Important Decision

IP: C782 C9D6

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..
