AIYO, WANNA BE or WOULD-BE rappers...Peep this shit
 
STOP, STOP putting your own picture on your Album covers...It's wack...esp. if you wearing some played out costume jewelry (cali)...or u look like that gecko from the commercial (1/2 of RV)...

get some creative artwork on it or some shit


I would not buy an album with a broke ass nigga wearing 30 dolla "diamond-IQUE" earrings.






STOP DAMN IT! :hump:

Waikiki Wipeout 12-17-04 02:50 PM

my CD cover doesn't exist...

SexyChica 12-17-04 02:50 PM

hehe. who would fake any ways?

3rd-Shift 12-17-04 02:51 PM

man u do what you gotta do.....
stop makin a mountain outta a mole hill
thats what underground hip-hop is an if you buy an album for how good the album cover is....then u have no idea of what hip-hop is...


its like sayin dont judge a book by its cover....
only its not a book its an album....


no hate thats just naive

Hey Hey....

Mine is dope. :thumbup:

ok q, so you have all the secret's to make it big in the industry. let's all follow the q becuase if we dont we wont succeed in the industry.

fuck that!!!

everyone's style is there's. If they think the cover would be better with them on the front let them do it. If your not buying or listning to certain album's because of what the cover look's like then why are you listning to hip hop?

Tha Q 12-17-04 03:09 PM

Actually, the CD cover does affect whether I buy something if the person isn't well known...how else would I get to know them? If we are talking about Jay Z, for example, he has made it. So, he could put a picture of a dog shit on the front cover and sell CDs. Cali, on the other hand, isn't as well known. So, if his CD sat in stores with a fucked up picture on the cover, people aren't as likely to notice it or give it a nod. Why in the hell do you think you use covers for anyway?



Think about it. It's true you can't always judge a book by it's cover. But, the cover does give you an idea what's inside.

^your a dumb fag

K.ontroverz.Y 12-17-04 03:37 PM

tha q you my homie but this is a dumb thread

how are you ever going to get known. if you have a picture of michael jackson on your album cover?

Or anything else

Having your pic on the cover. is good because if they dont know the name of da artist and they lookkin for da album they'll know who it is when they see the picture.

Many other reasons

but yes

Tha Q 12-17-04 03:42 PM

^^^Well, u can have urs cuz ur hot




lol...j/k



I was mainly referring to kids who are draped in fake jewelry n shit...it's cheesy

[.:D:.] 12-17-04 04:52 PM

word to tha Q bout the jewelery..but if its real rock it...im not a jewelery man...

but umm...about just havin ya pic on ya cd cover...y not let people kno what u look like...dats a good way of becomin a celebrity..lol...

and get groupies..

DeadLYVisiOnz 12-17-04 04:53 PM

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahaha

[.:D:.] 12-17-04 04:56 PM

ey i kno u....u fuckin suck...^^^.....:thumbup:

Hoodz Prophet 12-17-04 04:59 PM

so basically u wunt people 2 put a pic of a different rapper on their demo...or no1 at all....i don't even care jus askin wut u mean by this

Artemis 12-17-04 05:09 PM

but fo reel, Tha Q is basically right. Like if you look like a retard, anf you on the cover, nobody gonna wanna hear you. like if nobody ever heard you, I agree you shouldn't put yo pic there, put a interesting picture. I mean, like for books, if a book jus has a picture of the author, it's not gonna sell more than if it had a picture of characters int he book or scenery or what not. The album cover matters untill you make it big. weerd.....

lol weerd, but Empire, those people you named were all ready big names dude. They had videos and shit. You have nothing. lol So someone who has never heard you won't buy it if they jus see yo pic on it. 50 Cent had In Da club, and plus, he had Dr. Dre producing him. So he got the publicity


seriously DO NOT EVER compare yourself to them. seriously dude.. weerd...

The Jett 12-17-04 06:59 PM
