Shady Records Tried to sign dead prez
« on: November 16, 2003, 12:57:23 PM »
In the new XXL (With Jigga on the cover) there's a really good article with dp. They mention that Shady, along with Bad Boy & Roc-A-Fella tried to sign them. That would be some weird shit but I think dp could make some dope shit over beats by Em & Dre.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

They're very, very, very bad businessmen if they refused a deal from any of those 3 labels.

They don't care about money, they care about there music not being diluted.

I respect that a lot. But what about they families? I'm pretty sure that they can make money on a major label, but not be forced into "selling out" and going "mainstream".

Actually people would be surprised how much you can make independent. Lots of indi artists make from 7-10 dollars per album whereas major label artists make like 1-2 if they're lucky. Sometimes it's less than that.

Oh I know that much, but I'm talkin' about pushing units and heavy promotion and what not. Something that a lot of indy artists lack.

True, but they can still make the same amount of money if they have a solid fanbase (like dp & many underground artists do).

If you think cats on Indi's are broke, go to the South. Lil Flip, Master P, Baby, etc all were balling before they were major. dp has a following and a fan base. They're gonna sell consistent regardless.
