Good points indeed and to finish it off when an example, SouljaBoyTellEm.

You kind of have to move to Nashville and get close to the ones who are making it happen. That's where you can sell your songs - get them recorded by established artists.

@ianbhtube very true just look at lady gaga crap for example. if people want to be taken seriously. then focus on lyrics and move people. there's always something to write about. alanis overkilled the whole exes thing too!

@panicman10 I would agree entirely, i'm always ranting on that the art of story telling through music has been completely lost, and i beleive its because you dont have to write about a personal experience which is interesting/moving/thought provoking these days, you just need to be a chick with big tits and a short skirt and be willing to do what your manager says. Shocking state of affairs.

this actually helped alot.so many good points were out there.thanks so much! :D

[panicman10]

this was no help, also todays music lacks what i have. REAL story telling! this industry needs it bad. remember great songs like " imagine"? well its time for story telling to come back! music s*cks & needs to go back to its roots

Bad attitude that leaked to the press. Companies want to maintain their rep. If it's inside stuff, it can definitely be worked out if they're really hot stuff.
