    Saw that JJ video a while ago and I agree with it. Producers/Beatmakers spend to much time/money into their work for these artist to take advantage of the "Free DL".

    I mean what do the producers/beatmakers go looking for/Need?

    Computers
    Vst's
    Workstations
    Midi Controllers
    Monitors
    Interfaces
    etc...

    What do the artist have/need?

    Pen/Pencil.
    Notebook.
    Mic. (Producer might even have this too)

    and these "artist" can't even spend $25 on a damn beat. They'll spend hundreds to thousands on clothes, jewelry, photoshoots and videos, etc...but when it comes to a beat they don't have $25? and get mad that you taxin 'em.

    Any "Artist" that can't purchase a $25 lease/Exclusive Rights needs to just quit. IJS

    this is true
    there is a cost of doing business

    but i also feel that when your at the bottom you shouldnt even be considering the cost of doing beusiness

    you should be figuring out who your camp is,what you gel like etc

    for 2 no nmae artists to be chargin each other for beats and verses is crazy.

    if you respect someone's art,respect their art and when u build up to the point where u r someone who generates revenue,then you break bread
