that!!! and alot of them dont have the kno how as far as where to go or what to pay for pressing album covers flyers and etc. imo a lack of knowledge out side of just recording their material...
I agree with this as well, however when you want something bad enough then you will find the answers, and this goes for what Rasan said as far as motivated...Lack of motivation is probably more of a sign of laziness, because there is money to be made, and a career to build if that doesnt motivate you then what will?
Money?.....It is an investment in your career, if you do not have faith that you can make money..why should anyone else believe in you?...
Ive seen threads asking about pressing and some people press small batches....even if you only press up 100 initially,.if you cant raise that money then wait until you can or get someone who believes in you.\
Also everyone wants to be a rapper...damn if a team of entrepraneurs got together and treated themselves as an investment group.....and invested in one rapper and they all shared equally in profit and losses..the team would promote hard...have better quality etc because they all have an equal interest......too many rappers are just saying.."when i make it we all gonna eat" sounds good, but usually the trust is broken at some point or jealousy ..envy whatever.....Oh and not many are writing legal agreements...a handshake dont mean much anymore
