Yo what's good people? Hope everyone's good. I said I would create a thread to follow on from this one http://www.thecoli.com/threads/would-thecoli-support-one-of-their-own-artists.219413/ by @The_One as I'd had similar ideas previously so here it is.
Would appreciate it if this could be sticky'd to give people a chance to see it. I'm hoping that this will be something ongoing that we can come back to, and actually practically build together with.
There are many people here and there is strength in unity and a collective. We have potential and power we can use, and everyone can benefit. The downfall of many is selfishness, but we can do some serious and great things together if we combine in various ways.
I am willing to help people in various ways, with my skills, contacts, knowledge/experience and financially also. As long as the people are cool and it's mutual it's all good, as I love Hip Hop and I respect the culture, and our MC's, producers, Hip Hop heads, businessmen and women etc.
As I said I have various ideas so this will be an ongoing things. I will break down a few ideas now.
1: We have some MC's and producers with talent here, there has been work here that I have seen that I respect. There are various ways we can support them. I need to hear more of the MC's on here, but people like @MC Metaphysical and @AsAboveSoBelow I have really been feeling. There are various things we can do to support eachother, one idea I had in regards to getting more shine is working with some more established underground artists (would have to be realistic with who we pick as otherwise the costs would be too high) but featuring with them could be beneficial and if there are any very dope producers here they could also spit over their beats, so the producer and a few artists could benefit from that. It's good for the CV and we can utilize the name value and the already existing fan bases to build up what they and we are doing. If many of us put in some cash what we could do is have shared ownership of the acapellas etc and can do with it as we wish. We could do this in a sense of everybody putting in $10 or something and then building, or for this particular idea could even put more, I would actually be willing to put in more for this one, as we are sharing the ownership of the acapellas so as we'd be doing it collectively we'd be getting something of significant value for a much cheaper price because we are uniting and doing things together. I have done and organised things like this in the past and it makes the impossible to do solely possible by doing it collectively. Plus on the other side we are also supporting some of these underground artists or producers we admire by putting money in their pockets, therefore benefiting Hip Hop as a whole.
2: We also need to create our own media outlets, in various forms, because we can't rely on the powers that be to support us, we can fukk with them too, we can get them to play our music and shyt but we must have our own shyt for real. I am starting a Hip Hop website and with this I am wanting to do a number of things, review underground artists, such as some of the dope artists on here, review some Hip Hop that doesn't get enough shine and have an organisation that is TRULY run by Hip Hop heads. With no vested interests but with the culture in mind, with honesty. This could help our artists on here because that is the kind of shyt you can put in your CV and bio (even help in terms of label recognition), bare in mind the reviews will be honest as there is no payola here lol. If this site can be built up overtime (as many others have done) this is something we could use to gain a lot of attention to our artists and people and projects. The site would not be to compete with The Coli at all by the way, but it would be different, I love Hip Hop hugely and I live Hip Hop culture so I'm very passionate about this idea, I do a lot within Hip Hop but this is something I want to add. So like I said previously again if we all put in $10 (or more if wanted too) then that would be a very good start up for the site, as anybody knows who does these things it costs money. But if we all support eachother we can achieve things. Anybody who wants to do this is free to do so now, the paypal address to send to is theruler09@hotmail.com . I'd be willing to discuss potential contributors too.
3: Everybody should list their talents, what they can do and offer and how they can help. What do you do?
4: Think of the potential brothers and sisters, even 100 people at $100 is $1000, and we can do so much more that that, but we have to be unselfish and actually put our money and actions where our mouth is, I noticed the other thread kind of dropped off the radar, I don't want this to happen here.
5: The brother @The_One mentioned supporting a single or something to try crack billboard, I would certainly be willing to help with this too. We have to combine our resources, not just money but time and skills, for instance who has many followers on twitter? Even something like rewtweeing some shyt is useful. Everyone can play some role.
Gonna post this and continue, as I want this to be something ongoing and for real we do shyt and genuinely build, not just talk. Peace.
I'm gonna tag everyone that was in the original thread.....
