"it sucks when an artist is just that greedy.."
This is spoken by someone whose obviously NOT put out a cd for sale in the last few years -
Folks, the well has almost DRIED UP in the Bay for the underground. To be deadly honest, it is VERY hard to even RECOUP your costs for recording, mixing, mastering, features, artwork and cost of pressing anymore. No one is greedy - its just if you want your favorite artist or label to continue, we NEED every sale to make it happen. Greedy would be if Dr.Dre or 50 asked for snippets so they could line their pockets with a few extra sales.
