Visit the sites. They're pretty explicit about how they operate. Stop making excuses and procrastinating and just post your music. Right now you have nothing up and getting anything out there is a step in the right direction. Well that's not actually true, I have some stuff up somewhere. Good, now just put the new stuff up on datpiff and bandcamp immediately.

Well I signed up to Datpiff, but when I went to upload stuff, they have a form to fill out with my real name and other personal details. So I guess Datpiff is a no-go then... I'd actually like to try Bandcamp, but I'm still worried about the copyright aspect, and this page confuses me: bandcamp.com/pricingIt claims there that accounts are free, but they take 15% of sales. Now I don't want to sell anything, I was going to put it up for free, but I'm confused as to whether or not the 15% fee applies to stuff that's put up for free download...argh.

Well as I said before, I signed up to Datpiff, but they want too many personal details, so I can't upload there. So I almost signed up to Soundcloud, until I read that the streaming quality is only 128kbps. At this stage I have no idea what to do whatsoever.

Instead of dropping it like literally every other rapper ever it's three pages of you making up excuses not to, but instead of building interest it seems to be doing the opposite.

So stop making excuses and take the 10 minutes to look stuff up and do it. File hosting sites like Mediafire and the like would be perfect if you don't care about streaming.

Not for nothing dude, but folks have been nothing but helpful and given you tonnes of advice and and motivation to put your shit out there, but you seem committed to having a self-pity party & waiting for someone else to do it for you. ISO Mid Thigh Pull already beat me to posting the basic Shia Labeouf video, so I'll post an alternate one:

This entire thread is people holding your hand through the process and you just being stubborn. Give your personal details, who cares? Nothing is costing you any money. Just get it out there.

You are complaining about the streaming quality of SOUNDCLOUD. The standard for which all music is shared online now.
Was there even really a project to begin with, or was this an expert troll job?

This thread has been a fascinating saga. Disappointed there's no musical payoff.

I doubt you're posting that has Boards of Canada-levels of stuff going on in the mix, so SoundCloud should be just fine. I put all of my stuff up on Bandcamp though. It's super user friendly and you have plenty of control over everything. It's good enough for me and at least DOZENS of other people so I'm sure it can work for you.

We need music here. So I am going to help.
As for the topic creator, if you make the best track ever, it is flawless, the flow is immaculate, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MAKE FUN OF YOU. No matter what you do, that is going to happen. It doesn't matter. And tell ya what, the people who like it, wont say a damn thing because on the internet people rarely say they like something, but they will dog pile if they don't.
You either have to take a leap of faith, or forget it. I prefer to follow the mantra of "Fortune Favors the Bold."
If you do it good things could come form it, bad things could come from it, a mix of both, or nothing at all. If you don't do it, nothing will happen. Yeah it is safer, but there is also no reward.

I've never seen someone worry so much about music that doesn't even exist yet.
I dunno, I've personally met a dozen+ people who use both bandcamp and soundcloud to put their original EPs and mixtapes out there and they've come across zero issues in terms of copyright, pricing or any legal issues. And some of them have been rapping for 7-10 years.
It's amazing that we live in a time where you have so many aveunes to put your creative work out there and there are people who worry about "giving their real name" when using these services, nevermind the fact that you can give a fake name, anon email and burner cell number if you really wanted to get around all that.

Since this thread is going nowhere, does anyone have any recommendations for a free beat creator type deal that I can mess about with?
