GeneHilbert	Date: January 3, 2007 @ 10:43 AM Oh yes! that's going to happen.....
RaXDaCapo	Date: January 3, 2007 @ 3:18 PM lol, gene u crazy.... Hosted by DJ Vlad... He's a big time DJ and he can help our group get our name out there..And to aslo help put a bit of a spotlight on my hometown because there's a lot of talented musicians out, and this is a relatively small town. Even thou back in the WW2 days, it was somewhat big because the Axis Power wanted to bomb us. The golden Gate bridge was made here (Sorry for the pointless History lesson) Artwork for what... I really am not going to answer that. Let's just say that diskmakers while it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, its not cheap. This project can't afford to make a cover on cd program or microsoft publisher. We're going for a more professional look. This was just made official in the last couple days, but from our side there are more than plenty songs that we can choose from.. I'm not sure, we're just tryna get as many submissions as we can... Then by the time the deadline approaches, we can listen to them and pick the ones that we like.. We really don't have a set number. Proceeds will go back into the pot and will be used for other projects.. The sales is mainly gonna be made in the local area. We will have copies for sale online too.. And being that it is hosted by a major dj, it will be heard by people in the industry. We prefer originals.. Goal... for us.. is to finally get our music furthur the back room that we've been makin it out of for the last almost 7 years. In general, is to bring a spotlight to not only those in our area but to any other person with talent and that is serious about what they do.. the radio has been lacking quality music for soo long.. Playin the same thing over and over and over.. We're tryna give the people what they should be listenin to. Real songs, great songs, from Artist who should be out there. Benefits from participating.. hmm.. for starters, your music get out there... Last year, we submitted a song for a mixtape.. Now, that same person is interested in us being on another mixtape of his. We'll be puttin out more mixtapes, but if this one goes well, there will definitely be more of this magnitude. hope that helps... I have a feelin more questions will be followed. I like that quote Opposum..
shadowself	Date: January 3, 2007 @ 10:51 PM I knew before even clicking this thread that Gene would be all over it like stink on a baby.
shadowself	Date: January 3, 2007 @ 10:56 PM Looks like we're getting a deal here! People who want to be on his mix tape on MySpace have to pay him a $200 submission fee! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=2985625 On 3rd Jan 2012, RaXDaCapo said: Last year, we submitted a song for a mixtape.. Now, that same person is interested in us being on another mixtape of his. Of course he is, you're paying him to be on it! How much profit did you make from being featured on the last one? How many did not make the cut and are out $50-$200?
RaXDaCapo	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 12:27 AM Actually, we didn't pay to get on that one. We submitted a song and were suppose to pay but we didn't have the money at the time so we were gonna wait for the next one... I don't really know how it happened but one of my peoples decided to go on his site and sees our name.. We bought a copy and sure enough, our song was on there. this time around, he's letting people vote on who should be on his next mixtape.. How many people didn't make the cut and are out~?? His was first come first serve so everybody on there wasn't assed out. We did it because we need the promotion. Just to get 1 song on a DJ Vlad mixtape, it normally cost 1500..
imemine	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 12:33 AM I love this shit! Send me a picture of yourself holding up a sign reading my name first, then we can talk. The sign will read: Mike Hunt
RaXDaCapo	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 12:40 AM hmm.. If I did that it would way enimemi.. i guess that's Italian for Eminem... Anyways, I think it'll be one of the last post I make in this bulletin.. If you're serious about it, get at me.. If not, thats coo I'm a just keep it movin.. But you're all quite entertaining tho, I'll give u that..
kingo	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 10:20 AM ...like stink on a baby. Hey, man. Babies smell good.
kingo	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 10:22 AM Oh, also, if anybody wants to they can send me only TWENTY-FIVE dollars. I'm taking less than this guy. And you can send me a song email, too, or whatever.

And you can send me a song email, too, or whatever. Sure, price is lower but what are the benefits~?? This is a serious project, and if you're not serious about this music, then there's no need to reply.
shadowself	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 4:45 PM What are the benefits to this? What kind of profit margin are we looking at? I mean... we would be investing $50 in the manufacture of this CD and also into future products by DJ Vlad even if we're not on them. DJ Vlad is using the music of others to promote himself and to make money. Obviously the musicians who contribute will share in the profits, right? No WAY can some guy just say "Hey, pay me fifty bucks, I'll consider putting you on a CD that has no original input by me, I'll sell it and keep the coin and use it for my future projects which you will probably also have no part of", right? I mean, that would be insane!
Distilled1	Date: January 4, 2007 @ 4:47 PM but people do it all the time...

I mean, that would be insane! Once we pay DJ Vlad to host the mixtape (which was already done), he already got his cut. It's up to us (the ones puttin this project together) to make that back and hopefully more.. Because his name is on it, it's already going to draw people's interest because he is a well known DJ. When it comes to the 50 bucks, it's not pay me 50 and we'll consider.. On here, it's if you're willin to put the money up, let us hear what you got.... if we like what we hear, then send the money and you're already on... Plain and simple.. There's no consideration here.. Usually some people do first come first serve, or have contest, there are those who tell u to pay just to be considered.. In this case, if everything works out the way it should, we'll benefit off of Vlad moreso than him benefiting from us. This is our mixtape... he's just hosting it. The 50 dollars that everybody else is paying is going towards the maufacturin of this particular mixtape. The artist benefit just as much if not more than the DJ himself.. If Vlad puts something out, his mixtapes are listened to by a wide audience and not only that, also by people in the industry... I'm not saying that you'll be a celebrity overnight or anything but that will definitely help in creating a buzz.. Even though he would be promoting himself, he's also promoting you through his name. His name holds more weight. We gonna sell it, and put that money aside for the next project. Of course you kno that we're gonna do that. On a DJ Vlad mixtape, he charges about 1500 to get on... now if u actually make it onto those mixtapes is a mystery of its own.. Money... the musicians that contribute.. will we share the profit with them~?? The musicians that contribute will get a certain amount of copies of the mixtape, plus one for themselves.. What they do with them is entirely up to them.. So it could mean yes and it could mean no. The musicians won't be the only ones investing.. A Majority of this is comin out of our pockets.. What we get back, we're not puttin in our pockets either. We're gonna keep the ball rollin. If we just said ok, everybody can get on for free, it would probably be forever until this mixtape ever saw the light of day.. Would it be fair for you to spend an X amount of dollars to get someone to host ya mixtape, another x amount of dollars to get it manufactured, another x amount for a couple guest appearences by an established artist, an x amount of dollars to keep the electric runnin so we can record and make these tracks, then when it comes out, spendin an x amount (small x but and x none the less) just to send them to different internet radio startions, college radio stations, hiphopsites, so they can listen and perhaps write a review on it.. And then you time spent doin what we can to promote this project, gettin cd's put up in record stores and barber shops, etc..etc.. While everyone else just submits tracks and hopes that they get on the mixtape.. For some people, it may take a while to put together good songs, but we're doin that AND everything else that you just read.. After reading all that, do you see why that it's 50~?? But like I said, if you sell the cd's that u get, you should be able to make that back, and profit.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: January 5, 2007 @ 3:26 AM Most people here griped about paying 5 dollars for the Halloween Battles etc, so I don't think you'll get many takers for 50 notes, most people here are just in in for da love, not da coin. But good Luck anyway, I'm not saying your invitation isn't worth it, it may well be for those willing to make that kind of investment...
RaXDaCapo	Date: January 5, 2007 @ 10:33 AM I understand that... I'm in it for the love too, don't get me wrong. It's just that we're tired of making hot music that doesn't go farther than 2 rooms. Now we got a chance for much more people to hear us and hear what we been doin... more importantly, hear what they been missin out on.
shadowself	Date: January 6, 2007 @ 3:28 PM Ah, okay. I read it as "send $50 and you may be on a mixtape" instead of "send your music, if we like it, you can pay us $50 to definitely be on the tape". Sorry about that.
RaXDaCapo	Date: January 12, 2007 @ 3:52 PM It's no big deal...

I got a beat up on my page.. Download and do whatever u want to it.. The best song gets a spot on the mixtape.. My friend also put 4 of his beats up on his myspace page for download (www.myspace.com/thebeatmonsterinc). The winner of that one will have that song featured on our mixtape... send all tracks to: locotymeline@gmail.com
RaXDaCapo	Date: February 24, 2007 @ 5:19 PM Reh Dogg, that name looks familiar... There was a dude on youtube with a funny video... I think he had the same name..
