we've been considering settin' up a battle via tha net were unsigned talent can expose their abilities with a copy written track which would be voted on by you. some of the shit we have to iron out would be:
1. lenght of time to enter contest
2. regulating voting
3. protection of the artist's rights and music
4. prizes

wut we had in mind for tha grand prize is production of a new single or maybe re-production of tha winning track if its supa blaze. manufacturing of cd-5's and vinal along with service to record pools for that single.(BDS certified of course) distibution of spin numbers to major record company scouting departments and a&r departments. and maybe some small prize change.

any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Do it every six months. With a major forum like this I think this should be operating procedure. It'll keep niggas in the WEST on they toes. Each competition I think will naturally progress and be better than the last. It'll bring music minded niggas to the forum, and some fake, but the real will recognize the real. It'll bring more fans to the forum, who then gets exposed to all the wonderful product all the labels on the Siccness has to offer. The Siccness should pay for advertising within the CDs they sell, ya feel me? complete the loop, if it's not that way already. I think the established niggaz already on the Siccness should have a hand in this. Look out for the lil' niggaz, but at the same time make em' work for it.

Doc and Green Eyes- This is something I could do. This rap shit is deep in my veins and it will stay that way. No one will stand in my way to put something out set em up and thell fall before the King Of The Underworld. Also Like doberman said it keeps em on there toes plus you have a cat like me who stays in Ohio and has talent for days. I have a battle contest comming up the 5th of October at the Radisson Ballroom and the title is mine I dont even need to know who is in it because they arent me and theyll lose in a second. Its all about winning fuck having a its okay ill win next time attitude. There may not be a next time. I went off on a tangent for a minute but fuck lets do this. Peace Doc And Green Eyes.

That sounds like a bet. I think a separate site should be done for this. Im East Coast (DC), so I think anyone should be eligible. I also think there should be a battle of the producers on the same page. I do web design, as you can see below graphic design, but Im solely an artist and slight producer. The catch is, 1. I'll set up the site, and someone else manages or 2. I do the site, manage, and you pay but only like a one time $10/15 registration. this also includes a free graphic for you and maybe a beat to spit over, but I still have ownership 3. Or Mr. Doctor, I send you an ADAT, and you know the rest...............

^^^^^ Good Idea Calico nice Ill pay a 10$-$15 fee for a beat to spit and a graphic. Will the beat be your own personal or will other people use the same beat?

Ay Ep, they will be CALICO beats. Here's the deal, if this thing kicks off, I post a few beats on the site, and it's first come first served. Once a beat is taken, I will delete it. Also, I will post some mainstream instrumentals too. Y'all ain't takin all of my sh*t!lol
I will still have ownership of the beat, you can use it on the site, or you can use it for your demo to solicit promotionally, but not for resale. Graphics are your for free. This graphic below is made for ShawnB as an example, but he is nowhere to be found. It was free, so it wasn't anticipated and is simple, instead of his would you like your name on it. You can have for free. My heated images are $40-$50.

Ay Green-Eyes, as far as the voting, some people know each other, I know a few on here on a business/personal level. So the biases will be crazy. We need to put a poll on the board, promote the site, and have the world vote. We just end the tournament by a certain date. Do this out of 60, then 30, then 15, then 1, or something similar.


Aiight, let me get back to work

This is a great fuckin idea for real. Beats are going to be provided for this contest?

About the voting....yea, there are way too many dickriders on this site. Voting from only within the siccness would be nothing but drama.
