It's good you are techie's as i believe you would have a big problem in the promotion/music world. Talk of Rapper's , Rocker's , are you sure you live in UG. Better yet , if it was a battle of who to bring , which genre do you think would make the most impact in UG?
Personally i think MTN has it right on, UB40 is classic and appeal's to all ages, thats what counts , bring your rockers and rappers and think you will make an impact ummh , highly unlikely. Reiner, interesting break down on impact on the market, just a quote , which i came to believe after a while but maybe something to think about: " The loudest one in the room , is the weakest one in the room "; , put that into thought and then combine it with your knowledge of the markets you know all over the world. ( One off's don't count , am talking continuity). > > Wouldnt any 'classic' rapper be shot immediatly. Or is being shot not a > prerequisite for being classic?
