everyone hit it on the nose, it doesn't really matter... I think it's totally up to you - if you come w/ a nice melody, lay it down then build around it... or vice versa.. u should try making a track for either way, then you'll see..
[I bet a lot of cats would do it just in hopes of getting some exposure!!! WHo knows!! I wouldnt do it but I know some people out there are desperate!!!
You're exactly right... I knw dudes that will read that article & will still sign that type of deal the next day,, just to get that feeling...
I think u made the right decision, but there's gonna be a time when you're gonna have to swallow ya pride in this bizness.. especially if u don't have that buzz yet.. I know cuz I'm the same way.. being that I don't have a name yet, I wld've gave him the beat for free, BUT I wld need a shout...
some of that good ol' treefa neva fails to get me in the mood to make a beat... but otha than that, all I have to do is listen to some instrumentals of other cats beats, that always makes me wanna get in da lab...
