Now, before you run along saying "who the fuck cares about net fame except geeks who can't get any props on tha streetz", consider this...

The net itself is growing so fucking fast and more and more people are going to be around it more and more often. Myself, I know plenty of people from school who I never even thought of being online coming on for 4-5 hours a day. The internet is starting to provide match-making for LOVE on the net, which is no doubt much more significant than music (generally.) In the very near future, it is more than possible that you will hear your friends talking about their favorite, what you call "netcees" like DZK, Nimrod etc. Some of these artists could even sell gold, MAYBE even platinum JUST by their popularity off of the ever growing net. So, how important/significant do you think building a "net fame" fanbase is to a career in noit even just music, but anything?

i don't honestly need or crave net fame. its for imbosils that act hard or "thuggish" on the net because they suck at education or can't get a job, or are the boy in the corner without any friends at school. so they reside on their spinny chairs, with their stubby sweaty fingertips at a keyboard dissing other individuals. plus, they get hyped over beating someone lyrically through a screen, and taking arguments or otherwise known as "beef" literally and seriously, often holding petty vendettas against that person and his/her crew. its really sad to see people insulting one another, and i hope we can get past this one day, and just be e-buddys and discuss intellectually nourished topics with eachother. but sadly, most of the people on this site will never let the thug culture go.

Fame is fame. Long as I'm slanging records I don't care if it's face to face or paypal. I agree. I got lots of netcee favorites, cause I ain't listenin for who's got the most gats, but who's got the nicest flow, or dopest lyrics. Fucka gangsta if you spit as bad as lil wayne, and fucka gangsta if ya wordplay is poor as Juvey's. 50% of my fans are off the net, ordering my mixtape, or emailin me waitin on my solo. So to netfame. (Long as you still get your ass out the basement and do shows lol

It allows you to make contacts in the business, personally I know a case where a guy from The Netherlands be producing for mad underground cats in the USA just because they picked him up from a board just like this. Internet is THE ideal way to spread your name around because almost everyone has access to internet. It's the best medium to get known at a fast pace.

net fame is a good thing

only way net fame is shitty is for kids who use it to beef with people and talk a lot of shit just cuz they know there friends will come and back em up
it makes them feel all superior when in actual fact they are probably insignificant school kids who get their heads flushed daily
also, its pathetic to see kids claim they are godly through their net fame and only ever text a lot of shit on the net

net fame is only gonna help sumone possibly getting anywhere in the business if they are capable and aspire to drop some type of audio in the future..............cuz ya aint gonna see no text rappers on the TV are ya!!!!
