Fantasy Hip Hop:Make Your Own Label. *PLAYERS MUST SUBMIT THEIR ALBUMS/TRACKLIST BY 10/14/13*

GovernmentCheese

WINNER WILL RECEIVE $20 PAYPAL

PLEASE READ THE 2nd POST IN THIS THREAD TO SEE HOW ALBUMS AND TRACKLIST MUST BE PRESENTED


I extended the deadline for submission to 10/14/13.

The trade deadline is 10/13/13. Trades, deals, and refunds (buying beats, features, etc) can't be done after the deadline. Points you have after the deadline are final
Labels will be evaluated on the following criteria: future sales, future critical acclaim, longevity, and cohesion.

The goal of the game is to make the best label possible, by purchasing artists to build a roster that will be successful. I post artist and players bid for them. Once artists are bought, the players will create album/group album releases for them. They must include track listings as well as album covers. Each participant will start with a budget of $300 million for their label. Spend your money wisely. Players must come up with a name before starting. Players must have 1 album release from any of their artist and 1 group album. You don't have to be a expert in Photoshop to make dope covers, just let your creativity shine.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Auctions
Times will be set for auctions so the players don't miss out. I'll post a artist, and for the next five minutes or so...players post their bids. When the auction is over, players may get up to 5 artist (that were left over from the auction) for free.(Points will not be given to players though)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TIERS
Artists will be categorized into 4 tiers based on their status in the music industry.
For example:
Jay Z, Drake, Nas, = Tier 1 (Tier 1 artist usually go for 150 M)
J. Cole, Wale, A$AP Rocky = Tier 2 (Tier 2 artist usually go for 70 M)
Chance the Rapper, ASAP Ferg, = Tier 3
Cyhi the Prince, Mike G = Tier 4
*Tiers will NOT be auctioned in order
_____________________________________________________________________________
VOTING
Judges must give reasons why they chose a individual's label. There will be a community vote as well, and the winner of that vote will get three votes added to their count. 2 place will get two. Posters of the IC must have 300+ posts to vote and must explain why they chose a individual's label.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
RULES
Bids must be at least $1 million higher than the previous bid. No retracting bids. If you don't participate for an extended period, your label will be auctioned off. During bidding, you can get a refund for an artist you want for 50% money back. You may do this 3 times. No overbidding, for ex. No bidding 100 Mill on a artist straight from the jump. Building your way up to 100 Mill is fine but bidding that high from the start is unacceptable. If overbidding occurs I will shut down the game and continue at another time.

Trades and money offers are allowed via PM. Host must be included.

1 Mill is the the minimum, can't bid lower than that.

Trolling or attempts to derail thread will get you kicked out the game.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Points system:
Points will help set up seeds for who will go against who once the auction is over. Points will also help you buy features from other labels. Spend your points wisely.

Players will get:
100 points for picking up a tier 1 artist.
75 points for picking up a tier 2 artist.
50 points for picking up a producer.
25 points for picking up a tier 3 artist.
10 points for picking up a tier 4 artist

If you want a feature or a beat from artist/producer
Feature from a tier 1 artist - 50 points per feature
Feature from a tier 2 artist - 35 points per feature
Feature from a tier 3 artist - 10 points per feature
Feature from a tier 4 artist - 5 points per feature

Beat from a producer on another label - 25 points per beats
________________________________________

Mystery Artist: Every now an then, I will post up a question mark instead of a picture of artist. Players will have to decide if they want to place bids.

Producers: You can only say your song was produced by the producers you won in the auction For ex. You can't say *track name* was produced by Mike Will Made It unless Mike Will is on your label. If you buy a beat from another label, you will then be able to put that producers name on your tracklist for the song or songs you brought beats for.

Kanye West Announces 7th Studio Album, reveals artwork; says to expect a “GOOD ASS CHRISTMAS”


Rollingstones Magazine got an exclusive update from Kanye West himself about his first project as a member of the National Rap Association. Much speculation grew around the industry last week if we would see a new Ye’ release by the end of the year after the announcement and later denouncement of a project called “Good Ass Job.” In an hour long chat with our reporters Kanye provided us with the new title and 3 tracks from his upcoming release. “My new album will now be called ‘A g.o.o.d ASS Christmas’, a holiday album hasn’t been done right since the Jackson 5. As an artist I definitely want to put my stamp on the classic Christmas jingles. Except with a soulful, ghetto twist. We’re working on something magical. I’ll say this music is definitely influenced by Michael Jackson. The full track listing will not be released until October 11, but I’m going to say expect the unexpected. A room full of real ? is going to show up at your doorstep this Christmas.” Kanye West played and let us review three full tracks from the album.




Candy Cane (Feat. Pusha T) [5:28]
• Produced by Kanye West, Young Chop


This track’s sweet name is no indicator for the aggressive verses about ? and its effect on the community. Pusha T spits a sinister verse about stealing church donations straight from the collection plate. The beat switch at the 3 minute mark is haunting to say the least, as the Kanye of old appears; telling stories from his childhood, speaking on the black America, and how “They want to hang ? from trees like Candy Canes.” Even though it will be a Christmas album Kanye pulls no punches.

Little Drummer Boy (Feat. J. Cole) [2:34]
• Produced by Kanye West, NO ID, Jermaine Cole


This could possibly the greatest beat ever to appear on a Kanye West album. The interesting thing about it is that Kanye doesn’t lay a verse. Instead, J. Cole spits out his soul, throws a slight jab at Kendrick, and changes his flow about six times. The drums in the background speed and slow to match Coles speed. The only downside to this track is its length. At two minutes and 34 seconds this track leaves you wanting more.

Mama’s Boyfriend [4:39]
• Produced by Kanye West


This track, once an unfinished floater around the internet, is finally touched up and mastered. This is Kanye at his best. Soul beat with no over production. It is reminiscent of his College Dropout days as Ye spits a verse that you feel instantly connected to. You can’t help but laugh when Kanye yells “TONIGHT I’m SLEEPING IN MY MAMA’S ROOM!”
