    Better mainstream music in 2008-2009? Trackmasters return!

    Definitely! I misused the word "hustle". I was referring to the sound (hustling to get guitar players to play on tracks for free etc).

    True that $300,000 certainly helps. With the right hustle and talent you can match what these guys did with just less than 2% of their hefty budget (<$6000).

    Failure is Good!

    I do quite a bit of writing on my blog, hence why I am rather quiet on ill. But a fellow member (dj loccdown) recommended I share this with illmuzik and I thought why didn't I do that in the first place! Here were are: -------- FAILURE IS GOOD! Just thought I would drop some thoughts on...

    Polow Da Don using stock GarageBand loops?

    am glad illmuzik people haven't reacted as crazily about this as most people have. In most cases 99% of the people don't care how the music is made, as long as it works. Respect to Polow.

    Polow Da Don using stock GarageBand loops?

    http://buzzcuts.uproxx.com/hip-hop/videos/behind-the-scenes/564 The video was originally on youtube but it has been removed. Anyway am very suspicious about this video. I am still on the sideline about this, because anyone can easily recreate the riffs from Usher's single and then import them...

    To all Britts...Thank You!

    I still don't see the hype. Yes she is a very talented singer but for some reason I don't see her as a big big star, which she already is. Maybe is it her association with Pop Idol, i don't know. Her album in my opinion was ok and nothing new. Sound wise it just fits in with everything else...

    Warner Music Group hopes to charge people a flat fee for downloaded p2p music

    interesting. I have to say it sounded absurd at first but honestly I have no idea where this is going, I shall keep a close watch.

    Rebranding an artist to make $$$- real life example of artists signed to Interscope.

    preach! i think if anyone is thinking of doing music for a living, they need to take make use of this, or at least if they feel it to be unethical, which I really don't think it is, acknowledge its the existence.

    Sick of the music industry. Jaded? I sure as hell am.

    Damn, its good that we get all this info about how mad the industry is, but I guess it dont really hit you till you are there yourself. Like Chrono said, it aint the only industry that's cut throat, there are many others besides the entertainment biz. Mr G. I have to wonder, are there ever any...

    Indie music-- profitable? Riddle?

    am going to be dumb here and ask a silly question, how does a tax write off of a loss become a win situation for the investor? he has put money in and lost it right...?

    Do you "see" music?

    thats sick man! I seen some documentaries of this on tv. People that have it tend to have perfect pitch too, it's a rich way of experiencing music. But i have always wondered, do you guys actually see the colours as you would a green tree? Like you literally see a colour or number in front of...

    Can someone explain to me what this is? YaHHHH!!

    YouTube - Soulja Boy Tellem - YAHHH - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO Where is the industry going? lol. I will admit to getting wild to Souljah Boy's "Crank That" in the club, and probably will get wild to this too. But this shit really is silly. Very funny but very silly too. I find it amazing that...
