if its a single sampler then yes.....like if it has a full length song or two plus album cuts that are just snippets.....if I look at a cd and I see that there's not one full length song on there I generally don't listen to it. how bout instead of doing mixtapes drop an album sampler, that way they can use industry beats to "freestyle" and showcase their lyricism, throw on album snippets, and really give a feel for the artist & the album coming soon...
