Question

What do I need to know about a mixtape? (Reward: Name on mixtape, copy of mixtape, and will be thanked........

Aight.........Im a rapper, who just formed a group.......We've been rapping in school and people heard us perform. (Talent Show etc.) A producer in my area thought we were good. So he said give him a call, if we need a contract. We thought about it and approved. He gave us the contract and let us think for a couple weeks. We're in the process of deciding........All I need to know is...in a mixtape.......Can you use other instrumentals......Explai... why.......Because I heard alot of (Famous Rappers) perform freestyles on instrumentals (especially their enemies instrumentals) and they make mixtapes (AND THEY GET PROFIT)...Our group dosen't want profit......We just want to distrubute our mixtape to get our voice heard F.Y.I: I don't think The game asks 50 `Cent for permission to use his instrumentals....Or I don't think The game asks lloyd banks for the hands up instrumental)

Answer 1

There is no violation if the making and performance of the music is not for profit.
