Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

The stuff I was on was more or less local stuff, like I'd do the studio work for a band that played in bars and sold CDs at their merch table.

The most anything sold was in the 90s when I actually played guitar that actually went into rap music. I was on four or five tracks.

However, I'm pretty sure that studio closed after a federal investigation and a bunch of them went to jail. Like, the recording company was started by gang drug sale proceeds and then the gang used it as a way to launder money. There were rumors of them holding artists at gunpoint to make them sign away the rights to their work. It was a shitshow. I don't think they exist in any form.

That one sold a lot of albums, but they all sold locally. The group (band? I'm not sure what to call them) was very popular locally but never made it to the national level - as far as I know. It was straight up gangster wrap.

Do you have a copy of the gangster rap album?

Fuck no...

Well, maybe somewhere around here.

I don't actually like rap, as a general rule. I sure as fuck am not a gangsta rapper. I just played guitar parts as described and in the right key. It was my job. Though, by the time I did that I no longer really needed the money. I just did it 'cause I like playing guitar professionally. My hourly rate would work out to $100 an hour as an average by that time. You usually hired me for a two hour block and the cost was $200.

I don't like rap either. $100 bucks an hour will buy a lot of beer
