Okay so I go into the local F.Y.E and Iam looking through cd'. Iam looking and I see the Trigginometry cd and thats cool, but when I go for First Degree The D.E. there is none to be found. Why is this? Granted Lynch was popular for Season and Loaded but hardly anyone follows Lynch anymore (at least out here) why is that? Is it because of his previous success with Season and Loaded? That would make sense, but at the same time no one really bumps lynch anymore, and this is the same for other cats like SKinny Pimp and Koopsta Knicca. How do they get nationwide distribution and does it cost more for it or is it in a deal thats signed on the spot? Just wondering hwo it all works.

just cus you got nation wide distribution doesnt mean your getting distributed nationwide.............
if you got nation wide dist.,that just means the distribution company has plugs on gettin your shit thru out the U.S.,but that doesnt mean automaticly that your shits gonna get sent thru out the U.S............thats were your hard work comes in touring and shit to get known,so mothafuckas know you exist and they want your shit...........

I went back readin a lil......There are distributions that are jus regional N some can go national. Like they said^^^^ its the demand that gets national. IF the CD can sell, the stores will order more CDs. IF the CD does no sell, then they will not order more. <---Jus because the 'music store' orders the CD doesnt mean you get payed, it HAS TO SELL N order for you/artist N the distributer to get paid. Because the 'music store' CAN return the ordered CDs. Which means all 3 of you lost money, which iz not good for you N the distributor. Also can lead the 'music store' not wanting to deal with the Distributors- as the Distibutors dont want to deal with you too.
Ive noticed for advices I have read about Distribution, try out a regional distribution 1st, but do your homework N Nfo about how well the Distributors work. yknow will they push your CD on to gettin sold to the 'music store'. So it is your job to promote yourself-get heard-makin a cause of demand of music N other regions.
Example-IF you Bay artists, start to get well known N The Bay, then state of Cali, well known N the whole West Coast, workin you way to Midwest (Houston, Kansas City N Denver), Then nationwide. Thats how you can start off with touring too, you dont need to tour national right away unless, again, if there iz a demand.
IF someone can correct of things are wrong or can add something to it, that would be appreciated even with myself, I jus giving you of what I read N understand.
