Saturday night I saw a local artist and asked him if he needed any beats, he said always so he gave me his 2-way number and told me to send him a cd.Am I opening up myself to get jacked or should I trust him.This could be a good oppurtunity to finally get on.He has worked with some very big names and is friends with the hottest artist from the D. (Think about it) What should I do.
 
Hey BigReek


Don't do it! Do you know that you have answered your own question already. You said and I quote

Am I opening up myself to get jacked or should I trust him.

Notice! what you said first "Am I opening up myself to get jacked" that was your first reaction which you should listen to. Your heart have already told you not to send nothing. Their should be a contract before you do anything when it come to music.

Do you even know this person? and I really mean, know this person? Giving this person your CD without knowing him is like a female giving up her virginity to a man she don't even know. Then when the guy finish with her, she's sitting there feeling used.

This could be a good oppurtunity to finally get on.

Or it can be a could oppurtunity for him to use you for your music. Everyone wants to be put on some how these days, that's the fastest way to be used by somebody in this business. Do you know how many people have falling in traps like that trying to get them self put on.

Hey, you don't have to listen to me but, if I'm right you will wish you listened the first time. Many people sell their souls just to be put on is in this hiphop game, don't let the love of money make you, make bad decisions.


Peace.

Also BigReek

Your first step should be to study and learn about the music industry and how this business works before you make any moves. Have you ever heard the saying "What you don't know won't hurt you". I say forget that old saying, cause What you don't know about this music business will hurt you in the long run.

Below are some music books you should invest your time and money into by reading and learning from them , I'm sure these books will give you a good road map to reach your goals.

Unlike this ^^^ cat I think you should get with him. Just get somethin down, if he uses your music. Look, if he ever blows up you'll be asking yourself, WHAT IF

WHAT IF,
I gave him that cd and he rocked a beat and got on


Just handle your biz and give it to him. You got any alternatives. No....... So either sit at home and do nuthing with your music or give it to the guy who's got some clout. Who knows he may not even like any of your shit.....

Send him the CD

The Womb
 
get your shit copy written then if he try to do-do chase you
sue him. then even if you lost the suit you could make the most out that publicity. if he likes it he probly just irv gotti u and pay u for the beat but give u know name recognition. u decide whats best for u. everyone gets fucced in this game once. just make sure their gentle
 
COPYRIGHT!!!

I agree with Musac...make sure your stuff is copywritten. If so, you can fight if it is stolen. Although...once 2 or 3 artists work together...sometimes your stuff can become a legal grey area, at least you'll have a leg to stand on...not just some jerk of the street saying you stole my stuff with no proof. Or at least no proof that the court will care about.

And on the happy side, if you don't get ripped off and it's a good collaborative union...GREAT! Those are hard to find...enjoy and take advantage.
 
GET IT COPYRIGHTED AND PUSH IT TO HIM IF HE TRIES TO FUK YOU YOU GOT HIM LEGAL LIKE.
BE BOUT YO MUSIC
BE BOUT YO PAPER
BUT MOST OF ALL BE BOUT YO BIZNESS
 
yo dawg sa-da-tay 'n dilly dawg po-nub. this cheeky cherubic chub-nub gets no danky from thee nubs. he be pilin' po-nubs all up in dat shit mofo. YO, take yo shit an' bodaciously bo-dang dat shit up in yo do-see-do. take dat mofo 'n po-dang dat dilly dawg perpendicularly parrallel to the wha-da-say. sho' nuff.
 
copyright your beats...give it to him, but let him know your beats are copywritten..so he will know he cant jack your work..and hope that it blow up like hell...thats my 2 cents in it

Thanks

Thanks everyone.I've learned alot from you here.That's why I always check what's going on in here.I just don't like some of the unnecessary stuff sometimes.You have helped alot of people.As you know everyone doesn't register.So imagine all the people you don't know about.Just giving props where there due.I've taken every opinion into consideration and I will copyright my stuff any opinions on how to go about it?I have ideas but I want opinions.If I ever do blow up this message board will get a shout out in my credits.It's the least I could do.
 
wa-da-say wa-da-day chub-nubs. wat' be all da po-dank chump change mutha's? nubz be your bro bro's. i be talkin' from da streets n' shit sa-da-tay mofo's. if you can'be gettin' jiggy like squiggy from laverne and shirley squirrely mofo's, ain't be my po-dank yo-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-yo's.

"Sweetnubs ya sound like a fuckin' idiot playa,I was reading ya post in another thread and ya sounded like a idiot in there too son!!"

That's "you" instead of "ya" right? I think I understand. I'm thinking that you mean "fucking idiot player" right? The comma between "playa" and "I" is unecessary. Since "I" is the start of a new sentence, you have made the classic "comma splice" error.


Next up, Barrage NP: "damn your stupid"

Now now Barrage, "your" should be the contraction "you're." "your" shows possesion of the word "stupid" which is grammatically incorrect. You actually want to say "you are" which is what the contraction "you're" indicates.



Who's, next? Oh yes, darknailblue: "yo dude... your a DUMBASS!!"

I'm guessing by "Yo" you mean something like "hello" seeing as "yo" is really not a word in the English language. You also made the same mistake Barrage Np made, using the possesive "your" when you really needed to use the contraction "you're."



got remedial english?
 
hey there fella's, why does everyone want his music to "blow up?" That's not very nice.
 
thanks for your participation, good bye sweetnubs. Here's your award for gayest name on the boards.
