i agree with indepth, i'd be nice to have all the money, but tha real thrill is to have tha respect. If i ever made it i'd be happy if they gave me a decent pay check and people respected me

don't judge rap by TRL and 106&park man


That's correct but they didn't live in a day and age where everything has been surrounded by hip hop. It didn't really explode until BIG and Pac had died, because then we had the first martyrs of hip hop. Now when you turn on the T.V. stupid commercials are using rappers in them. (Burger King, McDonalds, any freaking little kids toy commercial.)


And yes there are places that will sign you to their record labels based on skill. One is Rawkus Records, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Skillz (three of the dopest MCees in my opinion.) are on that label. Streetsweeper Entertainment, Kay Slay's label, do a couple freestyles with some hot punches, you might get signed, (ex. Papoose - you don't know who this is, try google and download some of his music) you may never drop a popular album commercial wise, but you will make a good amount of money street wise. Full Surface Records - Swizz Beats label, very good choice and very sturdy ground to be on. Right now his major star is Cassidy, he had Yung One on there too but he flopped and was dropped from the label. So you impress him some and you may get in there. Finally Star Trak, these guys have one of the greatest labels in my opinion, even if you record don't do too good, they won't automatically drop you from what I've heard. They do a good amount of producing in their roster's records (clipse, kelis, roscoe p. coldchain) and they don't seem like label owners.

So there, just look on the back of the CD's that you buy and if you got a demo send them out to the adresses on the back of them.

You can get signed that way.

I can see myself ghostwriting for an artist so I can shop and other things without the attention.

And if he gets too bigheaded get on stage and humiliate him

Is this directed at me?????

I said I'd ghostwrite and maybe if I can get the hang of it produce for an artist.....
Eventually open my own record company and distribution label.......
I don't want all the crazy attention rappers get.....If theres fine girls Ill pick them up cuz I roll with his crew and he needs me

^^^ dont even kno ya, but rap as a career i seriously doubt it, but if i do plan on bein in the music business, just under rock. rap is sometin i take seriously, and i have a comp im makin my demo on, but other than that i dont think i will use it as a career. for the dude who said hed write lyrics for people i can not see myself doin that, just a pride thing for me, my lyrics my voice. bottam line. pz
