Showcase Scam!!!

Image
The biggest scam in the rap game is showcases. A Indie artist may pay $50- $250 to perform for other artists & people in the business that can't or has no attentions on helping them. Most industry people are paid by the promoter to show up & host the event. Everyone gets paid!!! But not the artists all performers. Rap/Sing & go back home broke!!! No record deal!! But its always a prize to get you involved. Maybe free radio play on a station only other artists listen to or free promotions. No real promotional campaigns. & they will also include a $500- $1000 prize. Only people that will win the money will be a artist the promoter already manage. This is not to help any artist advance in business. Remember the industry is all about numbers if T.I. Was at the event you will not get a record deal. You must first have a hit record & a buzz!!! Not a couple of your friends telling you that you have a hit record. madstreetmedia@yahoo.com

Doing Shows & Staying Broke

Image
so your manager or label tells you they have booked a show for you. But it cost $60-100 to perform. Now ask yourself, who will be attending this event? Any major Djs? Or Media outlets? Also will this be a show full of performers & not real fans? Most indie shows are nothing but artists performing for artists. Now how would you be able to sale CDs at the show? You wouldn't all this would be is a waste of your time & money. Some artist just rap to show off but why? when you leave the event you are broke? The goal is to make money from your work. Most artist just love to perform. But if you're over 20 you should be doing it as a career. Because you can perform & home for free. You should also ask the promoters how much are the tickets to the event & how many people they think the venue will hold. This is what you will need to also get your performance pay from ASCAP or BMI. You must let them know about all your shows. Now I bet your management didn't tell yo...
