Ever wondered what it must be like to be in a Top Dawg Entertainment recording studio? Well, fans got a glimpse this week as the record label’s “studio rules” surfaced online.
TDE, which is home to major artists like Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q, have five rules for once you’re inside the studio (an additional rule outside the studio is “If you not the homie, don’t come in here.”)
But assuming you are the homie and you make it through the door, there are other commandments you must abide by. They include being able to keep your phone in your pocket, and being able to take a roasting … Of course, the actual TDE rulebook says it better than we ever could:
1. If you ain’t one of the homies don’t be Instagramming you creepy muthafucka. I don’t wanna look on yo Twitter and find a creepy ass pic of me or one of the homies, matter of fact, No Twitter or Instagram in the studio! Act like you been around a bunch of rich niggaz from the bottom before!
2. If the homies just met you and decide to clown your bitch azz, sit there and deal with it. It’s part of the creative juices.
3. Don’t touch, ask, or reach for Q’s weed, unless he thinks you cool enuff to pass it to you. We only smoke stersonals around here boy.
4. Shut up and look ugly for the homies.
5. Remember these rules and you might get a meal out the food budget.

Studio rules? What a bunch of controlling assholes no wonder there music always come out like garbage if they some rich ass dude like they say why not pay for a decent engineer and some real producers? All that in-house b.s is wack all there producers suck and people think this is the best there is? You in L.A you got the best access the some of the best studios and engineers in the world but you wanna save every dollar and go the cheap route and pay your engineer with food from your “food budget” lol what a bunch of clowns this just goes to show what I said about these lames all along
Damn bro..you really got all in your feelins over an in house set of rules that was obviously menat to be funny. Its overly emotional bithes like you that fuck up the internet for the rest of us
“all along”? Who are you again? It’s obvious TDE makes you very emotional.
Im a producer. Been to 100’s of studios never seen any bullshit rules like that before. If its supposed to be funny then whats funny about it? Juzt sound some like some egotistical assholes for real
We don’t believe you, you need more people.
Rule #6: make a instagram video of you smoking Q’s weed and using Top’s secret bath room to jerk it to
