In all honesty mad rappers out here get blinded by the money and let the money dictate what there music is. They put money over music which is a sell out if you ask me personally.
peep situation 1:
There got 20 joints recorded. 5 songs "if that" is what they feel is "the hit" and the rest of them are filler joints. so they will take around 3 of the hit joints blend it with 10 fillers so they have an album. Then they will take the remaining 5 filler joints plus those 2 hits and add about 3 freestyles and intro/outro to make the mixtape (just to cake up, get gauc, whateva term you fuckin what to use).
Cats need to realize it aint all about the money, because when they think just that, there art lacks. strait up point blank
