Wow, what a thread lol. i always miss the good stuff when it first starts lol. nah but props to axis for tryin to put us up on game. i know alot of yall probly just went straight to the contact info, but you should definitely check out the advice cause he dropped some knowledge.

as far as the contacts go, i dont feel like my music's what they wanna hear right now, so why even waste their time, but even if i thought it was, i definitely wouldnt be callin them up, especially if those are personal numbers cause thats not a good look to be buggin somebody on their personal time.

Real Axis didnt write any of that, he pulled it from some article written by someone else. I bet if you googled a sentence it would come up on like 1000 forums.

Real Axis doesnt actually have any contact with those people, if he did best believe he wouldnt be so quick to post them.

Will You Guys Give This Nigga A Break! F Uc K! Dude Put Out Something He Thought Would Help. At Least He's Puttting In The Effort To Do Something For Someone Other Than Himself. But Guess Some Of You Selfish Folks Can't See That.
 
i have a question though...I live in Australia, I cant comfortably fly to LA and set up meetings, although I probably will do so in the near future...

Would taking a shot at contacting some emails still be a dumb as sh!t move?

i believe emailing would be a better move than calling.

It never hurts to politley query. I personally never had any luck with A&Rs. Thats why i went the mixtape route, i find it a lot more successful fukin with DJs and dealing with artists directly rather than goin thru A&Rs and record companies.
 
Good looking fam thats what ur suppose 2 do help other u cant get anywhere by keep info hidden from others..1

IMO a better approach would be to shoot some emails to the artists/major songwriters/mgmt, especially the ones that A&R has history with/oversees and try to make great songs (or even remixes) with them. With myspace this is easy as hell to do, theres also workshops, showcases, and networking events poppin all the time in spots like ATL, NYC, and LA so again, if youre truly wanting this, it's not hard. if these folk wont take you seriously, an A&R certainly wont either. if the songs are hot, more than likely the A&R will catch wind of it, if not, then you have leverage compared to just cold-contacting.

The thing that trips me out is this, most of the folks here arent about their business yet if you are getting gassed over something like this...you come at them thirsty with no track record or serious cosign from someone big youre just asking to get treated like a groupie as far as points/publishing are concerned compared to if you had fell back, built a buzz in your area, and got some sort of representation in the industry that can vouch for you. just my 2 cents based on my experiences.

Good advice, was actually thinking about that just earlier. Like over myspace try to establish some relationships with the artists and sognwriters that the a&r/exec..etc has history with.

Good post
