Does Young Money own Big Von & KMEL?

- Start date
Who in this thread (Artist) have actually submitted music to KMEL or scheduled a meeting to to talk to the program director ? It seems alot of people are just speaking how they feel.. not what they know. As for the fans/listeners on this site how many of you have called the radio stations (Continuously) to request or E-quest the music you like and when you did was the station even in possession of the song you requested ? I would like to know.
Yup, look at Erk Tha Jerk for example. Dude had a local hit song, no one can doubt that it was a hit. After that... no follow through to capitalize on it. I hope he either got with a team that knows what they're doing or got rid of his current team after that. Horrible mismanagement. Then again, maybe it was just a fluke.

Bay artist need to branch out of there region... if you have a song in rotation here then its time to take it to other stations personally and talk to the program directors (LA, ATL, TX, MID WEST, ect ect).... develop personal relationships... it doesn't just happen from a couple of spins in your region, it happens from foot work (OUT SIDE THE BAY) and using the spins in your region as tangibles thats shows people like your music.
^^^ This is for indi artist.

and if enough people buy the artist you like...good chance you will hear them on the radio and brake the cycle of hearing the songs you dont like on the radio BUT Wayne. Em, and other are the ones selling millions because PEOPLE ARE BUYING THE MUSIC.... thats what im getting at. If you sold 1,000,000 bet you would be on the radio....but your not so as a indi artist you need to find what you need to do if you want play.... its possible as long as you cover what needs to be covered as a indi artist.
I like this thread... I hope it wakes people up that want to chose rap as a career. If your not willing to follow suit to have your music exposed to the masses independently, or make music that can get you a record deal.... then do it for fun and don't complain why you cant get any love on the radio or from major labels. As for listeners, its easy to turn off the radio...it solves the problem you might have with the same song being played...but there will be millions of kids that will still call in and request those same songs you hate to hear...
p.s. - people have to figure out whether they want to be a artist...or a consumer on this site. Cant be both or it just gets all confusing. IMO

Artists just have to be realistic, and try not to think too big. I think the problem is that a lot of artists are watching what the majors are doin' too much, and trying to compete with that. We'll always be at a disadvantage when it comes to the money they spend verses ours. That doesn't mean technology and innovation hasn't put independent artists in a great place to make enough money to live on, and do what you love doin'.
Also, I'd say every artist is a consumer because they're a fan of whatever genre they're representing. If they weren't then they wouldn't be doing it.
you dont get it. the songs i listed were just a few songs that came to mind but could be any song im not suggesting those songs as a playlist. the point is the radio stations decide the playlist and thats what people have to choose from. lets try this again with another make believe playlist:
spongebob squarepants "crabby patties"
bob manobb "say whattttt"
jg wentworth "877 cashnow"
sleeptrain "ticket to a better night sleep"
ok now try to follow this. if this was what kmel was playing, then these are the songs that would be requested. if you cannot grasp this, i give up.lol

You are out of touch with reality my friend. Those songs, just like the songs you are crying about, keep following me here, HAVE REAL FUCKING MONEY BEHIND THEM!
What don't you get about that? They are able to reach audiences all over the world because guess what, they have the money to reach them.
Lets say, and this is very hypothetical of course, you get a song on the radio? What is that going to do for you? How would you respond and capitalize off of it?
You think $10,000 is going to let you do that? $25,000 won't be enough. It is your game that is watered down, not the music folks....
