well what is networking/building relationships? Well something that happen on monday inspired me to write this post.
What building relationships is not is just calling me out the blue when you want me to post something for you or calling me out the blue to ask me can I send something to hiphopgame for you or can I tell you via phone how to work a mpc.
Now I'm not saying you have to call me or someone everyday and/or be friends with someone but when you call its actually has to be genuine. Call when you want something and when you don't want something. This game is about relationship and I truly understand that I may have some relationships that some don't have and some of you may have relationships that I don't have.
Try building a repore with people. Build a honest and true business relationship. Don't just call when you want something. All that is going to do is have you look like a whore.
I used to call a&r's twice a month to build relationships. One call was to just to see how they were doing, shoot the breeze etc and then the other call was to talk business. And believe it or not I used to send holiday cards to people that I honestly built relationships with. And till this I still communicate with these people today.
So the morale of this post is just don't call, email or twitt people when u want something! There enough rap whores in this game so don't be another one.!

...so I guess now wouldn't be a good time to ask for a beat huh? lol
Good post. I think the only thing to watch for if its genuine or not when it comes to building these relationships. Sometimes, people can fake if they care about you and in the end, they may not be there for you, I feel. T
Thats good you reach out to your connects like that you have a good repoire with. Not too many people do that.
Nothing but truth there...heed those words
I "broke up" with one of my close friends cause she only called me and answered my calls when she wanted or needed something
I understand
i definitely feel that.
it's actually something i'll admit that i need to work on.
i'm just such a loner and stuck in my own family shit that i don't really call on the phone too much and really build with people, so if i'm around you, it's all love, but it keeps the circle very small. most people know where the heart is though.
good post, Judah!
