lol, so go and download it. I upped it on our blogspot.
i did. i think his voice, in the state it's in, would be much more suited for some horrorcore, Gravediggaz type shit than some west coast G-Funk like he tried to do here. idk. it just gives the music an element that doesn't quite work. he could seriously put together a great project if he just put something together that fit his voice better.... and avoided singing at all costs lol! the beats and tracks are ok btw. nothing special. i think i'll check "No One Can Do It Better" next.

But the good surprises are that much better...also, some of the albums i bought back in the day i didnt like too much but I listen now and I love them cuz I've changed and can relate more or for various other reasons. Not to mention I like to support hip hop cuz maybe the dudes first album wasnt great but with proper support his next project might be that much better and close some doors on the bullshit that's out now... Downloading is the problem with all the bullshit music out people! Nobody wants to work hard on a project to have ppl only download it. Why do u think hip hop is so dumbed down now? Start buying real hip hop... logging into a website and discussing music or looking for new shit to DL is NOT support!
i agree we need to support the artist and buy their albums and while i know artists get upset at people dl'ing their work, as an artist myself, getting it out there is more important to me than selling mega copies. artists actually make more at concerts and the more people dl'ing it, the more potential fans will come to your concert. as an artist myself i recognize this. while i recognize it costs me money to press my shit and so i do wish to at least sell enough hard copies to make a small profit, it is more important for me to get my shit out there so that when i do decide to go and do a concert i have a fan base that i can make aware that i am planning a show and i can make my money there. but overall the problem of downloading (it is definitely a problem of sorts) is not the problem that is leading to wack music. on the contrary, some of your favorite artists embrace downloading. don't believe me? i have connects to some of your favorite artists and could easily ask them. trust me. the artist have, do and always will bank more on concerts than album sales even prior to the download era. no, this is not the problem with music today, but rather it is a reflection of a system that is corrupt. dl'ing is actually a sign of revolt from the people against the record industry and the system itself who give us very little money and expect us to be able to buy their products so that with mediocre jobs we can barely skirt by. dl'ing is a method of bypassing this system. the people have effectively, through technology, revolutionized the record industry. i support dl's. what i don't support is a system that doesn't embrace dl's, effectively hurting the artist quite severely.
