nah, the only kind of exposure he got was being humiliated in front of everybody. That had nothing to do with him selling a few beats. He just got the connections because he was down with Def Jam Street team. That's how he could sell some beats, not because somebody saw him getting murked on BET and was like "man, I got hear some beats from this kid." Nobody would have any idea that he made beats just because they saw/overheard him on BET. Heck, I didn't even know this kid made beats until after I read the interview.
I respect where you're coming from, and the reason that I pointed that out in my last post was to get you (and others) to think outside the box.
You're looking at it from only one perspective "He got murdered on 106 by Jin" Let's breakdown how "gettin murdered by Jin" benefitted him.
For starters, I can almost guarantee that he
most definitely had his beat CD's with him in the BET studios and every celebrity judge got a CD, the DJ got a CD, AJ and Free got a CD, and he might've gotten an opportunity to holla at the celebrity guest and slide him a beat CD in between show segments.
With the invention of youtube, him "gettin murdered by Jin" is something that people can watch everyday of the year if you want. When you're
negotiating deals and working with numbers, tv exposure (especially appearing on the #1 tv show on BET) is
leverage. I left out the parts about him appearing on other networks because it didn't pertain to the topic (hip hop production).
And the funniest thing to me is: Who ever said the guy was a rapper in the first place??
Maybe he got on the show in order to get his foot in the door to sell beats.
I think that him appearing on BET was a
perfect example of the quote in my signature.
You might not know the kid made beats, but the people that cut the checks sure do.
