Well I already "Play with the Big Dogs". And I'm closing my account end of the month unless something big happens, because of this.
if you play with the "Big Dogs", then you can only use PMP for "promotion". I mean, otherwise you are competing with many who are better than you, do it for less.........but in the end don't have the "connections", right? so if you use your brain, PMP is the WORST place for you to be.

1) Don't know anyone who has yet gotten a placement thru PMP, not saying that no one has, but closest I've heard was SleepDeez was being reviewed, didn't hear any follow up.
thats strange. I mean, the site's success will grow with every REAL WORLD PLACEMENT they can establish (or better said, their "environment" makes possible).
so with no SUCCESS STORIES........there is no PMP, unless...

2) There's currently close to 700(if not more by now)producers on PMP so think about each producer up there submitting 2-5 tracks per track dump. You got the same odds of being heard as mailing off a CD which leads me to...
700 x 50 = 35.000 DOLLARS A MONTH (!!!).
read that again. most A&Rs/assistants make 30-50k/year.
selling DREAMS was never easier I guess.
damn, 420.000 a year for selling DREAMS.
great biz idea, f*ck.

3) I have a million ways to get tracks to most of the artists up there.
which leads me to my first paragraph. use your brain, its not for you.
and besides...

4)I've been there 4 months. $200 ain't sh*t when you get the connects. I spend that socializing at a club with A&Rs and artists, but month 1 I was getting all kinds of responses, new subscribers, messages, haven't had 1 new subscriber or message in the last 3.
lets put this in perspective. you paid 200 bucks for some mails telling you that some mysterious person out there MIGHT be interested in your work at some point in the future. w-o-w!!!
for a grand you would get a professional "promo map" with pro layout, business cards, a list of artists and A&Rs for your product (including their contact info), 50 CDs (incl. print). you would get A PRODUCT for your PRODUCT. I know a guy who does that.
otherwise, you pay for having a dream. but you already know that.

I'm not saying it's a bad site, I just think it's currently so overcrowded, it's just as easy to get lost in the mix as mailing a CD or sending tracks to an email. Which I can get for any artist up there for absolutely free.
yeah, but they won't be making any money if they have 10 industry producers selling tracks to 10 industry artists (whatever "industry" means in this case).
they make money off of FPers putting their tracks up there, thinking, "damn, FP hates on artists X and producer Y, they say he's wack. so hmmm, my stuff ain't that bad. I got a chance!".
question: what does D.Dot and that Danity Kane do out there?
aren't they Puffy's "friends" already? why do they need to be on a page with an A&R who sells music to their own label?
Dangerous LLC doesn't need PMP to sell tracks, does he? etc
what they act like is a management company selling PRODUCT to CLIENTS, what they really make biz with, is selling DREAMS to NOBODIES! "Paying For Dreams + Myspace = PMP"
not a bad biz idea, no ****.
