Cdubb, i feel you on all that shit but really Bay On Top is just .0001% of the sites that really leak shit. That site just posts links from other mofos that really up'd your shit!

regardless of whats done or said! that shit will never stop and truthfully no one is starting to really give a fuck anymore..........local bay cats like us can actually use that for promotion especially if you leak it first using a site that tracks each download, that way you can use that ratio as a plus! cats just need to step they game up and use the negative as a plus! adapt to changes!

i hear alot of rappers talkin bout rappin cuz they gotta eat but most of the time they rather buy a $5000 watch at highline and eat at jack in the box instead of saving up , buying a house and eating like a king...downloadin aint never gonna end and it really only effects mainstream artists cuz more money is spent on their promo and the money lost couldve been money "re-coup" money compared to a local underground artist that paying a couple hundred on some flyers that was made by a half ass graphic designer.

Ive always uploaded all our albums! the way i see it, its better to be me uploading it then some other cat doing it! People are also tired of garbage ass artists releasing BOO BOO so they rather listen before buying....nothing wrong with that!

its just a revolving door...once they figure out how to stop the illegal downloading (cant see it happening) people will find another way of doing it!

Hell yeah you know what's up. Fucking so much bullshit albums out here nowadays that you have to download and peep before buying it even your favorite rapper's from out here. It is a sad thing. I also download the old school albums I can't find anymore or the ones I bought like 2 or more times. That got lost or stolen lol.

artists on this site should appreciate it.

ive never heard of 99% of the artists on this site. not saying their cant be some good music being made, but reality is it wont hurt you regardless. it is free promo in the end. and like some said, if its good people will be interested and buy it.

bannin you for that doesnt seem like sumthin they'd do.....they let illmannered run a bitch fest in there for a long ass time before he got banned.......they even pulled his cd's off the site.....

....personally he was gettin exposure from them.....everyone who downloaded his albums never woulda bought them cuz he is an unheard producer......he bitched about gettin exposure.....

....if it wasnt for downloadin free music i woulda never been into bay music and therefor not have boughtin the cd's i have or payed money for the concerts i went to......
