Gotcha
Without some details like a list w/ credentials of the reviewers, it comes off as less than credible. I'd wanna know who was reviewing me and what makes them qualified. Even if they're not the biggest of names, I'd be less leery if seeing more than 'verified artists'.
Calling Rap Genius "the #1 hip hop site" adds to this leeriness. Aside from the fact that it's not (no disrespect to Rap Genius), specifying a hip hop site as the success story on a page with limited details kind of pigeonholes it into seeming like a "rap thing" - potential artists that aren't making hip hop music may think they aren't qualified, or may become disinterested.
- schlichtm 14y agoThis helps, thanks for the feedback. We'll work on being more transparent to add to our creditability.
- flexxaeon 14y agoNo prob. Like some others here I'm a musician myself so I've seen offers like these several times. A 'seasoned' starving artist is going to be looking for rep & credibility. Doesn't have to be major artists, major labels, etc. Just show me that the music is gonna be reviewed by someone who might know what they're talking about and I'm interested.
