I honestly dont care what you think of me...im gonna KEEP DLn albums...and ima KEEP spending the money on the ones that deserve it...
And I stil dont see WHY people think its such a big deal..im NOT burning copies for the homies..im NOT selling em burned on eBay....they stay ON my computer...if i DONT like the album..it gets DELETED right away....

^^^^^^
the problem is the majority of rap consumers nowadays don't have as much integrity as you, especially in the bay area. if they did, then our local artists would be pushing numbers like they do down south.
i agree with the whole "previewing before buying" thing, because yes, there is a lot of garbage being put out these days. however, i feel it should be on the artists' terms (a la Northern Ridaz) because like i said above, not everyone goes out and buys an album they downloaded that they "liked".

Yo, you're taking this waay to personal. You keep saying "I" and "Me" and "I'm" as if this whole topic is about YOU in particular when it isn't.
As Nick Pro pointed out, the majority have the attitude that 'igodummy' has: why pay for it when you can get it for free? It's as simple as that.
When you go to the meat counter at the supermarket, they allow you to taste test a slice of whatever meat you want before you buy a sandwhich. They don't GIVE you a whole sandwhich and hope you like it then buy it. They would go out of business if they did that.

Nothin wrong with a good debate, dog. You have your point of view and I have mine. You might be used to cats backing down from you but you won't get that from me. Acting innocent? What does that even mean??
Again it aint all about YOU. You ever think that, maybe ... just maybe ... you're the one arguing with me?
