you're trying to sell yourself to a bunch of assholes who are going to have to spend cash/actually give a fuck who you are or else you end up in the major label graveyard where too many dope artists reside.

GA-RUN-TEE there's been artists who've done MUCH worse trying to win record label exec's over. There's been so many infamous stories outside of rap; rock etc...of the shenanigans they pull trying to get signed and impress motherfuckers.
