i hear you

but how much of the business aspect (of the music industry) have you researched and tried to pick up...the common saying is that business is 95% - which leaves only 5 for the music you make...and after you get over the hump of basement rapper, you realize that EVERYONE can rap...its overwhelming, but at the same time, how is it any different from boxing...you get to a certain level, and everyone can perform

the diffence is even if you put out your cd on your own besides the internet , you need to know some one.. some kinda plug., and even on your own you need to spread that shit around which most people will not even check causethey dont know u or it seems like spam... if 2pac was online .. not known and had no money for good promo no one would know him,,, yea he would have that 3000 downlods but thats it....im really not saying for anyone here to stop what thier doing.. go for it.. but as for me i been raping for years,,, i have ''never at peace''' 1-4 hosted by a famous dj which i never had to pay for cause she thought i was somthing... and the last 3 cds i made are really good and its just not working for me.... my rap is dead end comment is for me .. not to anyone here
