No Vitamin D, Jake One, Bean One, this boy Catchphrase is tight too, he's in NY right now though, he'll be back, and this guy Jonas can hook 'em up as well...
Can I not have my own opinion?I mean,I don't know those other guys music real well,so I can't say,but you telling me they deserve to be broke off don't mean shit to me.

thirdeye253 You get what u pay for. . .
I don't really agree with that.To me D is one of the hardest hip-hop producers in the world,and I don't think he's even gettin breaded like Hollis,who I think is wack as fuck.I could'nt tell you what each charges,but I assume Hollis charges more.

In my opinion, Equipment is not a good investment... unless you are making good money, you aren't going to be able to keep your sound/production equipment up to date. Find a reliable studio and invest your money into recording with them. You're going to end up getting the best product in the end. This business has to be a main staple in your life or you have to be able to waist a lot of money. Rome wasn't built in a day, but in a day a person could see a lot of Rome... think about it, don't build Rome, let somebody else do that... just make sure you use it to it's full potential. Would you rather own a crack house or rent a mansion? Are you ready to struggle at the Dailey Planet or do you want to soar faster than a speeding bullet? If you were a haircut would you be a Mullet or a Fro? In the game of life, you can only wish for a reset button. Dogs pee with one leg up. Sasafras, honey, sasafras.

I disagree.. yeah, you do gotta spend money to make money.. especially when trying to come with a product suitable to the public's ears.. but a lot of the people out here who do have a name.. have a team. Mr. D-Sane is the in-house producer for his label, he handles 90% of the production for all of his artists to give them the best product. Same with Funkdaddy and Livio or Neema and Isaac.. there's a group of people to help make these projects the best they can. I, myself, have my own producer who I work solely with (especially for this next project coming up) and he charges me nothing. Same situation.. I do agree that if you want heavy-hitters outta this region to contribute to your music, you gotta pay for those services. There's no guarantee what you do with their beat or verse is gonna blow or even be promoted for that matter, so they gotta get something out of the work they provide.... BUT, you don't have to work with producers with a track record.. u might just find someone out there with the talent to give you and them a track record. feel me?

You get what you pay for is not tru in music sorry!! nothing is fasure in this game.company's pay producers big buck's all the time and the single still flop! Now i will say if you got a house hold name on your product it does help alot, money dont make hit's niggas coming together workin hard on there craft and skill's make hits. and i also have learned that alot of producer's beat's dont be that tight when you pay them because they start to make the music that fits the artist thats payin them the money, most of the cat's they do beat's for don't be that good, but they still give them track's because they want the money.

I've charged for everything since. i get cats tellin me all the time "hook me up", "I'll promote us both", "i'm gonna blow up", that's all lovely, but it don't mean shit if I aint gettin broke off from the start. Some dudes don't spend, or they tell me "I aint tryin to spend anything on my cover, my cousin has photoshop" 9 times outta 10, we'll all be able to tell. there's plenty of $ for everybody in the NW, if your makin smart moves to make it. this aint a fuckin hobby, it's a business.
$50 it's probably garbage........ Not a good thang to say!!!
