January Announcements + Feedback Thread

Posted: 13 Jan 2018 11:04 AM PST

So we're making some rules clearer, updating some rules, laxing some rules and reiterating others:

Announcements

Allowed:

  • Project Announcements (Albums & Mixtapes Only)
  • Release Dates Announced (Singles, Albums & Mixtapes Only)
  • Cover Art Released (Albums & Mixtapes Only)
  • Tracklisting/Credits Announced (Including iTunes Pre-order Links)
  • Exclusivity Announcements (e.g. "Upcoming album will be released on streaming platform only")
  • Collaboration Announcements (Completed songs and songs announced for upcoming albums. For example, "artist 1 and artist 2 have recorded a song together", "artist 1 says artist 2 is featured on their upcoming album", "producer" says he produced a song on the upcoming artist album", etc.)

Not Allowed:

  • Vague Collaboration Announcements (General collaborations with no song announced and no project in mind. No "artist 1 and artist 2 are planning to work together", "artist is asking producer for beats on Twitter", "artist and producer have something in the works", "artist 1 and artist 2 are in the studio together", etc.)
  • Digital Pre-orders Without Tracklistings
  • Snippets-only Posts
  • Progress Reports (e.g. "Artist currently shooting music video, "artist says mixtape is finished", "artist says album is currently being mastered", etc.)

Emojis

If you are contributing to a discussion, you will allowed to use emojis in your post. Emoji-only comments and low effort comments containing emojis (such as "🔥🔥🔥" or "Wavy 🌊") will not be allowed, nor will emoji spam, emoji storytelling or emojis in thread titles.

This is a trial run. Emojis are no longer the novelty they were when they were originally banned, so we're hoping that they can be used, not abused, in everyday discussion. If emojis are abused and found to degrade the quality of posts and discussions, the ban will be reinstated.

Album Discussion

Album discussion threads are encouraged. Beyond initial album discussions ([FRESH] threads when the album is released, [First Impressions] threads 24 hours later and [Discussion] threads 1 week later and another 6 month [Discussion]) albums can be revisited for further discussion on milestone anniversaries (1 year, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 years, and so on.) If no milestone anniversary thread is posted on the day of the anniversary, one can be posted within the following month. Follow-up discussion threads are not allowed on any other anniversaries (e.g. 6 months, 3 years or 18 years.)

Edit Videos

Videos edited for comedic effect are not allowed outside of Daily Discussion threads. This includes all MuchDank videos, "this but that" videos and all similar videos (e.g. compilation videos, video but every time someone says word it's replaced with rapper adlib, song but it speeds up every time they say word, rapper interview but the whole thing is just breathing, etc.)

New Mods

We'll be taking applications for new mods soon. We're looking for ideas for threads and people who can put in some time.

Discussion Threads

This is a reminder that [Discussion] threads are allowed outside of Daily Discussion threads when they are worthwhile topics that encourage discussion. Not allowed are the following:

  • Posts bashing artists or their fans
  • Objective questions with definite answers
  • Questions or complaints regarding the status of songs, albums or release dates
  • Questions that require users to rank, list or post various artists, songs or albums (who will/should blow up next, who or what is underrated/overrated, etc.)
  • Questions about the appeal of a song, album or artist ("Why is song so popular?", "why is artist so slept on?", etc.)
  • Posts seeking music recommendations
  • Posts seeking the titles of songs you've heard but can't find
  • Posts seeking the sources of samples
  • Low effort posts (Text/self-posts with little or no body text)
  • Reposts of recent discussions and "done to death" discussions
  • Speculation about website updates and social media activity or lack thereof (e.g. website has been updated with a clock, artist has removed all of * their Instagram photos, artist has deleted their tweets/Twitter account)
  • Speculation about minor website updates and social media activity or lack thereof (e.g. website has been updated with a clock, artist has removed all of their Instagram photos, artist has deleted their tweets/Twitter account)

Examples of good discussion threads:

Discussion threads should be created because you're interested in having an actual discussion with other members of the community, not because you need help with your school project, blog post, essay, written piece, podcast or other project. Please note that there are also weekly music recommendation threads and Moronic Mondays threads for questions.

We're also going to be enforcing a repost rule where you can't post similar questions within a year of them previously being posted and having more than 30 upvotes. Since it's hard to search questions, we're not going to be issuing temp bans for this.

Playlists

We'd also like to introduce bimonthly playlist threads. At the start of each month, we'll have a thread to update a playlist of "What's Hot" and in the middle of each month, we'll have a specific sub-genre or scene playlist (New York's Grimy '90s, Miami Bass, Best of (Artist/Producer,) Local Classics, Uncommon Time Signatures, Holiday, Seasonal). We're looking for someone to handle these playlists. This is one of the things we might look to a new mod to manage.

Original Music*

All original submissions must must be posted in the following format or they will be removed. No warnings, no exceptions:

[ORIGINAL] Artist - Title (Optional description under 80 characters)

Original submissions are only allowed if they are completed songs, projects or music videos. Demos, works in progress, "rapper-type beat" posts, beats for rappers, posts seeking collaborations and posts seeking feedback are not allowed. If that's what you're looking for, see /r/makinghiphop.

Reminder: Posting original music as a text/self-post will post your link in a different color so people looking for new & underground music can find the posts quickly.

Reposts

When you post a song, you have to search for it. If the same song has been posted within a year and it got more than 30 upvotes, don't post it.

Favorites list

Don't post songs from albums on the favorites list

Allegations

If you are relaying allegations made by somebody else via social media, the title must make clear that they are allegations unless the accused has acknowledged the allegations and admitted that they're true. Titles must be objective. Threads with titles like "artist is a pedophile", "artist stole my beat" or "artist stole my artwork" will be removed. If you are posting a published article regarding the allegations, use the title that was published with the article. Posts with titles altered to imply guilt or innocence will be removed.

Snippets

Snippets aren't allowed unless they also function as an announcement. You can discuss them in the Daily Discussion

Gossip & Personal Affairs

Gossip and items about aspects of the personal lives of artists not discussed in their music are not allowed. This includes posts about cheating and artists having children. Exceptions may be made in some cases, for example if two artists regularly discussed on the sub have a child, if someone who has been the subject of songs discussed on the sub has passed, or if personal affairs involve music or works released by an artist (e.g. Jay-Z & Beyonce having a child, the passing of Afeni Shakur or Frank Ocean being sued by his father over a blog post.). Generally before you post something just think: is this related to hip hop?

[FRESH] Posts

The [FRESH] tag should only be used when there is a new song, album, mixtape, music video or similar release from an artist, they should not be used for pre-orders (use [PREORDER]), announcements, interviews, radio freestyles, television performances or concert videos (exceptions may be made for official concert videos, announcements in the form of studio-recorded songs or music videos and other gray area items.)

Also, albums/songs should not be posted until they're available in North America (at 11 EST).

If you're posting an article

Please look in the article to see if it's just an article about an interview or another article. If it is, post that article.

If you made it to the end of this post you're automatically a new mod. Congratulations /s

Sincerely,

The Mods

I'm Doug Ray. I was signed to a major label and sold 300,000+ albums before leaving the industry for law school. 10 years later & I'm back, figuring out an industry that is completely different than how I left it. AMA!

Posted: 17 Jan 2018 05:29 PM PST

My short bio: I am a musician and a lawyer living in New York City. I spent years playing music all over the United States and the world. I released a solo record as "Toothpick" with Universal Records after my debut record with the band "Bad Ronald" released by Warner/Reprise records. Both achieved significant radio play, with Bad Ronald scoring a top 40 hit with "Let's Begin".

My songs have appeared in feature films and television shows. As Toothpick, I wrote and performed the song "Supersize Me" for the movie.

10 years after leaving the music industry to go to law school, I called up Alex Sheridan (producer), and we decided to make an album - giving ourselves two months to do it, from start to finish.

That was November 15, 2017. We submitted the album for distribution January 15 at 11:58. It was a solid two months of overnight writing and recording, which is why the album is called "The Night Shift".

We now have 3 weeks to figure out how to promote an album in an industry that is completely different than how I left it.

Play it loud in your car, have fun, and holler if you get locked up.

EDIT: Signing off for the night! I'll check in tomorrow and respond to any new ones. Thanks so much for the questions!
