10 KEY Steps to Shopping Beats!!!!

Start on an underground level to get your name out there. After that, the rest will come to you. Big labels won't open up an envelope from someone they don't know. Small labels will. Also, if you are known by underground Mc's that have access to labels, they themselves will hand the material to them personally.. and their more open to listen to it because the artist has an interest...No need for an entertainment lawer. Remember, walk before you crawl or else the game will be expensive to play.

dont trust anybody......copy right your shit. BTW. not sure if some of this shit was mentioned, i dont feel like reading the thread over.

anyways, keep everything business like........discuss prices, your process, or whatever, from the beggining. Its easier to discuss the rules, and everything, before you dig youself into a hole.

Know your limits, but dont let anybody else know them.

work your ass off. Dont be a pssy. If you gotta stand on the corner to get your shit out, do it. If you gott to break into a college computer lab to print your flyers out for free...........do it.

It takes money, to make money.

Image is everything.

everybody else wants what someone else has. Especially dumb ass emcees. Use this to your advantage to create a demand for you tracks. Make remixes if you have to, put accepallas over your shit; pass it out, get your name out.

Market yourself. Who gives a damn, about some damn "label name for yourself" advertise your own name......make people ask for you, not "boner records"...........unless you have a ridiculous cool label name, Like murder inc. and can catch some flack and get into a beef to boost your sales and get your name on the map.

Bad publicity is better than no publicity..........

get yourself shot.....

stalk A&R reps, and label producers.

Practice makes perfect....work on your shit day and night, youre gonna get better, even if youre the best.

**** that. if u are posting someone elses works please leave a link or a metion of there name. Thats simple courtesy. U have done that before with interviews and u should have provide links to the authors just so they get credit. Just simple respect.

^^^^^^^^^do unto others as you would want them to do to you.

I heard that you should not submit individual beats. You should submit songs or your beats with a rapper on it. Anybody can make a beat, they want to hear a hit.
