Word.... deffintly

And thats what seperates the cats with passion and the ones who just do it for attention and self accomplishment.

its on the net yes, but its promoted offline as much as online, and actually the comment about people listening to soundclick e.t.c only for small labels, yes, but labels that are worth while, not a chance, they wouldnt waste time, they want people to prove the skill aswell as the motivation and determination and prove its worth them putting the money into it, where as the stations im talking about, may be online, but for me work, because they have guest appearances and interviews e.t.c with some of the UK's biggest and most respected artists, but also i think u missed the part of ppl playing my shit in clubs, it getting me appearances on mixtapes which will be sold online, at live events, in stores on the high street aswell as actually on the streets, the point was, why waste the time promoting that shit around forums e.t.c when u could spend the same amount of time promoting it to people that have the contacts, and can actually make something happen for you and possibly open doors????

you think my shits wack??? good for you, but i notice everytime sum1 says "leady u suck" "u sound like a blah blah blah" its sumthin to do with my accent and never ever EVER says anything negative about my flow, presence, delivery and lyrical abilities fuck what a narrowminded bitch thinks , end of the day, i know im right, and i know im better than most on this site, spul included(no offence to spul intended, not tryna diss u there)

Leady are you planning on staying indie indefinatly....

Or can you just not get a deal?

yup, i still stand to be corrected

i can get a deal, i have been signed and been offered deals before, but not deals im looking for, the majority of the UK scene is indipendant with the exception of a few that have been at this for years n years, like jehst, task force e.t.c, labels like low life have established themselves to a point of no longer being an indie label for sum1 puttin they own sound out, but as an actual label for signing artists and is continually growing in status.

if your going to comment on people, and what they are doing e.t.c atleast make sure you know how the scene in that particular country works first

lol well.....

i'm 17, I go to high school, and I play basketball. And I hardly have any free time, so right now my #1 priority is to finish high school, and earn the best grades I can, so I can get into a good college and i want to finish off strong. so lmao I don't really care about doin' all that shit you "say" you do right now. I got time for that next yr, when I will have the whole year off. So right now for me, the only way I CAN get people to hear my music is through SC and through the net. Plus, I live in Bolton, and this town is no-where near any place I could do shit with hip-hop. I mean, there is nobody here that even cares about hip-hop besides me. I'm only person who raps in my school out of 1000+. So unless I go far out of bolton and into Boston and shit, I can't really do much outside of the net. But i can't do that cuz the lack of time.

So I don't see why you feel the need to knock off my only way of getting my music heard. Right now, music is my #3 priority, school bein' 1, b-ball bein' 2. Next yr, it will be my #1 priority. So till then, I don't give a fuck if you think this shit's bad. I look @ my shit, and if I see 200 plays, that means that atleast over 100 diff people atleast heard some of my music. Will they do anything about it? no, so what? I'm not worried about getting signed yet. Right now, I can't put in 110% into this.

And also, i'm not saying this like i think it's so dope, that i'm so ill cuz i'm #5 on SC. I even said myself, I ain't like song. I just thought it was cool, and this is definetly better then all the stupid ass threads tha Q thinks are neccessary and other pointless threads. I just thought i'd share, it's not like you'll see me rockin' shirts sayin' "I'm #1 in MA ON SC CHARTS!!!!!". fuck that.

And leady, everyone has their opinion. IMO, I think I'm better than you. To each his own, go figure.

But another thing, I find it funny how RV members embrace the threads that have no meaning to it, like threads about peanut butter and jelly, or how you think someone is wack for dissing you over the internet. But when it comes to threads that actually have a point to it, about a member accomplishing somethin' positive, whether big or small. it's pathetic.

im not really tryna knock you, im just saying that soundclick stats n shit dont mean jack, it doesnt actually mean u have a fan base or anything like that e.t.c... i just feel you could spend the time concentrating your music into the right direction as far as promoting it goes, wether people beleive what i do or not, honestly doesnt mean jack to me, when the CD's drop and when im performing e.t.c or on radio or whatever and i know people can tune in, or arent too far away to make the event that post here, i will post it up, but if i do a performance and i know the kid that lives nearest to venue here is over 100 miles away or whatever, whats point posting it up??? nobody will make it so its pointless lol, but al it takes is just putting a little demo togeather, approaching the right people with the right manner of professionalism behind you and it will get your sounds heard by more than just a "soundclick audience" and it can be done without effecting your school work e.t.c....... and i agree, most threads posted in here are pathetic and im kinda glad u posted this one as it had an opening for some intelligent discussion on the subject of promoting e.t.c

ahhhhhhhhhh trust me..... Online listenin is the right way to go...... no one had known who Dane Cook was like 5 years ago (hes the top selling comedian out right now if u still dont know)..... and all he did was spend time on the internet to promote his comedy cds and shit, and personally imin and emailin fans about upcomin performances and CDs..... and now he had the top comedy cd sellings of all time...... he hit #3 on the Billboard charts wen his latest comedy CD came out..... THIRD..... which has never been done before..... so dont bash internet hits and promotion

(in response to leady)^word tru, I know it don't mean much, I just thought it was cool, and jus thought to share. I wasn't sayin', look i'm in top 5, i'm so dope. and plus, i know next yr i will have no school to worry about, have a whole yr to worry about promoting, so till then, I'm fine with jus putting my stuff on soundclick, myspace, etc. Right now i jus wanna focus on school and sports. I still write everyday, but the promoting i am willing to hold off till next yr.
