Not necassarily. She doesent care. But my dad does. He doesent live with us and I dont see him alot. Last time i saw him was march. (but im going to get to see him sunday!!!!!!!! Im so exicted!). I just dont want my moms side knowing because then they will all try to help and my aunt does videos and she will be like "Oh let me make a vid for you" and I just dont want all that attention. Id rather them not know about it unless I hit it big..... Which will most likely not happen.

lol isn't there a show called the next white rapper?

1st: We need more people, more contributors like many members already on here. We need a good 25 to 30 dedicated members who are willing to spend the time and a few extra dollars to help us build.

2nd: We need to build the official site.

3rd: We need to get more people recording. At least five. What happened to Trigger? Psyntific?

4th: Advertise, spend money

5th: Start talking to each other - phone, in person

6th: Legal shit, copyrights, trademarks, registered location, official positions - treasurer, president, etc.

7th: Official mixtapes and albums under our label on itunes, amazon, online retailers, distribution center (someone's house)

8th: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

......or something like that.

how can we do this? we have a proper site name erik bought, but we don't know how to properly build it, trigger has just got his computer back, they have a bunch of songs etc, but the main thing i don't know is how would we get all that legal stuff? trademarks etc how could we do that?

Well Logos, Lyrics, and I (think) pictures you can do this.
Mail whatever you want to copyright to yourself and never open it.
Then if someone takes it go to court and show that u never opened it and it will have the date.
Its called poormans copyright.
thats what i do wit lyrics. If i died I wouldnt want someone going in my deepest journels and using my shit.

Alot of the legal shit has to be submitted to Organizations that officialize recognition. For example, we would have to trademark the label logo. Applications for trademark registration must be submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Some steps will require fees, some won't. Copyrights are pretty much free.

The way to get our new site running is like I said, we have to get more people on here to expand our resources. That's why it is step 1. Who knows, we might get a guy on here who's crafty with Dreamweaver, or a guy who knows a guy. Who knows the situation.

Trigger is dope. Personally I think psyntific is dope as fuck. Beings they are the only ones who have accumulated any work they should be the focus when that step is reached. We should feature them on this site (or the official site) on the front page. As long as they are properly advertised and promoted they will go far (especially Psyntific). I mean look at soulja boy. He built his reputataion through an internet base. So it's definitely possible. If we can get albums made, then we can distribute them easy. Slap our logo on them and call it our record label. That's fine and that's legit. But we won't be recognized legally untill paperwork is official. Much of it is done through legal applications and simple self declaration on paper. The only reason record labels have to be official is because of taxes, obligation to it's artists (pay), and distribution (alot of times distribution companies won't pick up unofficial labels). It's no different than starting a business, and look how many people do that.

I just ask people on youtube who look like they spend alot of time on the computer and are interested in real hip hop. That's how we got T_nizzle!

Yeah, pretty much. I usually see people on major hip hop videos that leave a decent comment and I ask them. I usually tell them to "Consider This":

"I notice your interested in hip hop. You should check this site and join if you like it. The site is up and coming and we need members and support. If you rap or produce it's even better.

http://realhiphop4ever.ucoz.com/forum/ "

I then usually clarify that it isn't a spam. I know it's kind of out of place (perhaps wack) but it's an effective method.

So wait....
If we own that other name, why are we still on UCOZ??
I dont really get it. Does the other name just re-direct you to the UCOZ site or have we just not really made the new site yet?

We haven't made the new site yet and the new site just redirects here.

yeah it just re-directs to the old site, but we have a real site there i think its just that we don't know how to build it.
