ok im starting this thread cuz i aint seen one before. negative comments please leave them at the door, this aint about my music. I think everyone here knows something about the rap game or they wouldn't be on this board, some are even rappers posting here so if any of the ogs wanna reply please do. so anyway we all know about the myspace and the siccness. but what are other ways an unsigned artist can spread their music around?
ways for unsigned artists to get their music out there

I think it would help big time by starting off by being featured on some of the popular rappers albums and comps so by the time you do have an album you have some kind of buzz behind you. It probably even means giving away verses, whatever it take to get on albums. Be on any of the rap dvds and sideshow dvds with some kind of personality so people know your significant and dont look desperate. when you do get an album together pay to have good production and good featurings. follow those guideline and paypal me, if not give me a shout out for giving free game. dosnt matter how late in your career this can help. you have to be a hustler because sitting on the couch, in bed and on the computer waiting for an online deal wont cut it. If you dont even like your music than there is no reason someone else is going to put up with your music. too many weak rappers out there so dont even do it if you dont have confidence in yourself on making it or a heart for grinding.
