nothin too heavy unless you only use heavy beats.

its gotta be something where the beat aint too complicated cos they gotta be focused on you and you alone

Ontop of how good you perform, you absolutly need to rap something that is sellable and that will make them feel audiences would be very interested in hearing..

Rap for them a song that in all cases represents a hit single... Even the best rappers can get turned down because their lyrical content doesent fit the type of image that their looking for in the rap industry.

Over in Australia its different, but in america for you Q, you need to fit the steriotype of a sellable image to gain any possibility of getting signed...

Its fucked up, but thats the straight up truth.

I ain't askin all that...I didn't ask which should you do first...I asked what types of song should you perform in front of a label...esp. if the opportunity presented itself...I for one wouldn't pass up on that opportunity

I agree...Jay Z was turned down and we see how successful he is...


I'm asking this because I have an opportunity to go to NY and perform in front of some DJs...including Kay Slay...


and I'm seriously considering it...I mean, I have nothing to lose...if I don't do it, then I'll have regrets...If I do it, the worse that can happen is they say "Nah, we ain't feelin that, sorry"

pssf...

It's in December

This is compleatly irrelevant...

If your not atleast a decent performer you wouldnt even get looked at by talent scouts in the first place...

Why did you even bother typing up this post?

Ugghh Kay slay is annoying as fuck and makes shitty beats..

But if the opportunity is there, fucking go for it man... Get in with anyone you can, rape the fuck out of them for what their worth and slowly move up the ladder...

Just make sure you got everything in ya act extremily tight so they all get the impression your the next big thing... Once you got peeps down with ya movement, thats the beginning of it all..

Yea...I actually could have gone up in 2 weeks but I wasn't prepared. It's basically an open call for openers...they're looking for emcees to open up for different rappers
