nnono club owners hire you to play, so you attract customers, who in turn
buy beer. That's how the scene works. Club owners don't have kind hearts :)
If you don't have any fans, why would a record label sign you? They're taking
an awful big risk! And usually record label people don't like the music
that they sign, they just sign whatever's hot at the moment.
Uhm... that doesn't help! What are clips?
You expect to play big concerts right away? What are you going to do if you
actually DO get 5000 people in front of you and you've never had any
experience performing?
No offense, but I think you're seeing overcome with the idea of being a rock
star. Nobody starts a band, gets a record deal in a month, then plays in
arenas the next month. If you do play live, you work up. You don't headline
tours right away, you have to open for other bands first

    Thats not keeping it real..the endorsments came like 20 years after
hip-hop got its first popular record..endorsements are in it for the
money..though some rappers wear their clothes, and some groups have their
own line of clothing..but the clothes aren't all that bad..but they have
nothing to do with rap music..music is a talent, whatever talent it maybe,
rock....country..bluegrass..clothes can't sing and play insterments..
