Ludacris talked his way into a job at a radio station. he worked all day and then used their old equipment to make his first album... at night. then he sold 100,000 copies out the trunk of his Caprice at 5 dollars a cut. Whether you think he has any talent or not, you gotta respect that. it's even easier now-a-days. I just finished building an online store - it cost 150 bucks. 90 bones for hosting, 30 for a shopping cart and 30 because I wanted to make some money off it. It wouldn't take but 20 minutes to convert that same online store to sell cuts. we could buy a cut-rate mic from best buy, stick some mattresses in a large walk-in closet and record the whole thing on some pawn-shop mini-disk recorder or beat up gateway laptop. i'll play bone, my brother can sit in on second trumpet. my best friend would play keys and my other brother would get on the set. hey Ashley, where ya at? few people understand the plight of the musician. no one understands the long hours of practice, the setting up and breaking down of stage equipment. the recording mishaps. the deals that fall thru. they think some kid spits into a mike and becomes famous. its that easy, right?
