Mixtapes.....
- Thread starter Cuddie Cut
- Start date
Also because we dont just "bootleg" an album....They're more used as promotional tools and labels LIKE it...They just can't come out and say so publicly because it IS illegal...But I get asked to throw peoples songs on my tapes by the label peeps...The problem why more Bay artists don't blow up is because they STILL view mixtapes as bootlegging and threaten DJs if they put their song on there...I won't name names lol...But a few Bay cats have gotten hip to the shit and watch their shit sell more because of it!
Nice post brotha...BTW - you can take anything that I have personally laced and use it at ya leisure. I got your email too but when I replied it bounced...probably cause ya site was down too. It's a go aight... email me your # [email protected]

When I was in the Bay a couple months back I saw Cellski's mixtapes, the Watch Out Now mixtape & A-Wax's mixtape for between $10-$12. That price is close enough to the actual price of a cd. Mixtape's should be $5 and no more. FriscoStreetShow.com, the mixtape's on their are the same prices as the normal cds. I'd imagine their store prices are not much different.
Later!!
