Both sides of this argument are corny in their own right (to a certain extent).
Done Deal Ceo - I understand the rally the troops mentality surrounding bay area music but to come on this message board (which is now comprised of probably 95% fans and 5% percent wannabe industry people) and essentially whine about "where's the love" is kind of corny. You say we need "less finger pointing", but that's exactly what you did in that post.
Everybody else - No one really keeps track of when an individual agreed with this, disagreed with what, who hated on this, who dick rides that. It's essentially pointless to agree with or disagree with a post like this. You aint gaining or losing no points with anybody.
This is the type of shit that happens when cats start worrying stuff that has nothing to do with the actual music on the CD. It turns into some pointless debate about nothing. Ask yourself "Why do I really give a fuck about E-40's sales numbers if all I do is listen to his music?"
