But others like myself have very different aspirations far removed from the music industry. I may or may not have as much talent as those mentioned above, but music production for me is simply a creative hobby which I enjoy.

I am in my mid thirties, and to be honest the people I usually network with are not MC's and singers and wouldnt want to be. But I am still capable of making good music and contributing to future editions of the mixtape.

I was lucky to make volume 1 thanks to Dave who did a great job pairing beats and MC's, if the "rules" were the same then I wouldn't even have had that opportunity!

Guess I'll have to sit out from now on...

(I reckon some 'good' forum mc's should have to choose from 'good' forum beats to give us non-industry types a fair shout)

send me some beats

Sorry but this just seems like straight pouting to me.

There's been three volumes of this mixtape with forum mc's all over it. I keep hearing people complain of not having any mc's on hand to forum FULL of talented mc's. Im not sure how that even makes sense to yall.

A. send a beat pack to cats on the forum you think would sound good on your beats but DONT be butt hurt if they choose to pass on them. Thats part of puting yourself out there.

B. shoot a beat cd to cats you know in you area that flow.

It's really not that complicated.

Im just like you... This is strictly my hobby. I do it cuz I love it. This is what zones me out when I get home from a stressful day at school or a long day at work.

stickies are overated! im sure one of us will just give this a bump every now and then to keep it up there... i actually have a tendency to ignore the stick threads sometimes

For reals...
After listening to SHWELL I believe he made a great point. Stickys are overrated.

I agree....stickies turn posters lazy....expecting things to be there and things to be handed to them......stickies are also ignored after a while and won't get burn at all.........I'm suprised that "Heading to Iraq" still gets burn after years of survival

but on the other hand ..
if you are deeply involved in the project
digging for the thread gets a bit tedious

yup im lazy lol

My stance on Stickies came from a convo in a sticky from the last project. I do not recall who was bitching (That is how I perceived it), but they said they had no idea the project was complete because they do not check the stickies. It got me thinking as well. I usually do not read stickies more than once, I paid attention to the last project because I was very interested on how these projects unfold.


I say if we have a sticky lets use it for official release info. And keep this one as a reg thread, so it can be bumped daily.

Stickies work for some, and not for others. If there is a sticky and a person fails to remain updated, then it falls on them.

yeah, I dont reallly check sticky's.

Damn...

Is there any way to get his unstickied?

As long as we bump this thread we should be fine.
