Whats good fam. I've been meaning to make this thread but I'm just getting the time. I'm sure this can help alot of you cats that are trying to do something serious with this music. I want to try and keep the list with labels that accept unsolicited material. Feel free to add anything. I'll be adding more as I get the time.

Yeah nice list. i got most of them already. The thing i wanted to ask people was.. Do you guys send them beat cd`s without a vocal tag or watermark? bcos on one hand its safer to watermark ur beats, but sounds annoying and on the otehr hand someone might straight jack ur beat... from what ive heard it happens quite alot.

By pimpdawg156 Sat Mar 18, 2006 10:59 pm
what is a watermark.

By PennyDimes Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:15 am
huh? a watermark or vocal tag is something producers throw on top of their beat to stop people from stealing thier loops or entire beats. basically just a voice over on the beat.

By pimpdawg156 Sun Mar 19, 2006 10:27 pm
oh aight. well i dont think you should put that when you send to labels.

Tags should be outlawed!!! :twisted:

An Intro is cool IMO - Like "This a bboutit beat" and then it starts.. that's good enough.

I hate tags when cats give me their demos - I have even heard FULL website addresses and home addresses with pagers and 2ways too!
