A nugget of advice... damn near 80% of your life is a popularity contest.
From the job you work, to the beats you sell... to the Presidency of the United States.
Be as popular as you can. There are genuinely nice popular people... and there are a lot of a holes.
Kanye is popular, 50 Cent is popular... buttholes to most.
Barack Obama is popular, Oprah is popular... great humanitarians to most
Be cut throat if you're going to be in a business like the music business because !!!
Nice guys finish last if they always put others first.
good advice rome, same with women, those ******* rather stay with mother****ers who smack them upside down than stay with a nice guy, hoes wanna be smacked ? wanna be dominated ? hell, if you askin for it i can provide hoe

Honestly it sounds like a great idea to keep a thread going where people are rated, almost like a contest but completely for "bragging rights" so to speak. Rules are you can only enter one piece of music per week, and the only people that can really be judges would be renowned fp producers, or people that have enough respect throughout fp.. I get how some people might think that it's a "wack" idea because of the competitive nature, but honestly it would be a very interesting thing to happen to this site, (not saying that it does not already have interesting qualities) or any site for that matter. I say we push this idea people. It can be very innovative and very productive. Not to mention the fact that it could bring out a lot of underrated producers.
problem with the whole flower thing is this, you givin her flowers, buy her fancy shit, she think you tryna impress her, like you wanna better your chances at gettin layd so she thinks she's in control, you don't gotta earn her approval u kno, it needs to be there from the start, you gotta think ''im the man these hoes want'' dudes need to stop puttin women on a podium, pussy is like a golden medaille, but you gotta act like its bronze, i like your way of thinkin rome
^^^Wait to get married (live with baby mamma etc). Enjoy your youth.
Bandcoach made some nice suggestions on rating people's stuff about 7 pages back. I'm down.
Added:I went back and copied it, dig:
I'm happy to sort something out if folks want me to - it just takes some time and some support from everyone.
Step 1:
Nominate your preferred judges by username only in a PM to me, 3 should do it; seems to be a good way of stopping folks from getting antsy or even just plain rude about the nominations......
Step 2
If you are nominated, I'll get to you once I have a list of names and tally of the votes; you will then be asked if you are interested in participating. I will move down the list if I get a negative response
Step 3
I'll get the nominating thread (where you submit your best shot for consideration) setup for the selected judges
Step 4:
I'll coordinate the final FP's-Got-Talent thread with the admins/mods. It will be in the Showcase area. If it is not started by me or a mod, it is not the real deal.......

You know what man you are right. There's too many unmotivated and disrespectful people in this new generation that have no idea what it takes to actually achieve something even remotely close to their goals. It's a sad sad age.. I still say that there has to be a way.. Haha.
Believe it or not... at one time FP members wanted other FP members to succeed so they all could use each other as a network.
... then it became every man for himself. It's still that way now mostly.
so basically FP took on republican ideals? lololol
I think the luv is still around, a diff vibe in the "knowledge" sections of the site. Cats will help u, unless you're asking a dumb question that can be found in the stickies.Thats tragic. Where'd the love go?
Out the window with placement money I guess...
man i'm not going to trust any new user without beats (engineer or A&R skills) for while. Kinda miss James, he would go loco on the e-beef thing but at least he made beats.yeah, there's about 35 republican users on this forum....all created by the same person tho
don't ask...long story
