Important Decision
 
Here is the scenario:

You just made it and got signed to a major label. You already have an albums worth of songs, and you were told that they would be the songs on the album. Then the executives or whatever tell you that 5 tracks will be cut, and replaced with a song relating to bling bling, chilling in the club, hoes and ass clapping, a ja-rule like love song, and a song with two very weak sell out lyricist. What would you do?

Most catz would say they would leave the label... and i would say that too...

But the lure of money and being famous IMO would be too much..what makes you think that you are stronger than the people who have already 'sold out'.....

Fuck it, leave and put out a dope Ep...get signed again..l0l

It's complicated.

You can either go with the executives until you make it properly and when you have more input into your albums you do what you want.


OR

You can leave and pray that another opportunity comes along.
It's your choice but think carefully

I'd stay.. Only reason is because eventually they'll give you more say on your albums so you can do it ho wyou want it.. See how Eminem did ? He didn't really do it how the label wanted him to but now you see, he can do just about anything with his music..

I'd sign up, then once my first album goes 10x Platinum fuck em off and start my own label......

stay because as soon as you got the first money deal you'll then be able to demand wot you want!!! wot you feels right etc

Crysis 12-04-03 10:37 AM

see heres what id do.......give the execs a version of the album with those gay songs on it.....but make sure a different version is printed and sold...causiong controversy.....getting the album takin off shelves.....getting dropped...thus getting signed to a new major b/c id be famous for controversy.....word

B.I.Detained 12-04-03 10:43 AM

hmmmmmm^^^^good idea...but its the execs that give thumbs up to the final seshion

Crysis 12-04-03 11:03 AM

yea but doesnt mean i cant pay the person who sends the final copy out to be printed off...b/c the execs ok the final copy....then send it to the guy that sends it to the printers

B.I.Detained 12-04-03 11:04 AM

lol.....looks like ya got it all planned out..go for it

Crysis 12-04-03 11:23 AM

^word i do got it planned out...watch.....youll see me on mtv saying FUCK COLUMBIA RECORDS! or someshit like that.......then ill look at the crowd on trl and say FUCK YALL....then ill look at the host and say FUCK YOU.....then ill release a song called FUCK MTV.....thus creating more controversy and sealing me in the history books

self 12-04-03 11:51 AM

Thats how the rest of the songs would be anyways :) :thumbup:

Crysis 12-04-03 12:04 PM

^word....but i would still be famous........then i would get shot and fake my death......thus making me a legend in the eyes of all herbs...elevating my sales to godly heights.......wait...that plan is original right?

Diverse 12-04-03 01:53 PM

i'd drop the label.....money's tight but don't sell yourself short tryin to be somethin your not........don't comprise your values...fuck that.....real mc'in.......

"underground artists always roc tha mic tha hardest"

Emerge 12-04-03 04:20 PM

not sure as to what i would do...i would probably put the original songs on it in a prerealease or post realease or as hidden songs
