Always a Herald (Sung to "Always a Woman" by Billy Joel)

He can call you in court
And bring tears to your eyes
He can lose your device
In his casual files
And he only will read
What is in Heraldese

He draws like a child,
But he's always a herald to me....

He will check your device
He can pass you or fail you
You can show him your proof
But he'll never believe you
And he'll take your four copies
Along with his fee..

Yeah he charges too much
But he's always a herald to me..




Oh he takes care of your name
It can wait if he wants
He is always behind
Oh and he never gives out
He just keeps taking in
And gets further behind

And he'll summon you forth
In front of the kingdom
Then he'll vocally praise you
And smile while your kneeling
But he'll shout out your name
Just as wrong as can be

Blame it all on the scribe
Cuz' he's always a herald to me



He's frequntly loud
And he's seldomly clear
He cries poorly at Pennsic
For he's full of cheap beer
And he can't be retired
He does it for free

And the most he will do
Is shout O'yez at you
But he's always a herald to me....




What do you think?? Should i hang up my chances of passing a device for the
next few years?? Should i put away the Pursuivant's Handbook and take up
fighting to defend myself???

FINAL MESSAGE

The Demon Lord freezes you with a look: "YOU WILL STILL FAIL!", he
snarls, "NO AMULET CAN WORK SO CLOSE TO THE CENTRE OF MY POWER". But
the Phoenix dives at the fire, destroying it completely! The Demon Lord
screams and implodes to nothing. Your mission is successful!! You
scored 5475 out of about 6000. You are clearly a Master Adventurer!

How To Start Developing Your Fan Base As A Rap Musician Today

What was the process decades ago to get famous as a Hip Hop artist? Well, you had to send in your demo to record labels and hope for a contract. Meanwhile, you had to perform locally to generate a buzz as well. You could have went to the local radio station and hoped to get played if the DJ liked you. However, today is a new age in the music industry. Nowadays you can create an even bigger buzz using tactics that are ten times easier. If you continue reading on in this article, you will find out the best ways to do so!

The number one thing you must do as a Hip Hop artist today is generate a buzz online. The number one place people listen to new music is the internet. There are plenty of radio stations that stream music online that have open submissions for music that they play. You can even find hundreds of music-based communities to submit your music to, get reviews, and gain new fans. Getting yourself out in as many outlets as possible is the best way to generate a buzz. The internet is here to help you. It will get your music to millions of outlets, if you have talent and are willing to work for it.

Don't only focus online though. Building a local buzz is just as important. Once you build your local buzz by performing at concerts and opening for bigger acts (which may lead to more buzz!), you have to take it to the next level. What's the process to generate a buzz and make a name for yourself on the internet? After all, there is a lot more competition online than there is locally. Luckily, this article has some great tips for you. If you aren't using social media sites yet to market your music, you are definitely doing something wrong!

The best sites to utilize for your music are Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. Get active on Youtube, instead of just posting all of your music and videos for people to view. Get out there, comment on other musicians' videos, collaborate like crazy, which can build a great fan base, and keep at it. Posting videos with links to free music downloads is a great idea every once in a while as well. Every new video you put on Youtube should be posting to Facebook and Twitter, so your followers and fans can get it right away. Gain more fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter by staying active on those sites and by posting in Hip Hop forums. You can find hundreds of Hip Hop forums to join and post to by just searching Google quickly.

Some of the newest faces in Hip Hop, like Hopsin, have generated almost all of their fans through the internet. You can be that next artist in line, if you have the right amount of talent and marketing ability. If you find that you can't market yourself online, there are thousands of marketing agencies out there waiting to help you. I'm sure there are plenty out there that will even give you discounts if they like your music. Good luck with the music career!
