When performing in front of Labels talent scouts...
 

which types of songs should you do?

nothin too heavy unless you only use heavy beats.

its gotta be something where the beat aint too complicated cos they gotta be focused on you and you alone

I'd agree wit Dex

dex is rite.. but also songs u feel are you VERY BEST and u KNOW u will be able to rip up in a majour way wen done live

thats exactly it!!

hit the nail on the head there

at end of the day if u dont feel its best... most like nobody else will n if ur not so confident about wat ur performin it will show in ur performance on stage... but honestly.. id wait before u do that... get experience first build up ur stage character and confidence.. on stage wit a few hundred rowdy as fuk hip hop fans is dauntin wen u start out.. i remember my first time.. every1 jus makin bare noise.. brap brap everytin... n it makes u nervous cos ur like... damn wat if i dnt keep em hype as they are.. the more u do it.. u forget them thoughts n jus go on enjoy urself n do it like it is all u do 24/7... but u really do need to get experience first before u go for wat ur on bout now... learn to play to ya crowed properly.. move round the stage properly makin eye contact wit them n wat not... never try jumpin ahead of urself or u will be bound to fail

Ontop of how good you perform, you absolutly need to rap something that is sellable and that will make them feel audiences would be very interested in hearing..

Rap for them a song that in all cases represents a hit single... Even the best rappers can get turned down because their lyrical content doesent fit the type of image that their looking for in the rap industry.

Over in Australia its different, but in america for you Q, you need to fit the steriotype of a sellable image to gain any possibility of getting signed...

Its fucked up, but thats the straight up truth.

I ain't askin all that...I didn't ask which should you do first...I asked what types of song should you perform in front of a label...esp. if the opportunity presented itself...I for one wouldn't pass up on that opportunity

I agree...Jay Z was turned down and we see how successful he is...


I'm asking this because I have an opportunity to go to NY and perform in front of some DJs...including Kay Slay...


and I'm seriously considering it...I mean, I have nothing to lose...if I don't do it, then I'll have regrets...If I do it, the worse that can happen is they say "Nah, we ain't feelin that, sorry"

pssf...

It's in December

This is compleatly irrelevant...

If your not atleast a decent performer you wouldnt even get looked at by talent scouts in the first place...

Why did you even bother typing up this post?

Ugghh Kay slay is annoying as fuck and makes shitty beats..

But if the opportunity is there, fucking go for it man... Get in with anyone you can, rape the fuck out of them for what their worth and slowly move up the ladder...

Just make sure you got everything in ya act extremily tight so they all get the impression your the next big thing... Once you got peeps down with ya movement, thats the beginning of it all..

CO -SIGN


If I can't perform in front of 3 label execs, I'm supposed to perform in front of 100 drunken idiots?


pssf...ass backwards logic

Yea...I actually could have gone up in 2 weeks but I wasn't prepared. It's basically an open call for openers...they're looking for emcees to open up for different rappers

Thats awesome man...

Give it all you got and make this shit happen..

^^^for real...........you ain't got jack to lose

this could be the start of something big you never know

good luck Q for real
