Anyway, the topic is more along the lines of: How do you or do you suggest things to big ego people.
What exactly do you mean by "producing people"?

I mean, I've worked with artists and I'll be the "beat maker", record and mix the product and give my input on every stage of the process.... but I never really felt the need to say, "Hey. Great job on that song. It's hot....but... if you want to take it to the next level... uh...well.... Those sneakers gotta go."

I guess I can see what you're saying by a rapper should be presentable to the public eye, but I don't really think what you look like will have an affect on your career (in a negative way I should say....unless you're the icy hot stuntaz...and even then there image is why they ever got attention..haha). If your music is hot, people will buy it. Susan Boyle, while not hip hop in any way, looks like she fell out the fugly tree and hit every hot damn branch on the way down..... but her album sold the most first week copies for an artists' debut album since Snoop's Doggystyle in 93.....Hmmm... maybe you should start having your artists dress like Susan.....
