Quote:Artists bring out their own new artists for 2 reasons.
1)Theyre usually taking care of their boys in their crew, giving them the shot they were once given. Its called loyalty.
I can understand that. I did go on record as saying that it wasn't wrong or anything...it's just that you don't really see that kind of "loyalty" within the metal/rock community. With rock & metal, it's all about "supporting eachother, supporting the scene"
Quote:2)Producing and signing artists to your own record label is where the real money is. The money artists get for performing is nothing compared to what the record labels and producers get. Why do you think Dr Dre has started 3 record labels? Why do you think Eminem started shady Records? Thats where the real money is. Dr Dre is famous for saying \"Your shit ain't sellin? Fuck it, get Dr. Dre on it
You got a budget? I'll get down, give me half of it
One session, one song, I'm gone
The first week, you hit the streets, a star is born\" because one song from him can make someone famous if done correctly.
I know this...I do.
Again, I'd LOVE to produce. Just as long as I truely believed in what the artist was trying to create.
