Crashing The Indian Remix Market.

I have a plan to crash the cd market and see what the stores do after since they have no access to bootleg cds. come 2010 we should open a RemixWorld.com and have people vote on samples of cds available that they want to release for the month. This project should include KBIS, De Joint, Icon, Mixie Tunes and any independent labels. Remix World should consist of a President, Vice President, Judge, and THE PEOPLE ( customers ). The People will vote on masters available to be print. After election of a cd, the judge will decide if to hand the master to the Label to print. The president has the power to veto or pass any cd. Presidents etc will be owner of each label or a person designated by each label. This way people can't complain these labels dropping bullshit cds. THEY CHOSE IT. The way this market is going I think we should crash it ourselves and build a demand for it, or either let it crash and wait 4 years for the economy. POST YOUR REPLIES AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. ( just an idea, don't take or make it personal ) - Extacy

 

Bootleggers make too much out of doing it. No matter what theyre always gonna find a way to do it because its easy money for them.

 

doubt it'll work. people would be playing for favorites.

 

The only way to do that is for the cd's only to be bought straight off of their site. But they wouldn't want to do that because it would mean a huge loss in sales because most people buy the cd's in the stores.

 

none of the owners would go for it there putting money up and pushing there cds they dont give a shit about what everyone else thinks as long as they get there money...what you should do is locate the stores that have bootlegs and orginals and stop selling it to them..or befriend the bootleggers lol and cut them deals or some shit lol bcz im quite sure there putting up money for the bootlegs...the stores probably buy the bootlegs for the same price or pay about the same price to for blanks and cases and shit which is soo stupid...i rather pay for a nice clean copy with covers and shit rather then a blank disk that mark INDIAN REMIX...

 

listen,this is the west indian market your talking about the artists for the most prt dont give a shit if you remix there stuff,matter of fact they wantt djs to drop their songs on mixtapes. Indian songs may be a different story..hip hop to...but any1 ever got sued for using indian??? them chutney guys cant afford to sue no one for copyrights they probably dont have! SOOO you fella's mixing shit arent bootleggers in this market so i wouldnt worry....

i think the best way to deal with the bootleggers is to beat them at there own game,price wise.But idk how much cheaper they could possibly be selling the cds to the stores for since i know the stores get the originals for cheap as hell already. extacy your idea is cool but i dont think it would stop the bootlegging. its all about the money man and the labels cant rely on people choosing cds to be released because majority of the cd market wont care to go on a website and vote in the first place. if that was the case everyone would just come on mastahpiece and download them.

 

this plan isnt a plan to kill bootleggers. once d cd is in a store it WILL be bootlegged. is a plan to build a demand for cds. but i DOUBT this will happen. its US that need to fix this. ALL Remixers need to come together n start planning who will do wat cd. and stop droppin d same thing over n over...

 

i hear u bro,but u know as well as i do theres to much competition going on,someone will wanna do a certain cd and then the next guy will say well hey i can do it better and big argument start. The labels need to be more selective in what cds they release,they need to make the new guys work harder if they want their stuff out,roger has already taken steps in doing this as well as raj... in case no one didnt hear raj isnt releasing no indian cds that sound like something that came out already ,no matter who did it. big djs and smalls djs alike gonna have to work harder and be more original with their releases no more dropping awanie and indiflo beats on everything.

 

see thing that i dont get is how can you be creative and "original" when the consumer dont know the songs your mixing? i remember playing maro one time and my uncle asked wtf i was playing...and then the confusing part is you mix a cd with common songs but mix it better then everyone out there the people go i already have this song on another cd i dont want it...its a double edge sword...you mix songs they know and love they ***** about already having it..you mix unknown songs they say wtf is this??? in my opinion i rather buy a remix cd with songs i know and are hot mixes and a good selection of them rather then something like wedding nite...if i see a 90's dance cd with common songs and they are hot ass remixes of it i would definitely pick that over a cd that has a tracklisting that i dont even know one song...

 

i hear u,being able to select a good set of tracks is just as important as mixing them well. its important to have the right combination of popular and unique,which isnt easy to do..but its one of the things djs need to be more wary about now that theres so many cds out

 

see i would mix things that the market doesnt have alot of...i would make a full remix soca or chutney remix cd...you bearly hear tho's so im assuming they would do good & i guess depending the time of the year you bring out party cds but people need too get back to bassics and realize what made all the great cds sell...they were well put together not only remix wise but down to tracklisting and order of songs...im honestly tired of all these "unique song cds" maybe the reason why people never heard half the songs bcz when they came out they didnt give a shit about them and then they were forgotten...

 

everyone wanted be like tariq and premier,and this is the result.plain and simple.people need to stop try imitate them guys because they cant pull it off like them. i say do your cd man,take a risk because like i said the labels arent gonna release bullcrap no more. thier gonna release what their confident is gonna make them money and if your cd sounds like a money maker its gnna come out.

 

Everyone should stop makin cd's altogether and get a ****in job. let the stores go broke. they aint gonna have no music to sell. let them close down. **** the stores. those stores dont do shit for me. all they do is bootleg shit. **** them motherfuckers up, those cheap ass *****es. after 2 years sell them ONE copy of a cd for 800 dollars and let them bootleg that and make their shit back. if they dont wanna pay 800 for it then thats their problem. story done.

 

i like yur idea extacy...cuz i undestand wat u sayin bout makin it "the people's choice"...but if u really think bout it...theres so much underground shyt thats gonna happen...from favoritism...to even ppl havin a group vote for that one song!!!...

And yeah ... bout originallity...I agree wid gtzxquizit1 and they shud be more soca remix cdz...cuz its unique and ppl look forward to buyin dem shyts!!!...especially even reggae...maybe even do an ol' skool mixtape for dem!!!...cuz u can get original az u want but all ppl wanna hear iz sumtin they can jam to and sumtin they can say "wow, i havent heard this inna while"...

 

triggs right, that what is going to happen eventually, because no one is going to continue losing money putting out cds and the stores the only one benefiting. You guys might not like the cds I put out but let me give you guys a little info all those cds got bootlegs every single one of them weather you guys taught they were good or bad they all got copied. I made a certain amount of cds that I think will sell and I know it will but if I have to go up with the copies cd, then I get stuck with cds not selling and its not that there are not selling , its just the copy ones that are selling. So my plan is to cut down putting out cds and see the reaction from the stores, and if shit still the same then guess what I am out. I do this not for the fun of it I do this to make money and if I am not making shit then, I go try something else. I just wish people will support the stores that sells the original that would solve this problem big time.

 

I feel u man!!!...Its all about makin da profits and in dat case if yur not makin any money...wats da point of even waistin yur time if u get no money in return!!!...every good deed shud have a reward!!!...I understand where u comin from!!!...

 

I agree with trigga as well. Everyone should just say **** making cds. Theres too many West Indian Remixers anyway. That leads to everyone mixing the same shit and it all just gets boring.

 

then id sell all originals. people could come to my store and buy w.e and bootleg it all they want. imma try my best and let people know that why buy the fake when the real is the same price. ill even go in other stores and tell people to come to mine instead. imma **** up other peoples business before they **** mine up.

 

ok i feel u on dat one bai but here is the problem with that all stores on liberty ave sell bootlegs every single one of them go ahead ppl if u dont believe me check them all of dem the biggest one selling bootleg on liberty is aras boutique idk how to spell it but its on the same block as burger king i walked in there and i was like do u have Happy Hour 3??? the guy was like no but i have it on the computer and i can burn it for u i was like wtf where is da orig he looked at me and i walked out

or what we can do to try and stop ( we all know its not going to ) bootlegging is give some ppl the orig and let them sell if from there house like use me for an example

say i live in queens ny and i know alot of ppl and blah blah blah they can come to me knowing that i have orig for the same $5 and sell that shit out my house

is anything wrong with that????
