None of you niggas........
 

Fucking with me on the track... Point blank period......

:guns::guns::guns::high:


2 min track battle...

Does a track battle involve dissing the other competitor, or doing one about a given topic, or what?

all of the above.

@Danger Rich

Could be a sick listen!

lets have an r&b track battle lool :high: :grass:

We using autotune @Bleu ... lol Link me to your music homie....

Erupt vs Danger Rich would be dope, whoever, just trying to lively up this track section, got a couple tracks im working on atm boutta drop those in the next couple weeks.

Been writing a bunch lately, one of these days I'll get high enough to lay it on some wax instead of just spitting heat rocks in my car

i feel the same way. one of these beautiful days.

remember that time you and punk were about to freestyle battle in Tinychat..... That would have been fun. Fuck it bruh, mics arnt that expensive, and i've seen cats go from complete trash to being actually pretty good on tracks i.e the homie @OSKAR .

I always wanted to hear Mr Lets Beef on a track tbh. :monkey:

I dont know how to feel about this comment haha

lol bro you know you used to be trash fam. You're motivation for all the newfound aspiring track makers hahaha OWN THAT SHIT

Yea listening back to all the old stuff is pretty cringe i ain't gonna lie. Everything's deleted off existance

^Not ALL, I still have some jacked into that mixtape haha

BUUURN IT. Or, if you have the version with BnB's chorus only send it over so i can re-record..i've been looking for it but can't find it

Yeah, I'm down but most of the time I'm on here, I'm at work so I can't be spitting and have a client walk in like

I love Music though and I know text battling I'm horrible BUT I can write some pretty good lyrics, better then most of these rappers now-a-days so yeah I gotta make time to at least try to make a few songs just so all the time I spent on here learning shit wasn't wasted.

No hate to you stuey but most current mainstream rappers are so bad that this isn't saying much.

That's the point man, the shittiest person on here could murder 2Chainz.
You never know who will like your voice / style / personality, I know the music business is mostly who you know but if you've got talent and you keep grinding, you can make it.

I fully believe Punk (whatever his rap name'll be) will get mainstream success if he keeps putting new content out, just keeps being creative.

Agree w/ this - punk drops some class shit.

People don't realise that success is based off more than ability, you need to be able to market yourself. There are several people that have been on this site that have the ability to have success. They don't market themselves though, or at least correctly. They need to get themselves on that Gary Vaynerchuk grind.

Marketing should be the last thing you think about, the only thing that matters is the music. If you're truly passionate and you've got the skill then just focus on that. You should never go into it dreaming of success, you should go into thinking this is exactly what you want to do and that's why you're doing it. Eventually you'll be able to pay your bills but an artists life is the struggle of trying to make it, always pushing ahead, always having the music be #1 in your mind.

As soon as you think about marketing, agents, money, success, etc. you're creating reasons why not to do it and compromising yourself in the process by trying to appeal to what you think people want to hear, not what you think is dope and want to create.

Of course don't be a sucker and sign the first contract that gets thrown in your face, read it carefully and weigh your options. Sometimes going independent is the better route if it means having more creative control, sometimes mainstream deals work out but all of that goes without saying. In life and everything, don't be stupid.

Passion is the only driving force to personal success, I say personal because it's not and shouldn't be monetary, everything else is secondary in that regards.

I couldn't disagree more. If you define your success as doing a few small gigs here and there and uploading tracks online then great knock yourself out. You said mainstream success though, and that's not mainstream success. Building your brand is everything.

Unless someone walks up to me and offers me a contract for millions of dollars I don't give a shit about mainstream success. I'm not going to compromise what I like doing so I can appear on the radio for morons to enjoy unless it's for a really large amount of money.

I think you can achieve both though. You just have to build a group of people that like your music and you do that through marketing.

Nah. Marketing is everything. You can still create the music you think is dope....you just need to learn how to connect and seek out the audience that has similar interest as you. I see so many talented people- whether it be art, music or writing- that never end up becoming remotely big because they don't sharpen their sales and marketing knowledge. I don't think most people realize they're only a couple skills away from becoming well known/earning a lot of money. Honestly, I realize most people just want to focus on their craft and not be bothered, but sales and marketing are literally the most important skills for success.

learn how to use social media. And I don't mean just dumping links and stuff....each social media platform (twitter, Instagram, youtube) operates differently and you need to learn how to effectively utilize each.

^ Been saying this and I've talked to Punk about that kind of shit
