so let's say the Tech/Em/Lynch song or the Tech/Twista song leaks...

[identity-x]

it would take 2 hands to count the number of people who've messaged me on soulseek asking if I had either of those tracks...

yeesh...

 

[betthatstang]

I guess thats the price you have to pay for having lurkers who can't tell the difference between ideas and something else. You should prolly expect to count w/ your toes also by the time the nights over.

 

[oC triple Oc]

i would use it as advertising- especiall if tech kills em on his verse- people will be like wtf? gotta cop that shit

 

[Robby2Slobby]

well i guess the e40 song got leaked tho so ya never know! but since theres been so many issues with the albulm they'll probably be extra carefull untill its out.

Didn't they put the e40 song on the website for like a day or something? I thought that's how people got it.

 

[Trick420]

i'm really not too sure about that...it was just on the computer one day ready to listen too.

 

[NINE1TREY]

Tech just said in that interview Eminem will be on the track, he's gonna drop the verse after all this remarried shit is over...

I say however you get your shit out there you get it out. Who cares if songs leak your still gonna buy it if your a true fan of the artist, couldn't you download AP? Wasn't the FREE download on Tech's site? Isn't that kind of the same thing? Promote however you want I say, if I can get that song before the album drops shiiiiiiiiiit I'm gonna get it so the people here in NY will realize what I been tellin' em'.....its the year of the N9ne!!!

why u need new shit to get people hooked on tech?.. if the old shit aint workin i doubt new shit will lol

- VERY STUPID
- most of tech's verse, and a short bit of someone elses is too long for a taste. A lil taste should proly be no more than 15 seconds IMO.
- posting it on the most popular hip hop websites would be dumb if you're re-encoding like your first suggestion. But if you do a lil 15 sec. of it or whatever then I guess its whatever.

Personally I think your whole thought on this is dumb to sum it up. No hate though towards ya.

I agree....if it ever did leak would take full responsibility for it? Doesn't seem like a smart move to me but you do what ya wanna do...

 

[Volrox]

you know...the type of songs that could create a LOT of hype for Everready for the folks that aren't in the know.

How would ya'll feel about...

- re-encoding the mp3 to like 64kbps
- making the mp3 a "sample" of sorts, containing most of Tech's verse, the hook, and a short bit of one of the guest artists' verses
- posting it on the most popular hip hop websites on the internet

discuss....

Please fool!!! You don't have these songs! Quit acting like you got something nobody else does!

 

[RapSmark]

I personally think it'd be a smart move to leak out like 2 verses from a track like "Welcome To The Midwest" on a mixtape by one of the big mixtape guys (i.e.: Green Lantern, Whoo Kid, DJ Vlad, Smallz, etc.), and see how it goes from there. Once promotion starts for the album, then slowly leak out like 3 songs for the public. Then, keep that for the public until the official release date for EverReady: The Religion.

he never stated that he had them... fool

 

[bimmerlohver]

Hmmm I always thought tech wanted to stay on the low??? Not give "samples" to get the main stream peps listening to him....... I think that would just defy his whole purpose.

that might be one of the stupidest things i have heard.. im pretty sure tech wants everyone in the world to listen to him... even the main stream peps

 

[MID-WEST785]

ya`ll think techs gonna get some radio play off this album????????????? I doubt it,I aint heard nothin that will get radio play yet.... You know a few spins sure, But are they gonna play it like they play that wak azz laffy taffy and 50 cent bullshit?????? doubt it, well see though....

Come here look in the stores tell me how many Tech albums you find. Not gonna find many, so in reply to your statement, if they cant hear the old shit, why not the new?

 

[the_n_freak]

i'd rather it not leak in a low quality snippet. i don't think that would really be a good way to spread the word or whatever. if people hear a low quality clip, they'll probably not even gonna be interested. i mean, who's gonna get hyped over a 45 second washed out sounding song? most people are too spoiled by free high quality downloads to care about some 32kbps mono song verse, you know? Honestly, i'd rather it not leak at all. leave the advertising to the promoters, that's what they're paid to do.

 

[Einstein]

I agree
