I agree with just about everything you said.
But there is a but....
It ain't just you but a large percentage of artists have complained here that there's too many cats tryin to rap now days.
There is many I will agree, but too many?
I don't think so.... Not when there's so much money to be made.
The only time I wanna see people complaining that there's too many cats tryin to rap is on the same day when there's a shortage of cash....
Lets not be greedy, or whiney....
We must accept our fairlures by humbling our egos.
Higher this ain't directed at you but I thought I throw it on your thread.
Good luck bro, get your hustle on.
There's money to be made....

Something I was thinking of was, why is it that some of us have this Bay Area/California mentality ? Ask Chuck how much business he does outside of the Bay Area, probably alot.
My label focuses mainly on overseas stuff and there is three times as much money to be made overseas. Think Japan, India, Germany, Russia. We have moved thousands of units in India and we're about to sign a major label deal sometime next month. I can't name the company until it's in stone but I'll announce it when it happens.

I don't give a fuck about cats sob stories or reasons they think people should buy their music. Whether you recorded in a million dollar studio or using voice-memo on your cell phone, if I hear fire OR what *I* consider to be real talent & potential, then I'm glad to spend money & support the effort. But that will be the ONLY reason.
I FEEL ALOT ABOUT WHAT YOUR SAYIN CAUSE I BUY ALOT OF UNDERGROUND CDS OUT HERE (THE VALLEY) EVEN IF ITS BULLSHIT ILL SHIT BUY IT.BUT ITS TOO MANY RAPPERS OUT IN THE BAY RIGHT NOW TO BE TRYN TO SUPPORT ALL THAT!!! I WENT OUT TO A RECORD STORE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND I SWEAR,ABOUT 10 RAPPERS RUSHED ME WITH CDS!!! ITS LIKE THE DOPE GAME BUT INSTED OF YAY,PEOPLE GOT BURNED CDS!!! ALOT OF PEOPLE ARENT EVEN ARTIST,THEY JUST SAY SOME BULLSHIT ON THE MIC AND TRY TO SELL IT TO YOU.THERE NOT ARTIST,THEY ARE HUSTLERS!!!!!!! THE BAY GOT THAT HUSTLER MANTALITY.IF ITS MONEY TO BE MADE BETTA BELEAVE -BUMS-HOES-PIMPS-HOODRATS-GANGSTAS-MARKS-AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN IS GOING TO TRY TO BUST A RIME AND SELL IT TO YOU.THATS WHY THE BAY IS HAVEN A HARD TIME COMMIN UP.ITS TOOOOO MANY RAPPERS/HUSTLERS OUT THERE AND ITS HARD TO BUY SOME CDS CAUSE I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN PRESS UP A 1000 CDS FOR 900 OR LESS.HUSTLE THEM OFF FOR 5 TO 10 DOLLARS EACH
OR YOU CAN BUY A PACK OF 100 BLANK CDS FOR 25 DOLLARS,HUSTLE THEM FOR 5 TO 10 DOLLARS EACH.........
A HUSTLERS DREAM!!!!!!!
