Your demo — whether on CD or cassette — is more often than not the A&R
community's first gauge of your talent, so unless you want that first
impression to be your last, you might want to heed the advice that
follows. Sure, lavish and colorful packaging is nice, but just
remember that old cliché: you can't judge a book by its cover. In
other words, you have to realize that the A&R industry isn't in the
graphic arts business. It's your recording that will make or break the
deal. 
Your demo (or "demonstration" recording) should clearly present a
portrait of both your material and your performance, and,
realistically, it will take a few tries before you get it right.
According to multi-Grammy winner Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, who has
found platinum success as a triple-threat
producer/songwriter/recording artist, it doesn't matter what stage of
your career you're in, it's important to start working on perfecting
your recording abilities and your own sounds as a way to monitor your
progress in all facets of your art. 
"There is never a time when you should not make a demo," he says.
"Doing a demo is where you practice, even if it's just on a
four-track, where you pull a bunch of guys together and start playing.
You can't do too many demos, because it's through that process that
you get better." 
Of course that doesn't mean you should be sending all those recordings
to industry talent scouts. "Never send something you think you could
have done better," Babyface advises, "because if you think that you
could have done it better, the chances are that you could have. You
should work on it a little harder to get it right, because there are
some people who just will not listen if the demo isn't produced well.
They don't listen past the quality of the demo." 
However, even we you reach the point where you find yourself happy
with what you've accomplished, don't go calling FedEx just yet.
Instead, do as Babyface says, and get feedback from others. However
that doesn't mean to approach loved ones, family members or other
so-called yes-men, who can't necessarily be trusted to give you a
truly unbiased opinion. 
"When you finish a demo, you have to be honest with yourself [and]
play it for people that don't have anything vested in it, and get
their real opinion on it," explains the Tonos co-founder. "If they
kind of feel like it's not there,then listen to what they are saying
and ask what it is that they don't like about it. Then, go back and
fix the part they didn't like about it; if you respect their opinion.
If you go with a group of people and they tell you the same thing in
different areas, then you should pay attention to that and try to
correct it if possible."

Sebbene visto ancora con diffidenza da alcuni ambienti, non si puo' negare
che l'hip hop ricopra ormai un ruolo di primo piano anche nel panorama
musicale italiano.
