Yay! Im Gonna Be Rapper B

IP: FF5C 8D5B

.. my crew, Team One is gettin signed..... as long as we reach an agreement with this Indie label.......

[knows people are gonna ask a whole shitload of questions to try and catch me in some "lie", and talk shit, but how about u bitches just shutup/]

we're a lil apprehensive cuz we feel like were gettin screwed, like 90% of the artists so we might not agree to this shit...... but werd up bitches!

and for anyone whos gone through this, gimme some tips on some sorta fine print i should look out for or loopholes they may put in the contract....

the main reason we dont wanna do it, is cuz its one cd, 16 tracks..... were thinkin about waitin longer, maybe tryna get a better deal, or put out some more shit until other labels want a piece, hopefully..... word bitches

Yo a one cd contract is a fairly decent start...

Definatly look at the percentage their paying you per unit.. But overall man, just have a good read through it...

If your real worried, get a lawyer to read through it..

But seriously man, with your first cd, what you really need to be doin is workin and puttin in 110% towards promoting your music and getting stuff in the stores... Nobody makes big money off their first cd... If your good enough and you really got what it takes to come up and hit the big time.. Then that'll come later... Only through tremendous hard work though, remember that....

And make sure you get a good manager... That shit is key......
