Ya, I'm not reading a lot of new stuff that I haven't heard before really except that big and indie label comment.
But still, it inspires me more.

unsolicited material = CD,s demos, etc that they didn't specifically request. meaning like anything that's mailed to them, handed to them, etc.
industry dosent' take stuff like that anymore to avoid anyone claiming they stole material that was submitted to them and used it in a song because lines/tracks/verses/concepts or what ever were similar.

Well then how do you get heard by them?
Cuz it seems like you have to still sit back and wait for that call.

^^that's the part I was hoping people wouldn't over-react to, but it's definitely not "good news" that's for sure.
the bad news is, unless they're looking for an artist like your self, you stand little ot no chance ot get heard by someone in the (mainstream) business without going through an outlet like an A/R or publisher. that's the only way they'll know you're serious anyway. anyone can put songs on a CD and mail it. individual artists don't even take CD's anymore, nor do A/R's in person, publicists etc. been that way for a while. I can send you some interviews with industry heads where they discuss it if you want. it's a steam and it's 48m long. well worththe listen if you actuayl give a shit about the business side of the Music BUSINESS.

It seems like you gotta start a buzz first like some of these mixtape cats so they'd request your demo. Is that right?

^^depends on what you're trying to do. if you're trying to get signed as an artist you'll def need some sort of follwoing, but regardless someone would have tobe checkin for oyu or someoen who heard you or your name out there be like "yo! someone get a hold of this guy" and that's whne you get a call from the untracable numbers lmao. long story but if you're trying to get put on as an artist, these days you need a buzz to some extent.
