The last comment was stupid!!!!!!! The people that's making the music ain't making no bull. I know for a Fact That it's the stupid people like that dude who's stealing the music online From Either Limewire or Bearshare. That Is The REAL reason Y Records aren't selling as well as they should. No One In the Music Business Is Lazy. In Fact, the lazy Music makers only make it on the Snap Beats. Some of the snap songs don't make sense. It only sound good.

Music aint what it used to be. Anybody can get in da game now, so the lyrics really don't mean nothing. Some people can get on the track and make it sound good to a beat but they aint saying shit. Rappers sound drunk and fucked up in songs. B.I.G. used to get fucked up but when he layed down a track he was serious.Now if you can dance, yougot a record. JEEZY talk about selling dope but he do it real, that's why I fuck with him. No fronting only stunting and spitting it for niggas on the street. Where everybody else at though?

I for 1, hope that the cd doesn't go the way of the cassette. I like going to the store to buy cd's, especially now that I can afford to do that. I will download to a certain extent, but you get way better quality audio from an actual audio cd, so as a Dj, I'll go and support other rappers & musicians cd's. Plus I like the feeling of knowing that I have a cd in my hands and flipping through the artwork and that brand new smell from cracking open a fresh new cd from an artist you like listening too. I mean, I see going from lp's to cd's because of the size, but come on a cd is pretty small, now your going to tell me we going from a cd to data thru the air?! I suppose I am getting used to the whole mp3 and data thing though. But what's after mp3's? lol, That's as small and easy as it can get when it comes to lugging music around as a dj.

shit if they want to make some money off it make it cheap. and why do people feel like just cause they sing good that people need to pay money for a lil enjoyment. i grew up hard as fuck, i been on my grind every day out there hoe'in (not literally just working 12-16 hours a day doing labor) myself just tryin to make ends meet. shit i never had much growin up just a radio and u know that thing kept me sane most of my life, so like when artists nowadays complain about money not comin in or record labels complaining about low profits, just remember what you first started singing for. eminem said it best a few years back.... he said:

It's fucked up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin'
To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted
It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine
Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long
Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives
So they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die
Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you, but we're the fuckin' shit in their eyes
That's why we sieze the moment, and try to freeze it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it, 'cos we consider these minutes golden
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on, through out lyrics that you hear in our songs


remember where you came from and what you originally spoke about and remember, be you, and stay true.
