Re: Further Your Music Career! Get Your Questions Answered!

peace pplz .. i would ask  how do i get around payola ...im a producer with hot up and coming new  artists riding with me.  i dont mind paying 4 good promotion , but i would rather the talent of the artist and the heat of the song be requirments for daily spins rather than  gifts n perks . its only fair to the longevity of the artist, n the music quality of the fan , so my question is simply are  we as  producers n ceoz  doomed 4 ever , to have to bribe disc jokeys to play our hits or is there a way around it ?... yell back @ me ...

First if he was a he, i would ask him if he had a girlfriend...lmao but seriously i would ask him how he felt about my music and what he thought others would think about it, im pretty sure i would get a good response not because i am on his show but because i feel my music and talent is that tight.! that would be a start to further my career.

Cool [H] Re: Further Your Music Career! Get Your Questions Answered!

what advise can you give to a fellow African American who's intrested in helping out young brothers in canada who have madd skills when it comes to rhyming . not just spiting words. I'am talking reality the way we see life through our own eye's and our views.

Canada has alot of underground rappers too if we sent u some demo could u let us no if it's " src="/emoticons/emotion-21.gif"> or" src="/emoticons/emotion-45.gif"> we would really be greatful.

" src="/emoticons/emotion-11.gif">: a person can't read you or scence weakness if he can't look you in the eye's

 " src="/emoticons/emotion-35.gif" width=19>sheller use from the the rain & then keeps rhasisumunderneath it as well with the white mans laws       

" src="/emoticons/emotion-16.gif">: for many years the WH/MAN has Zipped it for use but now we" src="/emoticons/emotion-20.gif"> open it too much just kidding

I'd ask if he could loan me $50,000.


Howbeit he meaneth not so, but it is in his heart to cut off nations not a few.

To: shadswifey911,

What do you mean by how do you get someone to recognize your talent? I'm trying to see if we're on the same page. Is it how can you get seen and heard.
