We are having serious problems with follow-through in the NorthWest. Artists meeting online and emailing verses back and forth, not even attempting to arrange a meeting in person, only exacerbates the problem.
What is the problem with that? Bekuz katz cant meet up? Bekuz its thru email? This is just a step.. sooner or later homies are gonna do what they need to do to make it more formal. Alot of katz never meet, but always talk on the phone.
When you speak of known names, these aren't the people I'm talking about. If you have middlemen or managers or associates arranging verse swaps, willing to cosign that their artist isn't going to be a fuck-up and recycle the verse for compilations, or sell it to someone else, etc...completely different situation than exists in threads like these.
Not everyone has a manager or a middleman. Alot of people do shit on their own. People do their own research as far as chekin out the music or even seeing if they got homies in that town... but for the most part, shit is mutual.
I'm pretty sure there are sheisty people out there, but i havent encountered any, but i'm sure there are katz that steal beats or lyrics. And this is where trust comes in to play... and EVERYONE TAKES THAT RISK. It only takes one time for an artists to ruin his name... and that will travel very far.
Hurling out insults at this point in time is completely unnecessary. Why? Because I'd mash on every single person in this thread by whatever means necessary. The counter-position is untenable. To wit: if you take yourself seriously as an artist, then it's idiotic to email verses to other artists you just met online for the sole purpose of making "good music". That's about as moronic as dating someone you met on Craigslist, and fucking them on the first night without a rubber.
I didnt insult you.
you wanna insult people bekuz they are email each other verses? i just dont understand why you even hating like that? no reason too, doesnt effect you. Some people are lazy and some people dont have the motivation to take it further... oh well, none of you biz. Regardless of names, people do make good muzik sending verses thru email. Wanna argue that point? I posted songs of artists that never met each other and did a song. But if you still think it idiotic, hit up the sac forum and so cal forum and ask how many people do shit online.. meeting people and doing something. Believe it or not, before i met up with redrum 781, mally mall, young sau, Big june, Kenny mack, they've sent me songs for their up coming projekt incomplete, they sent me beats they paid for, to see if people wanted to jump on them.
Why they trust me? i'm a fan. but they did their cheks and trusted me enough not to leak shit.. and i've proven myself. if i did leak shit.. guess who would be gettin hit up in those towns or brought up in discussions?
So for most artists, their credibility and work ethic is very important.
Still dont get it? go to the 91siccness subforum and hit up mgang916. That's mally mall and ask him about him sending verses to Clinton wayne in So cal. or Snapp Ford in Florida.
Again....these artists are exacerbating a serious problem, and people like you are condoning it. Maybe you have alternative motives (you steal beats, or steal lyrics, etc.).....maybe you just believe what you believe, and it's a "street thing" (online), and I'm "just a square" or whatever else you can come up with. Either way. I'm the 700lb gorilla these days, I packed on another 100. So if its an intellectual/business knowledge battle you're looking for, we can go for 20 pages. If not, let me know now, so I can pick up my W and leave it alone.
I dont condone steal shit, but i do agree that if people want to do something together, its up to them to set it up, thru email or myspace or in person.
But I'm a nobody to condone shit, i just seen it work.. and that is my argument wid you.
my motives? i wanna hear good muzik by dope artists. My alt. motives? I guess when i go to meet up with katz, i get respect.

many of them post on here in the other forums.. especially the SD homies. Ask the question of people throwing verses thru email...
Bekuz "its a street thing" and you're a "square"... naw, it saves time and money... yes studio time costs money and not everybody has access to it.
People are busy, with jobs, family, hustling, tours..
and yes, even distance is an issue.
plus its 2009..
Coopdvill, yes one of the owners of siccness, does shit thru email too.

chek that song "All Flame" with redrum 781, Jim West, Baby Bandit and Doitmovin. redrum dont know Baby Bandit or Doitmovin. plus he in LA and Baby Bandit in SD and Doitmovin in Sac.
or whatever else you can come up with. Either way. I'm the 700lb gorilla these days, I packed on another 100.
i aint said shit bout you, so what the fuk are you talking about?
So if its an intellectual/business knowledge battle you're looking for, we can go for 20 pages. If not, let me know now, so I can pick up my W and leave it alone.
Its funny you said intellecutal/business battle. You're giving all these excuses for people NOT to do shit thru email/online.
WHEN INFACT IT HAPPENS... WITH UNDERGROUND AND MAINSTREAM ARTISTS.
Only "W" i see here is whining. But i guess that goes with being closed minded about music.
Remember hit up those people i left myspace links to... AND IF YOU TOO LAZY TO DO THAT.. HIT UP THESE PEOPLE ON HERE.. the siccness:
COOPDVILL
Supa SAV'D OUTT
