The speed of my punches are beyond their comprehension<br />
<br />
Hook:<br />

Catch a fade or I'll catch your girl neck<br />
Wear my own clothes, write my own check<br />

<br />
This guest post comes from Robin Davey, a musician, artist and Head of Music and Film Development at GROWVision Media. <br />
<br />
A recent survey suggested that 75% of artists are still chasing that ever-elusive major deal. This shows the credulity of bands, rather than the shimmering prospects that a major can offer.<br />
<br />
At this stage of my career I have signed to two major labels and a bevy of independents, and I can tell you this from experience - you are a long way from “making it” at the time of inking a deal. Even when the advances used to be respectable, it would only set you up for a few months at best. After that you better be earning money independently of the record label, because it’s a long wait until that next advance is available.<br />
<br />
<br />
When you take into account the cost of recording an album, paying a producer, giving your manager 20%, and splitting what remains of the advance between your band members, you can kiss goodbye those aspirations of putting an Escalade in the drive way. In fact you will be lucky to be able to afford to fix the oil leak in your Ford Focus.<br />
<br />
The 360 deal further exemplifies this notion. If the majors take a piece of everything, the artist loses an even bigger portion of their lifeline when it comes to everyday survival. <br />
<br />
A CATCH 22 SITUATION<br />
<br />
In the current climate, the only way you will gain any major label attention is if you are already achieving a level of independent success. This is the catch 22 that the 75% of bands - who are still eager to pursue the major route - just don’t get.<br />
<br />
If you already have independent success, why would you want to go to a major?<br />
<br />
This is also what is weighing down the majors; they can no longer take the risk of signing every act with potential, and they cannot offer a lucrative incentive for those who are already proving themselves in the independent market. <br />
<br />
With services like Topspin and Bandcamp, it is now easy to sell direct to your fan base. High visibility in the marketplace and accessibility to new followers are also far more obtainable without the need of industry muscle. As a result you have the prospect of earning substantially more independently, than the royalties filtered down through the corporate system.<br />
<br />
It is the quandary of the industry which has deepened the us and them divide between musicians and labels. But this is really only the majors problem. Because they are the ones with plummeting profits, and it is the independent musician who is gaining a foothold.<br />
<br />
INDEPENDENCE DAY<br />
<br />
The independent mentality is to do everything in house in order to keep costs down and productivity up. The corporate mentality has always been to get outside entities to do the job when needed. Although the majors would have departments to handle tasks like promotion, design and radio, it seemed they were only there to fulfill contractual obligations for the artists that did not show the prospects of real success. Any manager with experience would negotiate the use of an outside company to initiate a prolonged campaign, as opposed to the week or so the in-house department could dedicate to individual releases. <br />
<br />
I do see the latest job hiring at major labels reflecting a more independent mindset. They are on the look out for multimedia creators to handle a plethora of tasks, and this is certainly a step in the right direction. However, if they want to survive they don’t need to be tentative about this, they need to be bold, because it is the boldness of independent bands that is winning the day. Musicians who unabashedly embrace new ideas, and create innovative and accessible content are making the break through. As yet this is something that the majors haven’t been able to compete with, or indeed, fully comprehend.<br />
<br />
NO EASY ROUTE <br />
<br />
So aspiring bands and artists, I am afraid there is no easy route, the majors will certainly not provide it, and they never did. It comes down to hard work and offering up something different and innovative. And when the majors do come knocking, you will realize that the 25% who were not interested, are probably the ones who can actually pay their rent.Metafortaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04893859093742134125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27972610.post-26766064780843605632012-01-09T19:50:00.000-08:002012-01-09T19:50:46.112-08:00Time Management For ArtistsSuffering From Social Media Overload?<br />

Lyrics To Take Note <br />
<br />
Intro: Sleddro (west side west side)this hard dog,<br />
yeah (east side east side, yeah)<br />
Oh you know I'm gon kill it! (south side south side yeah)<br />
Listen... (north side) Listen (north side, lets go)<br />
<br />
<br />
Verse:<br />
Not down with a set i only rep music,<br />
Skip the pen with a pen pimp game fluent,<br />
My women either strong and bold or their sweet but feisty<br />
I get it how i want cause i work my tool nicely...<br />
I don't front, but these rappers do,<br />
Stunt on me ill show you what the mac will do,<br />
if you able to understand how the streets work,<br />
You won't get robbed by girls wearing cheap skirt.<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
If i had to do it over,<br />
Id dip threw these streets again,<br />
Break bread wit my peeps,<br />
and make you take note, that I'm a west coast G<br />
<br />
Verse Two:<br />
Dippin threw the sunny streets of southern califone-ya, (Fone-ya)<br />
Where da gangbangas run upon ya,<br />
Get caught slippin, and you go wit god,<br />
if you smart, you may just, change them odds,<br />
My name is Metafortae nice to meet cha,<br />
And my vocals seem to be my best feat cha,<br />
I get it started like house parties in LA, (in la)<br />
If you don't feel this you must be gay, (Go)<br />
hard or go home is what they say on the north side<br />
(But Here) Doe or die by the road side.<br />
How do i know these fools shot my bro<br />
Revenge is cold i'm the get back pro,<br />
anyway them leaves got blown away<br />
This about how a man had a good day.<br />
if i had to relive all the pain,<br />
I'd do it all again i wouldn't change a thang,<br />
<br />
Verse Three:<br />
Drawing off my own strength, no ones helping me,<br />
I can taste success a true victory,<br />
Doing this for those who really need my help,<br />
For them catch me dippin with a champion ship belt,<br />
I rap in faces of the public so hood so humble,<br />
so real can't crumble,<br />
under pressure my nerves don't faze this,<br />
Seven years in, I'm paid rich.</div>

<br />
The way you move that thang makes me wanna wild out <br />
like a lead guitarist you know what I'm talkin bout, <br />
When You kiss me light switch yeah you turn me on, <br />
You got that thang you that thang you got thang<br />
The way you move that thang makes me wanna wild out <br />
like a lead guitarist you know what I'm talkin bout, <br />
I Love To Make You Smile baby let me hold you down, <br />
Let me hold you down let let let me hold you down. <br />
My Heart Beats Faster When You Touch it, <br />
Cuzz you got that thang baby girl i love it ,<br />
You make me o you make me sweat <br />
All i think about is how ill make u wet. <br />
<br />
You know my steez you know style Aint no point in running game, <br />
All these dudes just want your body But my feeling aren't the same <br />
I would rather wife you up, keep a ring, Take My Name, I would call u bubble butt, <br />
Girl you know that I'm not playin, When i call and say i miss you, <br />
I mean every single word, ill protect you when they diss you, <br />
Call me keek cuzz that's my word, <br />
Anybody hating on this, gotta report to me, <br />
Cuzz I'm going all out and i do it, for free,<br />
Just remember what i told ya you can ride me like the rolla <br />
I'll be your exclusive like radio's first high rolla.<br />
I do what the others cant' do, I'll keep you on high, <br />
And yo swagg match my swagg too cuzz we that fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
When you kiss me i just float away, Your Smile Makes My Day Ok<br />
The type of girl, even T.I. would try to stoe away.<br />
You should let me hold you down, be my wonder women, <br />
While i'm spitting lightning baby you can be my thunder women,<br />
You make my sky change From Gray To Sunny breezy, <br />
By way your heart beats it lets me know you need me, <br />
Lets not waste time, i'm yearning for you touch, <br />
That Thang Got Me Jumpin like i'm playing double dutch,Metafortaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04893859093742134125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27972610.post-71167594651695609542010-12-08T10:10:00.000-08:002010-12-08T10:10:21.577-08:00Lyrics - Just Who I AmMetafortae - Just Who I Am - Tues Dec 7, 9:00Pm 2010 San Diego CA, USA<br />

Chorus:<br />
Just who I am (its getting closer) Quickly now <br />
(Just Who I Am) Don't wait till i am gone (don't let me go) <br />

Just Who I Am, I pray to god don't let me go.<br />
<br />
Verse One:<br />
I Figured out how to jump and not leave the ground,<br />
With my eyes closed i can still see around,<br />
Your My Destination, where i, run in hide,<br />

Its metafortae meta meta yeah nobody ever does it better <br />
<br />

Just who I am (its getting closer) Quickly now <br />

Just Who I Am, I pray to god don't let me go.<br />
<br />
Verse Two:<br />
I give my all for you with a smiley face,<br />
Keep me safe with and warm in your special place, <br />
All my swag with me but I'm so afraid,<br />
All my enemies holding hate grenades,<br />
Before darkness takes my sanity, <br />
I hope that yoooooou, get to know, get to know...<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
Just who I am (its getting closer) Quickly now <br />

I get questions all the time about where will the money come from to start up a label, or your own business? The answer is this. From wherever you can get it loans, sugar daddies, lottery winningswhatever. Raising the funds to start your own business is your own business. Perhaps now you understand why so many musicians and bands want those record deals. Record labels front the money to develop, market, and promote their artists. Record labels are businesses that understand it costs a lot of money to sell an artists recordings, and the successful labels are well funded so that they can go out there and fight the good fight, marketing the records they have released. <br />
