When Getting A Deal Goes Wrong!

If you ask ME, getting a record deal is as easy as ever today. The hard part is getting your album on the shelf. You know you're ready, your team knows you're ready, but what is the hold up?.... these "know-it-all" ass execs. The picture up top is of my artist/cousin T. Waters, he was signed to SoSo Def through me back around 2005. He was hands down the best artist JD had on his roster and I'm not just saying that because that's my family, do your own research or you can even ask JD himself. Why we never made it to the shelf? it damn sure wasn't the music. To all you artist that ask me for help getting in the game and for tips and what not, I'm gonna tell you like Talib Kweli told me "get out there and hustle your own music and you'll know when you doing what you suppose to be doing when the industry come looking for you". Don't let these "execs" tell you "that's not the record" because most of them is looking for you to sound like what's hot at the time anyway. If you're happy with the music your making then you gotta get out in the streets and make the people get on your page and ride with you. Don't lose your hunger and don't ever give up on something you believe in because somebody else don't believe in you.
