I know there are alot of artists on the siccness...

who here has actually recorded a demo and sent it to a label?

which label?
Did demos a few years back. Def Jam, Universal, Sony, Interscope. The Def Jam A&R was diggin' the fuck out of one of the songs, but told us to change the format to make it a club joint. We told him it wasn't a club song, said we wouldn't change it, and went on our way.

when i was a kid i used to get the addresses from video game magazines and i mailed them game ideas complete with little drawings and what the game would be about and what you would do in it

do i remember if my ideas were used? no. i was a little ass kid.

musta been heartwarming though, im sure my letter was like on the wall at the company or some shit

i just liked video games so much i wanted to see the games i wanted to be made, be made. dunno why i thought theyd just do it, i just felt like they would listen to me.

oh i know man haha..

wasn't talkin about for my own personal demo... just seein what artists are actually making attempts beyond myspace LOL

and hittin the streets with your album may not "work" forever obviously, but you can make a good chunk of change if you know what the fuck you are doing...

sell a thousand copies at 10 a piece

$10,000

in 5th grade we used to have printed money for a class store. me and my partner cooked up this genius idea to print our own money so we could ball out in class. lol. little did we know the teacher kept track of who recieved what. when pulled in the office for interrogation, they pulled the printed sheets out both our backpacks. i forgot about this until a few months ago when my mom was clowning.
