[BAH] -\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/-/\-\/- Yes, there are ways to make money easily. There's the famous "Dear Friend, This is Dave Rhodes." chain letter. Dave Rhodes is a fictional name. He never existed. You can card things and sell them, but it's too much work. This way, it's easy! You can make millions as a Rhythm/Blues/Soul/Gangsta Rap singer! Step one: Writing a song. Gangsta Rap: Pick a beat with as much loud bass as possible. A very loud pumping noise is good. Also get some soft sythesized music. Listen to Warren G for inspiration. Make up a song. Make sure there's drugs, stealing, vandalism, basketball, "gangstas", cops, guns, and the word "Funk" in it a lot. R/B/S: Write a song about how someone loves you, about how you love someone and they dont notice you, about how you loved someone and now cant get over it, or some similar things. Listen to Boyz II Men for inspiration. Step two: Picking a name. Gangsta Rap: Make sure the name has the words "G", "Gangsta", "Nigga"(not preferable, but sells records like hot cakes!), "Dogg" or "Funk" in it. R/B/S: You're pretty much on your own on this one. A number sells. Just ask All-4-One or Boyz II Men. Three syllables with dashes in the name also appears to sell. Step three: Getting on MTV. This isn't as hard as it sounds, espically if you're a Gangsta Rap or R/B/S singer, since that's all MTV is now anymore. Call up an MTV executive, play the song for him, and shoot a video. Get it played on Beach MTV, Yo! MTV Raps, Prime Time MTV, MTV Jams, MTV Most Wanted Jams, and VH1. Have them play it every half hour. They'll oblige. It doesn't matter what's in the video, but here's some tips: Gangsta Rap: Use a lot of black. Wear copyrighted symbols on your shirt and hat, so they have to be blanked out. This sells. Use crack or shoot people. It doesn't matter. Or have a huge party with you standing out in a crowd. R/B/S: It helps just to have you singing. Have a girl there. Step four: Make a single. Just record your song and sell it to Motown Records. Be a guest on MTV. Step five: Get some awards. Go on the Grammy Awards, the Emmy Awards, the Oscars, and any other awards show you can find. Win awards. Gangsta Rap: Thank "the almighty God, all da broz in da south side and da lbc, MTV, and everyone else." R/B/S: Thank "God, my mother and father for believing in me, my record company, and everyone else." Step six: Make an album. Now, this is perhaps the hardest part of making money, but it will pay off. Repeat step one until you have about 12 songs altogether. Go to Motown again, and record an album. Release it with some hippity-hoppity name. Step seven: Wait. Wait a week to a month, and depending on how much MTV played your song, you'll either go gold or platinum. $2 million comes right in. While you're waiting, be on MTV again. If you're a gangsta rapper, you can shoot hoops with Bill Bellamy on MTV Jams! Fun! Step eight: Whatever you want. At this point, if MTV's played your song enough, you have money, It doesn't matter if the song sucks or not. MTV played it. That's all it needs to sell. You can repeat the steps again for more money. With the album name, you can just call it "XXX 2" with the XXX being the name of your first album. Well, that's all you need to make easy money. Jam on, bro! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This tfile in no way describes our tastes in music.
