lol you still dont get it. its not about what is popping these days. this is how the game works in any era.Its a much better look if you can tell people Juve bought your cd,than saying you gave it away.
Juve probably doesn't understand how things work nowadays,do people still hand out cd's? I know the number of nikkas trying to get me to buy they cd's has dropped dramatically. Cats can go straight online,they were out there to make money.
if you run into a real celeb, old or new. You give them your product for free. Their co-sign, or connections, or just them wearing your stuff if its clothes, or playing your music if its audio can get you follows, hits, and possibly a meeting with some real people.
Juve is an old head rapper. but you know he still knows people IN the industry. Juve has been on top for long enough to know some old head dude that has flipped it and is now running some label somewhere. he knows some fashion people SOME WHERE. Juve could at worse get you a couple of likes and some hits on the gram. thats at worse. at best you could literally get a DM from some one interested in your product. Anytime you see a celeb its promotional. UNLESS you're outside of a big money event and you're trying to sell some over priced products to people with money, thats different.
