All I know is if somebody sellin 5 albums for 5 dollars, Ima buy that shit! As it is now in the stores 5 albums would cost you an average of 75 dollars. I aint never gonna spend that kind of loot on cds. And I think thats how most people feel, especially with free music on the net! So your music aint gonna be heard cause nobody is gonna shell out that money for a cd that may or may not be wack. BUt if I could cop your album from the internet for free, then me, the consumer, is more likley to peep your shit, and if its dope, contribute to your pockets by paying to see your concert, your clothing line, whatever. The music alone aint paying nobodys bills anymore in this day and age. I know that your music is your bread and butter, but remember, your fans got to keep bread and butter on thier table as well... and if i could get your album for less than what your charging, best believe Ima take advantage of that...thats just the nature of this capitalistic country we live in... and dont front... all of you who talkin down on bootleggin, go look in your cd case - I know you got some cd-rs in there
