Here's the thing. Those placements aren't free. Those placements include signing a publishing deal with someone, for a crazy percentage of my rights, for anywhere between 3-5 years.

Are you saying people can't get placements unless they sign a pub deal? I'm confused.

So yeah, I got a placement. $3000 in the pocket...BUT AT WHAT COST???

So you can only receive placements if you sign a publishing deal?

There's no way you can get a placements without a publishing deal?
 
Damn 18 pages...lol...I obviously haven't read this entire thread, but Troup, if you decide to leave music, then I wish you good luck with your future ventures man.

Honestly, if you have as many connections as you claim, then it either comes down to your music or the strength of those connects. If those connects are tight, then it has to be the music.

If I could make one suggestion to you, it would be to simplify. Some of your **** is just way too cluttered to easily place a vocal over it. That would be my one suggestion to you, musically.

Anyway, good luck bro





I've had people in high places tell me that my music is great. It's that they personally made more money off of placing someone that was signed to them.

I wouldn't sign, so there goes my placement opportunity.



When my music was the problem, people told me, flat out. The people who I've dealt with industry wise ain't sugar coated NOTHING.





And why are people thinking that I'm bitter because I "couldn't make it" into the major label structure? I made the BUSINESS DECISION NOT TO PURSUE THE MAJORS, because I feel as if I've found a better business opportunity.

But people don't understand how there could be ANYTHING that's a better alternative than GETTING A PLACEMENT!!!!


To me there is...and to me it's what i'm doing with IndustrySound.com. That's why I say if this doesn't work, then I don't really have anywhere else to go. Because the way I see it, this IS the final frontier...at least for me it is...

Usually when I make a plan, I can beyond that plan, to the next few moves I can possibly make.


With the "radicality" of this plan, I don't know what's new to try beyond that. Because I've done everything else that I know how...
 
I'm on FP from 9am to 5pm...working hours.



again...why is my statement about my pursuits, something that got your panties all crunchy?
lol dude you are a complete dumbass. Do you not know what we have been talking back and forth about for the last 3 hours? Its definitely not about your pursuits lol.

Do you really think I've been going back and forth with you because your quitting? lol

You're going back and forth with me because "the way that I say things" and "the way that I come across" hurts your feelings.



I understand that. What I don't understand is why you're such a sensitive, whiny little girl.

The opportunities that I've been presented with have all come with the requirement of signing a publishing agreement with that individual.

I'm just speaking of my personal experiences. Those are opportunities that I have made the choice to not pursue, because they are in direct conflict with my goals and priorities.

Im not sensitive. Do you really think my feelings are getting hurt from what you are saying?? Is that honestly something you think? I'm talking about how you say things because you're a dick who thinks your better than everybody else, when you're not and it gets annoying.

lol...I know one thing...if this damn website is anything short of the virtual coming of Jesus featuring Jay-Z, I'm going to catch complete and total hell.


I'm going home to continue coding.
 
Done replying to this thread.

Seriously though, good luck with the site.

Obviously that is a crap offer.
 
my god... why are you guys still mind-wrestling about this shyt? Is it at all needed for every JTroup thread to turn into a hate fest?

Placements or not, He's chas'n his dream his way... There's record exec's. that would love to rap or sing but found there good at managing one instead, There's guitar players better than Lenny Kravitz but are A&R's... who cares about what someonelse does for there own reasons. Troups going to Get Rich or Die Try'n... it's obvious...
There's some noob that needs help with his FL demo...go do that...SMH @ 19 pages in 1 day

Guess you didn't read my last post.

Sensitive pretty much means your feelings get hurt over little things. And whatever reason you think it is that I've been arguing with you about, I doubt anybody would think somebody would get sensitive over it.

So by me arguing with you, that automatically means I'm sensitive? Every time you argue with someone on here, does it mean you're sensitive? Most likely thats a no. I seriously doubt you would think someone would get sensitive over what we've been talking about.
 
Because your success is money..

Some people just want to deliver a message.



But that's just it...my success ISN'T money. But that is definitely one part of it, because I am in the business of music. And business success is measured on 2 things...revenue and profit.



Hopping on the bike. I need to wash dishes.





lol...and u know what? This whole thread made me realize that the purpose of me feeling like "i'm going to quit if this doesn't work", was to make me treat this venture with the seriousness, thoroughness, and urgency that it takes to MAKE IT WORK.




MAKE IT HAPPEN...cuz i got sick of WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN.




Good Night FP. Another one in the record books.
