More or less since people ask I'll give answers and advice but, at the end of the day you'll do what you want but here. Here are a few rules of thumb about music myspaces and how they'll be a little more successful.

1.) Invest time in your myspace you may not get a deal but, you can damn sure get some fans. There are millions of people on here. Remember its not about the number of fans it about how many keep coming back.This is not Field of Dreams if you build they will come. Grind it out. Be realistic. Some people will like your music some won't. So look for people with common musical tastes. Some them will like it some won't. You can't just post up a myspace and expect people to show up it won't happen.

2.)Bots watch using them they'll get your ass booted and you'll have to start from scratch. Plus most know if you have inflated numbers. You have 10000 plays a day and no one really knows who you are and you only have 1300 friends come on now. You would have a lot more friends.

3.)Don't put a whole bunch of people you don't know in your top friends. We know that your not friends like that with Aftermath, Dr.Dre, Rhymesayers, Rawkus, Def Jam. Which takes me to point four.

4.) Get your friends and fam involved if they believe in you have them put up your banners or your music page on they top friends it helps believe me.

5.) Holla at other artists in your area start a real movement that draws attention to what your doing and others. No said be best friends with everyone but earn the respect of your local peers about your craft. I promise you link up with some people that make music you'll make some memorable music. This is the information age make friends over seas and across the country. I've done it so its more than possible.

6.) Stop all them crap ass bulletins thats why people don't accept bands you don't do anything but fill up there Bulletin board with 30 posts saying the same shit over and over. We saw it the first time that you got the hot new shit on your player.

7.)Lastly be passionate. If you don't know what that means get a dictionary!!!
