Rap Game
 
Why is the rap game so appealing? what would be the first thing you did if you made it big? which label would you be signed to? what would be your rap name, and the name of your first album and debut single?

Trapt Wit 01-24-04 05:29 PM

Meh... I just want to get signed damnit.
Sad thing is, I've already had my first single. (long story, I got fucked over by a label)

I got a bunch of free studio time.... recorded 8 tracks and lost all rights to them.

So now I hear my shit on the radio... without my permission

FanTa ZeE 01-24-04 05:36 PM

Trapt Wit 01-24-04 05:38 PM

I had some heads approach me at a club one night after I had finished battling. They offered me a contract with free studio time involved.... so I signed it on the spot.
After the studio sessions I looked over the contract and I had signed away any rights I had over the recorded music.

FanTa ZeE 01-24-04 05:50 PM

Orpheus Rex 01-24-04 05:51 PM

Whats Your Aim Chrit...?

Dragon I 01-24-04 06:06 PM

that's unlucky trapt wit. i'm sure if they were willing to give you studio time, somebody else out there will be. as for me, if i was to record an album i'd want to be on either big dada or low life records (two british companies), cos they ahve teh best artists in the uk and that's who i'd ant to work with. first album woudl be called british beef and it would be under this name, or a nickname most people know me as from where i'm from, which is crafty jack.

Trapt Wit 01-24-04 06:11 PM

chrit aka eoe

I'll be gone for the rest of the night however

The rap games very appealing to idiots because they think they have something good to say when really it's worthless, but the masses buy it anyways.

Fuck the money.

||X-Raze|| 01-28-04 02:42 PM

I'd Want To Be Under Either Shady/Aftermath/Interscope.....
Or Roc-a-Fella Records....
My Name Would Obviously Be " ||X-Raze|| "...
Album Title...Ummmm...."Pain Or Pleasure"...
Single Title....."Lazerus"...

G. Buttersworth 01-28-04 03:24 PM

well.. first thing i want to do.. is get a spot on rap city... promote my album for about 15 minutes... then talk to the dj.. to play a hot indie beat...

then make moves to the booth.. with tig of course...

and get my manager to bust a freestyle... to show these talentless, mainstream, signed artists.... how you really, bust off the top of your head.

then i'll let tig.. kiss some ass... then i'll get on...

sad day for mainstream artists that day will be.

Thats exactly what the rap game needs, another 'coke dealer' turned rapper

Label-Whoever has the correct paperwork, i've had 2 turn down deals becuz of paperwork which turned me off 2 getting signed for a long time. Labels will fuck u in the ass vasolineless.

Single-Either 'different' a song wit Andre 3000 and Ghostface praising individuality or 'heaven help us' a song i made a while back wit an old sample (can't remember the singer but the song is of the same name)

1st thing i'd do-go on Hot97 and challenge any signed emcee that wants it wit me (of course i'd do it in the summer when the truly dope people are on tour so i get owned by Wu tang clan or something)

Then i'd make sure i have very few friends in rap. only producers and people i think are dope then i'd proceed to making fun of everybody
