So, i got a meeting with an A&R from Capitol Records coming soon
Just sounds funny that he seemed to be hyped as this big dude from Capitol, and now it's like he's not that big anymore with his "little roster." Heck, Zutaut had a little roster, but one of the bands was Guns N' Roses. Did he actually tell you to meet him at the mothership on Hollywood... -
So, i got a meeting with an A&R from Capitol Records coming soon
Let me guess... at Hollywood and Vine, right? lol. Why was there Capitol A&R when Bone is signed to Epic which is a division of Sony? If I was the region rep for Epic I would not have let a Capitol AnR at my concert. Unless they are friends... but then somebody from the label would still... -

So, i got a meeting with an A&R from Capitol Records coming soon
Cold Truth, When is your next meeting with this person? How long do your discussions last? At what time of the day does he schedule you? I'm just wondering, because that can mean something. It sounds like he's doing what a rep is supposed to do. The thing is that he is also assuming... -

Craig Gantt asked: Demo packages depend on the genre of music. In punk music, for example, a slick package may not garner the necessary "respect" from idiot AR's. In any case, remember that it is generally NOT the package that seals the deal, it is the quality of the connection that gets...- God

Groucho Marx asked: Some rappers suck at producing, hence the need for producers. That's why some producers have songs ready to go in a format that is made for radio, like a to the pt. 3 minute song. It depends on how good they think the beat is. That also depends on the price of the...- God

Mase gets sonned on HOT97 radio
N.U.G., did you get recruited by Roc-A-Fella's street/internet promotions team or something? That's not a disrespectful question, it just seems that you just happen to put plugs for The Diplomats in supposedly inconspicuous places. Like: "speaking of the Diplomats... here's a link to their...- God

Roc-A-Fella/ J Records Stole my Boys Beat!
It's simple. I thought I conveyed that, it's not your friend's beat. He didn't write the original music. He got screwed because he didn't protect himself and hold his cards close to him. God- God

Distribution Contract: Shady or Legit??
If you're having it looked by a good lawyer, then you probably shouldn't be posting the items of the contract online. I don't think the AR rep would like that. On top of that, why is he not signing you to a record contract. A distribution contract? What's your history of success in selling...- God
