Throat Chop Session: Your Music Is Cool But Your Formatting SUCKS!


I took to twitter earlier today in a few different music inspired rants. The first about the quality of mainstream and underground music, in addition to the variety.

The second about how folks are presenting their music.

I once had a conversation with someone about artwork and pictures as it pertained to their music. Their response was simply, "I do it for the music." What folks fail to realize is that the music is much bigger than the music. It's about the package. It's about the artwork (so, the pics with the timestamp in the corner in a dark room, yeah, not so much for your promo shit!). It's ultimately about how you present it and yourself.

It can be about the music when you're just sharing it with your friends. But once you start trying to blast it to the world wide web, the music is bigger than just the music. Ya dig?!

You know one of the biggest failures with some folks pushing their music? Their inability to tag/format their music properly for download. It's my hobby job to listen (well, job is something you get paid for but you know what I mean, lol). It's the artist's job to make that shit easy for me (and others). Fuck am I searching in my iTunes for their music for?


Why are the tracks out of order? Where's the artwork? Why are things named "Track 01" or "Track 01 - Name of Artists - Name of song."? That looks unprofessional. Honestly, if you're an artist and you don't know what you're doing, ask someone. It makes it look like you don't care otherwise. And if you don't care about your music, don't expect anyone else to.

Bottom line, format that  shit or don't send it out! I REPEAT, FORMAT OR DON'T SEND!

I'm just being honest. I once had a project I had to search for track by track (okay, more than once but anyway). Then I had to tag and add the artwork myself. What is this a take home test? Gtfoh with that bullshit. Why am I doing all of that? I'm a fan, not an employee.

And if you make music and you think I'm being an asshole, you're too sensitive. Because if your project isn't formatted correctly, folks WONT see your vision because the tracks are out of order. Who's the asshole now?

I bet after all of this, there's some angry rapper sitting somewhere mumbling, "damn that n*gga fucked up."

Look in the mirror and say it again.

Thank me later! (#noDrake)

Peace,
-q


ps: I didn't even mention WAV, Mp3, Mp4 and all that. You know that's an issue too! Ask about it. lol

Check It ... Jones Andrews “The Irony” (Thirty Two Tuesdays #11)


I've been sleeping on this project, as many of the emails have just been getting buried in the inbox. Anyway, each Tuesday for the next 32 weeks (week 11 now) Jones Andrew is dropping 32 bars over 32 different beats in what he's calling Thirty Two Tuesdays. The series is sponsored by RefinedHype.com, along with Flight School Music. It's definitely an interesting concept. Dope too. Check out his latest offering.

Eric Sosa ... Get Familiar


Summer is surely gone but Eric Sosa gives us something to remember it by. The video, "Summer of Love", a track off of his "Rhyme & Noodles": No Artificial Flavoring Vol. 1, was screened at the 310 Lounge in New York City and released earlier this month.


Eric Sosa is a rapper from Queens who has been making waves all over the place. Knowing he wanted to rap from the age of 11, he is on the path to success. From MTV2 to EssenceOnline.com to Urban Latino Magazine, his presence is huge and he's all over the place. Boasting cool and clever lyrics, Sosa manages to capture his audience every time. He has worked with a lot of artists and has future projects coming as well. From the grapevine, I hear that he will be working with other artists featured on this site including FCE artist G-Swagg, another Queens underground artist moving into the spotlight quick.

Aside from a cool lyrical style, Sosa's fashion sense is on point. Always neat and clean cut, Sosa has a style all his own. Speaking of style, Eric Sosa has teamed up with David Joseph, Owner of L'Creme Clothing to create a signature T-Shirt. Music and fashion go hand in hand so to have these two come together and create a product should prove to be nothing but successful.



The launch happens Tuesday, September 28th in NYC at the Vault. Nude Vodka, Flud Watches and DJ Ernie B on the 1 & 2's are all set to bring the product to light. The L'Creme Wildcat Tee (Eric Sosa Colorway) will be available on L'Creme Clothing's Official Website. They are exclusive issue and will only be available while supplies last. The launch event is exclusive to invite only but you can still RSVP to kvenna@theimgway.com for entrance confirmation, if there is still space available. In the meantime, log on to www.ericsosa.com for Eric Sosa updates and keep up! See you tomorrow at the Vault!

Check It ... Breez Evahflowin - "As He Goes ON..." (Full Snippet of the LP)


Shoutout to Dirt E. Dutch for the link on this. Check out Breez's latest.
With his last album receiving good reviews for the way it dealt with the angst of dealing with personal and artistic transition, Breez Evahflowin's newest album As He Goes On... set for release on October 12, 2010 reveals the mature MC: relaxed, confident, and wise. If the last album outlined the personal battles facing Breez as an MC, his newest release reveals the aftermath. Unpretentious, at peace with his status as a mature artist ready to leave the game, Breez delivers his closing argument. The verdict? As He Goes On... is the last testament of an MC. It's a title which alludes to the passing of a life.

What I'm Watching ... Blu (@HerFavColor) - "Your My Boy Blu"



Despite the accidental (or not, haha) spelling error in the title of the track, Blu has solidified his standings in my list of Hip-Hop MCs since teaming up Exile in "Below The Heavens". 'Her Favorite Color' is back with a new track in which the chorus uses a sample from the movie Old School and from De La Soul's Ego Trippin' (Part Two). For simply those two reasons, I am already a fan of this song. I'm digging this video. Check it.
