LITTLE DUDE IDEA: BEATMAKING for New Orleans? $$?

[Gnat]

Yo, I have an idea that I would like y'all to consider. I thought that we should have a SoulStut beatmaking contest in order to raise money for the hurricane victims. It would be a certain amount to enter (like$20), and then we would make our beatz, and the pot would go to the guy/girl who made the ILLEST beat. Beatz would be posted through MP3s and we would determine the winner through a SS poll. Like our own American Idol: THE LAST STRUTTER or some shit like that.WHOOZ down? Put your name down so that I can get an idea of interest, and then I will try to figure out shit with a moderator or RAJ or Bambouce or with whoever ... Hollar! (please)gNAT PS I thought that the assignment could be "Make a beat from ONE song that mudderfuggin sux and make it ill."

 

[volumen]

And the winner would donate his winnings? Your leaveing out the New Orleans connection???????

 

[PEK]

the pot would be donated; the guy/girl who made the ILLEST beat would have the satisfaction of being the winner through a SS poll.

 

[Gnat]

YEAH...sorry...motheruckin OVERSIGHT?!!! The winnings would be donated...JEEZUZWhoa...I am NOT proposing that I be the treasurer either...for obvious reasons like oversights like that...

 

[Gnat]

I will need some help organizing [colorurple](mythoughts) all of this if folks are interested...

 

[Gnat]

Bad idea?

PS I thought that the assignment could be "Make a beat from ONE song that mudderfuggin sux and make it ill."

I thought that since this dough needs to get there as soon as possible, we should just throw a track up that you already have or can get done soon...

count me in...

Remember, the object is to participate... whoever wins can brag in here a little though...

 

[Raystar]

Bad idea?

Hell no... give dudes a minute.





This is such a stressful time... I'm going to go make some love now... I thank God that I am still able to do so... check in tommorow...

What about the assignment? Or should we just say, ILLEST UNPUBLISHED & UNDISCOVERED BEAT so that heads don't necessarily have to hit the studio to make the shit...something you got on standby is cool too...that might open it up and get some more appeal and therefore money...

 

[Grafwritah]

I've got beats. I've never attempted to do anything with them but it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

This is what we're doing...
hollar... (especially moderators--would like your OK)

the beats could be anonymous too, you would vote for say beat #4... that way people could vote for what they liked rather than who they like... just a thought...

yes...no more fuckin student council shit...JUST imagine we could vote for a president this way...no face to look at, just views and action to vote on...you know...CONTENT OF CHARACTER...

 

[mcdee]

Well, you know, I voted for Bush because he's damn sexy.

So folks, I'm rethinking this whole deal. Though my intentions are good, I've put my business hat on and realized that the contest concept isn't going to make very much money. Even with 10 different people making beats and donating $20 each to enter their beat in the contest, that's only $200 raised. So.

NEW IDEA. We still go with original beatz, but chuck the whole "contest" concept. INSTEAD, let's compile a disc of 10-15 original SoulStrutter beats and get an album going. DJ tracks would be cool too.

We charge $20 per disk, plus shipping. I figure hella folks on here will cop (at least 50) which will be at least $1000. Maybe we could get more. All proceeds would go directly to RedCross or another such charitable organization (suggestions welcome).

NEEDS:

*We need an artist for cover art.
*We need at least 10 different original beatz from SoulStrut members.
*We need someone to reproduce CDs quick and cheap.
*We need someone with a PAYPAL Account set up to receive money; the Treasurer.
*We need someone to ship everything.
*We need someone to coordinate all these folks.
*Am I missing anything? I must be...

Beats/art can obviously come from anywhere. I suggest that the CD production person, cover art production person, Treasurer, Shipping person, and Coordinator all be in the same geographic area (PAGING BAY AREA STRUTTERS!)


I am happy to coordinate this, even do the whole damn thang, but also realize that I need some help and advice. Additionally, I'm still fairly new here so my reputation isn't as SOLID as say a Bambouche, a BigStacks, an ASPIRIN, a Hogginthefogg, an AlienINVERSION, a peacefulrotation, an OduB; a someone who is basically better known than me. Greater trust and recognition of the coordinating members will lead to more trust in and therefore greater success of this project. PAGING THOSE WHO ARE TRUSTWORTHY and have more than 200 posts to endorse this piece. Beat/art donations could come from anyone.

Thus, this is my proposal--what do y'all think?
