Would You Sell Out?
 
I know what my answer is, but I wanna see what a few other people have to say before I share it. And I'm not talking about no Wacky D shit.....I mean, would you give a label a considerable amount of creative control over your music.

So......would you sell out?

.Ike. 03-13-06 08:41 PM

you already know.....

Nynth Degree 03-13-06 08:44 PM

It depends how much control they want.

.Ike. 03-13-06 08:45 PM

straight up....

if they was waving a multi million dollar check in front of me...and wanted all the control....

i would proceed to ask...

"and uh...where do i sign?"

NO FUCK I RAP BECAUSE I LOVE TO DOIT I DONT RAP FOR THE MONEY
IF u COULDNT MAKE MONEY RAPPING I WOULD STILL DO IT IS IN MY BLOOD

Dirty Nigga 03-13-06 08:48 PM

All i'd see is dollar signs in my eyes...


i'd be like ''man these fools wanna sign me and I aint even an emcee''...so Id definately take it, shiit, Id have nothin to lose lol..

.Ike. 03-13-06 08:52 PM

honestly you would be retarded not to sell out.....u can get your couple of million dollars hopefully during your contract....then continue to venture out...maybe one day starting your own major label...THEN...u will be able to control all your shit...

most people are gonna have to get their feet wet first before doing exactly what they wanna do

I wouldn't have even noticed that, since I chose the "don't show signatures" option. *Remembers the days of dime sacks* haha.

Ysdat 03-13-06 08:58 PM

no .

CRiSS-CROSS 03-13-06 08:58 PM

Probably not because I don't want my life revolving just around music.. I got other shit to do.

I'm not sure exactly what your talkin bout because I'm not that familiar with labels yet. But I'm sure I wouldn't give them control of my music. If they like me as a solo artist then they better have signed me because of what I can do as a solo artist cuz I do everything myself. They can mix and make my beats and hook me up with cats to collab with. But thats it, you can't change my style.

Sean Gunner 03-13-06 09:00 PM

Nah, main reason cuz I wouldn't last anyway. I hate having my creativity suffocated, and if I willingly did it, ya. It just wouldn't happen.

Enygma 03-13-06 09:56 PM

Ok......basically, I'd be a selling out, coffe fetching, shoe shining, ass kissing mutha fucka. If someone was waving all kinds of money in my face to do some shit that was as easy as just rapping what they want you to rap, well then I'd think you would be stupid if you didn't say FUCK YEAH :thumbup:™
