Heres a little tip (which i know most of you will know). If an album/mixtape is dropping on January 15 (for example), it has be finished 2 weeks before January 15. We should advertise a lot in those 2 weeks. I have this idea where you take half a verse of some songs, put the verses together, and make a video. Sort of like an example or sample to give to the person.The video, which will be around 5 min long (at least, not too long), give it to everyone in this website who has a youtube profile. I'm willing to upload the video and send it to everyone in my friends list (its gonna take some time but i can get it done, hopefully lol).

This guy is a fucking genius!
Also, everybody with Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr should promote the fuck out of the mixtape.

yeah i agree, this is draggin on to long, the hype is gone for some..like vig said, sometimess u have to capture the moment people..dont make this a 2011 drop.

you're right, i don't think we should be adding any more tracks, how are we supposed to cut it down if all we're doing is adding more. i think we should drop this now with the 24 tracks trigger put on or have an extra "disc" for songs that didn't make it on

i reckon we go with the 24 tracks trigger named, put it on bandcamp then have another little folder or disc for leftover songs, thats even what Trigger did on his J-Dilla mixtape, he put on an extra folder for left over songs

i think we should drop it either today or tomorrow otherwise this will never get released

Well this idea i had will be are decision, we pretty much choose some verses from all the songs and put them together in a mix video that will last about 5 min, to promote the mixtape and give people a piece of the cake. It shouldn't take more than a day if the person knows what hes doing.

And what download are you talking about?

this one

http://www.sendspace.com/file/qslc6v

its the original tracklisting for the mixtape Trigger put out

so what do you think of the idea of having 24 tracks and having a bonus disc for songs that didn't make it

ok i made a Bandcamp page as a test, i put up one track Cycle of Life to test it, i know the banner i put up isn't the best design but i don't have any other banners, so if anyone can design a cool banner for the page it would be a big help

here is the page

its one of the tracks i also like best..if we can leave it all the best, its short anyway..if not for trigger, this would not happen now although it was delayed yet again. whats the delay now and what are we waiting on?

its one i liked best too, but if we're gonna cut songs off or cut a song off to put eboyds new track on i think it would be fair if it was one of triggers since he's already on 6 songs

we need to decide which songs to take off, i think we need to give ourselves a time limit of the end of the week, if we can't decide by the end of this week which songs to take off i guess we'll just upload the whole 24 tracks to bandcamp, songs suggested by some to take off

Quote (NtG)
Songs we could do without:

You Are - AruNavi
Power On Earth - Trigger
Razor Sharp - Wildcore

Not really feeling that track with percee p on it either, but its good publicity to have him on the mixtape.

Quote (EmSeeD)
tracks i liked the most were

Trigger the Soldier, Vigilantee & Brad - That Real Hip Hop
theWildcore - Ill In The Field
Trigger the Soldier & NtG - when you're somebody's bitch
RHHF Crew ft. Pensmoke, Satchel Page & Father D - International Champions League

songs i think we could do without:

Mnemonic - Notice Me. (i liked the beat but not really the lyrics)
RHHF Anthem
Trigger the Soldier - Power on Earth (lyrically his best imo but its really short and as he said unfinished)
Its hard for me to give an unbias opinion on my own songs, but if you want Robots to be off then i understand and won't mind since the recording quality isn't good compared to the others.

Quote (El_Matador)
I don't like that Aru Navi track. Doesn't he have better tracks?

Quote (TheHipHopSpot)
i listened to it a few times.....and its hard to put together a cd with more songs then space. taken songs off is hard to do but they could be used for another project. its true trigger has a lot of songs on there but hes got people with him on a lot of his tracks. no offense to anyone. you guys can choose to take twisted reality out and ill understand. but first off i think we might need to take out 1 of the interludes. and possibly add an intro? and take out

Lost In Transmission - Brent Lee Regan
Sell Out - Llyric
When You're Somebody's Bitch - Trigger The Soldier (Produced By NtG Beats)
(if this is ntgs only song on here leave it)
Power On Earth - Trigger The Soldier (Produced By Mantis)
You Are - AruNavi

Added (16/Dec/10, 6:03 PM)
---------------------------------------------
if you guys want you can pick a song from k rinos new cd to put on it. and maybe robots should be a hidden track? ok i threw my 2 cents in.

this idea is fucking horrible. the purpose of delaying the mixtape was so that we could get proper time to get completely settled on a tracklisting, a cover, etc., and then, like Abstract said, have at least 2 weeks to promote. let's set a date, but there's no way in hell it can be a 2010 release. we have to delay it until 2011. we need to handle this shit proper.

that said, it's time to decide on a date, which means that we need to have this shit completely solidified by 2 weeks prior to the date. i say we shoot for January 11th or 18th at earliest. that way we have at least a week to fully finish this shit and be ready to promote it and release it.

also, once we do release it and start getting promo, is anyone here willing to pitch in some money to get some physical copies pressed? i can get it done for pretty cheap through this emcee named AFS who works with Percee P. online shit is cool but physical copies are just way better, especially if they are proper (not just a burned CD with marker on it). it's better promo, plus we can actually sell the physical copies.

so the only things delaying it is you doing your new song and deciding what tracks should be taken out but only 3 people have given their opinion on it, whats taking so long, how are we supposed to decide on a track listing, how are we supposed to decide if only 3 people have given an opinion. when will your song be finished?

Quote (EmSeeD)
whats taking so long

the fact that nobody here is actually discussing and making decisions and we just keep going back and forth with no progress. that's why i proposed a new release date, because no one else is stepping up to the plate to propose one. next step is to actually propose which tracks will be kept and which will be cut and once we have actually decided on that we can work on deciding on a tracklisting.

Quote (EmSeeD)
how are we supposed to decide on a track listing

first we need to decide how many tracks we want on the mixtape by proposing numbers and voting with a deadline. then we need to start proposing which ones we want cut and which we want added and have a vote, then once we have all the tracks, propose and vote on an order (again, with a deadline).

Quote (EmSeeD)
how are we supposed to decide if only 3 people have given an opinion

with a deadline, it doesn't matter how many ppl vote. if only 3 ppl vote, it's the fault of those that didn't vote that their opinion didn't get heard, but those 3 votes are what decide if the deadline comes up and no one else votes.

Quote (EmSeeD)
when will your song be finished?

it is finished. Trigger already sent me the finished version. i assumed that he already got it sent to El Matador. has that shit been sent to you yet Miguel? if not, let me know and i'll send it asap.

anyways, here's my proposal:

i say we go with a single mixtape without any extra tracks as others had proposed, and i say we stick with 24 songs. if anyone else has an opinion on these, please post it here and we'll discuss it. let's set a deadline for this decision to be made by 12PM Eastern Standard Time tomorrow. if you don't give your opinion by then you will not be heard!

also...

let's make this decision by Saturday, December 23 at 12PM EST. if anyone has other opinions, let them be known here.

ok so december 23rd is the date for opinions on which songs people want to be on and which we can do without right?

no, tomorrow for the number of tracks and structure of the mixtape, the 23rd for deciding on a release date. we will decide a deadline for deciding which tracks make the cut and which don't after we get set on a specific number and structure.
