1) Same corporate take on music happened in the 60's, what - since it's 50 years ago, it was "better" then? They were ghostwriting bullshit and bubblegum pop back then too.

2) This is a "hating on the industry" thread. I understand. Then I ask if people actively push their shit to agents and managers on another thread, and I get excuses instead of "shit... man, this looks like something I should do." People knock the industry but they're not even knockin' on the doors.

Maybe that's why crazy people like Kanye "make it." They're crazy enough to keep pushing and knocking on doors that most people with a normal temperament would just shy away from. (That's a generalization on my part, but it's to make a point.)

Anyway, you told me about your personal situation in another post, and I understand. I don't know what to do/say about it. But if you want to make it - people should at least TRY to knock on the doors instead of thinking that because they have a demo or myspace page the entire industry will be coming to THEM.

It won't.

lol, your right, I was drinking and bitter.

Don't know if that's a sleight of sarcasm at the occasional tittie-bar martini lunch I have or if you're being genuine.

You've got talent. Depends what you do with it.

ive had a thought on this whole rappers trying to sing thing...
Odb couldnt sing for shit but that certainly didnt stop him, the funny thing is it worked.
thats because he was a dope cat...real cat. Everybody knew old dirtys story. Lol we knew not to take him seriosly on that note...and that what was special about odb. He did things musically that i wouldnt have the thought and insite OR THE BALLS to do. He actually made up words and used them in his raps which was hilarious. Lol
