I feel you on this shit, but software and computers made it easier for artists to record. They also have classes for the shit. Artists are just getting smarter. That's all that is. Niggas ain't feelin your 20 to 40 bucks an hour to record a few tracks. It's good to know your homework, but what you gonna do as far as puttin dollaz in your pocket? If you handin it out free, the least you could do is get some input on your album and/or mixtape. If your shit is slappin, then get paid for your talent. Real will recognize real. They won't move over, but they will get ran over. Simple as that. - REY RU of BLACK FAM
