I had the pleasure to hear Wendy speak at a music conference in Atalanta once and it's alway a pleasure to be able to receive her truthful insight on the music business.

Good information to know. Any artist trying to get radio play should read this but also read period about the music business. I'm so glad she pointed out that the radio is a business and isn't responsible for hip hop direction. She couldn't make it any clear on why the radio plays what it plays!

This is why you should check the references and client roster of people when they speak from some place of authority on any subject. I have heard Wendy Day for some years now speak about this subject of building careers as a hip-hop artist and it becomes more and more apparrent that she promotes the denegration of quality music in our culture.

I see this goes against the popular opinion of this message board but I will say it clearly for the record that if you were to read off her list of clients that she has recieved money from to promote then you would immediately be able to see what her stance is on creating a better hip-hop culture.

You can talk all you want about making music for fun but the fact of the matter is, without quality music and TALENTED artist any artform will just be raped, bastardized and shipped off to suburban obscurity. So while you go around acting as if the hustle of some talentless drug dealer is what you value, it is not what the true gaurdians of the culture value.

Where do yall imagine the average person with true talent gets $15-$20,000 dollars to pay DJ's, Advertisers, street teams and "hip-hop advice givers"? Are they not supposed to have a chance to be heard because MC SELL THAT CRACK is grinding with heavier resources. Why even tailor your advice and basically your entire career on marketing that element.....? I will tell you why a person would do that...a CHECK (or more like a brown paper bag full of blood money)!!!

If you find something worth while in her advice then by all means take and run. I would ask that you also not lose focus of the bigger picture and principles in life that you reap what you sow. If hard work bears fruit than it will bear purer fruit for those that make the sacrifices neccessary to get to the harvest season. We do need to keep a tighter reign on what we have created and built because if we allow the outsider to have their way then there will be no more hip-hop for US and just another scheme for making a check for THEM.

I also want to be clear that I am in no way saying that Ms. Day's advice and services can not be beneficial to some. If you are just trying to get paid by any mean then it doesn't matter what I am saying right? Do you! I am giving a commentary on people like this who have made many friends and relationships off of the denigration of our culture as a whole... and HELL YES I am ready to back that up with FACTS, CLIENT ROSTER, ALBUM TITLES, SONG LYRICS! What the fuck does your movement stand for? That is the true questiion that needs to be addressed publicly! Time to cut the grass! One

@ SHAUN CRUZ

You know what…you’re on point with your assessment…I applaud you.

Yes, Wendy Day drops a lot of jewels for upcoming artists and I’m glad she shares her knowledge.

However, the clients she represents/represented are questionable, besides Twista and Ras Kass.

It makes sense because a lot of talented MC’s don’t have the loot. They’re too focused on art than hustling on the block.

Whereas the dope boy, who never wrote a rhyme in his life, has money out the ass to grease palms.

Again, I appreciate Wendy Day for dropping jewels, but her actions don’t add up.

I’m not saying she should save Hip-Hop, and she’s NOT killing the culture, because at the end of the day, the DJ’s, promoters and managers are just as greedy and selfish.

BUT she’s also indirectly helping rappers with limited talent get put on.

Un Amor

Shalom

Yessir!

Thanks for all the helpful info Wendy, much obliged.

@SHAUN CRUZ: I'm not mad at Wendy, or EVERYONE in the industry. Instead of blaming only them, blame the very people that YOU MAKE THAT MUSIC FOR!!! She does her job, and you can't take that from her, that doesn't mean that she APPROVES with all of it, this is America. She NEEDS that check to survive out here. Simple as that. Her advice is good, and honest, so for ANY MC that wants to have whatever it is that she's touching on, GO GET IT!!!! I honestly believe there's more to GOOD music than just lyricism and an ill beat. Step your SONGWRITING skills up and get on your grind. If the people FEEL you, and I mean truly, NOTHING can stop you. You WON'T be denied. Keep your music tight, and your business tighter. It's the PEOPLE that need to wake the fuck up, so go and let them know who you are and what you stand for. Only person holding you back is you. (Not in a literal sense, more in a general sense) Just my opinion though.

(By the way, that last post was directing toward everyone, not just Shaun Cruz. No hostility, ;) just trying to explain how I feel about the comments he made.) The problem is that all of these WHACK emcee's, who are getting out here with half-assed rhymes and big sound beats, ARE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS FIRST. They're smart enough to know what's 'hot' at the moment and fit the demographic that is currently making SOOO much money. IF PEOPLE STOP SUPPORTING, THEY STOP MAKING MONEY, PERIOD. Support the GOOD music out there, and I MEAN that! These guys move units which is the basis for everything that's happening in Hip Hop today. It's become fully integrated with the music business machine, so the only way to get in and damage the system, is to GET IN AND DAMAGE THE SYSTEM! We've got to stop sitting back pointing fingers at everyone and just start MAKING that change...DAMN I feel strong about this! Haha, I'm just really passionate about my art, and it really does get on my nerves seeing so many talentless, money hungry people feeding off of Hip Hop. People need to be exposed to something new and different that they can relate to, dance to, cry to, and just live to. For all those with a message, let your voice be heard. Put the work in and like Shaun Cruz said, "If hard work bears fruit than it will bear purer fruit for those that make the sacrifices neccessary to get to the harvest season."

More good advice Wendy - now only if people will listen.

Anyone who knows Wendy's cause knows that she's all about independent success. It's up to the artist to make a hot song - and sadly only a few artists these days are even capable of that (maybe because the market is flooded with everyone and their cousin trying to be an artist!).

Just because you hire all the "right" people, it doesn't mean you'll get your career off the ground, especially if you're music isn't tight. You can't fool people into liking you by spending money. Period. Before you hire someone, do your research - but also test market your own music to see if it's worth investing in.

I respect the many different views expressed but I do not think that the real life experiences in this business support many of the claims of good artist being heard. At the very least I hope someone was enlightened to a more critical way of thinking about the people that claim to be helping out hip-hop. PEACE
