell when the the cd was released, who it was produced and distrabuted by, previous and future projects, wut label they signed,who the executive producer was all that. I guess im a fountain of rap knowledge, i know my history, but always wanna learn more. Im influenced by everything whether it be good or bad, yall feel...
If any one try one of my methods let me know how it works out, but hold me liable if doesnt...
Plus anyone know of any artist I may not that comin with some new to the table? put me up on game bout them and where to get the cd...
