honestly no, because as an upcoming artist unless you got something REAL special, you should always give away your music for free until you get signed to a label. If you don't, then no one is going to care to listen to you. They'll simply move on to the other million internet rappers that are putting out their shit for free.

I don't think this was a good idea for you, If you were doing this simply just to get a few bux to maybe upgrade your equipment that's different. Though, now it just seems to dumb to stop people from hearing your music, especially when all you really are trying to do is get exposure.

With that said, If I ever get money that I dont use on weed and drugs, I'll send ur way for this album.

It's called testing the waters, any smart business man would know know he has to have a soft-launch before he goes all in. Maybe you wouldn't want me buying your CD but I KNOW there are plenty of people here would would want us being theirs. The thing is, you gotta start somewhere, and I'm actually one of the few people making real moves, getting my name out there. I've been giving shit out for free since 2006, this is my very first time I've charged anyone for anything and I think that's MORE than fair seeing as it does cost an artist to get his work done. $6.97 isn't much to ask for. I know people are gonna take this wrong saying "Oh Spag needs our help because he can't sell shit" but that couldn't be further from the truth because I am selling copies, I'm just showing how fake some of ya'll are when you say you support an artist. I've had tons of people here saying they'd cop the album and give feed before it dropped and when it dropped it went basically unnoticed because people are cheap.

My two cents: I'm broke at the moment. After buying equipment, buying rights to beats, traveling back and forth from New York to Kentucky, Virginia to North Carolina, etc, I'm left penniless with empty pockets.

On that note, you know that I of all people here support your music to death, and I'm obviously going to pay for the CD, but that won't be until I move in the next month, because until then I just don't have the means.

I'm just glad to see you advancing, and hopefully we really can work on something sometime. For now, I need to work 2 jobs for the bills of moving.

With all due respect Steve, you've been here long enough to know that a great majority of us are down on our luck kind of people. We aren't rich; granted, some people have a little more, but most of us aren't. You've also been here long enough to know how hard it is to get people to actually give you the attention you deserve. A great deal of the members on this site barely go near the audio section, and of those that do there's a portion that just bump their own shit or leave feed on one song just so they can post a link in their thread so it stays open. So getting people to actually buy something on here? It's gonna be hard. So it's good that you're selling copies elsewhere regardless.

As for me personally? I literally have no money. So much so that I haven't seen any of my friends for a straight month and I am at constant risk of losing my Internet access. So I do apologise that I can't buy your EP, but I can tell you're pretty resentful about this.

Yes I said i'd cop your album and give feed, but I can't do that if I can't buy it to listen to it can I? I mean shit. If that makes me "fake" then so be it man. And yeah i'm aware you probably weren't talking to me but I just felt I should say that.

Kez, you explained your situation to me and I let you know before I was fine with that. I'm not resentful towards you, I'm resentful towards everyone else who said they'd buy a copy, knowing full well it'd have a price for the one time, and didn't. It just shows the type of character they have. I think mostly everyone here knows I've supported everyone when it comes to doing their thing and if someone actually did release something commercially I'd be there to the support them with that which is more than some people here would do. People are just so hypocritical, it bugs me.

Hell yeah! Didn't see your post up there. You gotta check out the pro-studio I'm in now, talk about pristine sound. Let's get on that track ASAP!

Personally i don't have iTunes & i'm sure i'm not the only one in this situation.I usually get hard copies.If i really need/want smth from iTunes i have a friend that can get it for me.
You should really pay more attention to twitter & FB.As much as some people hate those 2,you can really get your music outhere thru them,don't sleep on them.I'll try to cop this soon,good luck :flower:

That's good man, I'm glad it is. You know what you could do, maybe release like 10 sec samples of each song for this site, if we really like it you might convince a few that have the money. Just an idea.

Well if you click on the iTunes link you get more than a 10 second preview, lol.

Just a suggestion: Get the album on Amazon. If you do, I'd be able to buy it much sooner (because I have money in Paypal, but it's not bank approved so iTunes won't let me spend it there).

Also, I heard the samples and I'm liking the style. It sounds like a very chill "ride around" type of sound that would make a few blunts more enjoyable.

Thanks man, I actually made the CD with that type of setting in mind (especially "Parking Lot Fun" as you will tell once you hear)!

As for Amazon I just uploaded there, it should be up in a few days so let me know when you see it!

Thanks for the interest homie!
