FREE99 ALL DAY!!!!

...ONCE UPON A TIME,

A rapper would let everyone know he had an album coming out, he would go on radio, do interviews, leak a track or 2, be on the cover of magazines, do a show here and there, even do a video, that they would play on a MTV, VH1 AND/OR BET... The highly anticipated album would drop (usually on a tuesday) and everyone would go to their nearest mom & pop, best buy, circuit city, or even target, to cop the album.

Now, with the growth of the internet, and the absence of the A&Rs, the big time record labels and the Real TALENT...hell, lets just say, the ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY.... you barely get to see any of the above....You might see a video, on MTV JAMS...and on BET's 106 & park (is that STILL ON???) but the real rotation is on the youtubes, dailymotions, vimeos, and the dredded Worldstar!!!! the mom & pops are gone, and really, WHY buy cds? where ya gonna put em? (THANX ITUNES) who needs a radio show, when internet radio got that down packed, and everyone and their momma has a video camera, so everyone gets to do their own video interviews and their own lil vlogs ...thats a video blog, just in case you didn't know... and if your internet following is NOT on point, then YOU as an artist is not on point. The PLUS SIDE IS... EVERYONE is not in the street like they used to be, pestering you to buy their cd for $5...they have resorted to download links, mixtape sites, and social media.. and the beautiful part...ITS ALL FREE!!!!! so I can get to sample some new stuff, dislike it, and not feel bad because i went & paid for it. Even known artists WHO HAD videos on REGULAR TV... who have a following, BEFORE INTERNET... are resorting to the free download...i got my hands on Fab's THE S.O.U.L. TAPE 2, AND I MUST SAY, A NICE PIECE OF WORK... prolly would've PAID for it...


now Harlem's own JUELZ SANTANA is back with a mixtape... and to be honest, if i had to pick out of that whole DIPSET/BYRDGANG/DIPLOMATS crew...i pick Juelz, NOE, Uncasa..and Ruger (Hell) Rell... however, like Fab, Juelz's baby moms got sum tv shine (tv guap) from that LOVE & HIP HOP...not a bad look for the ladies, but the fellas chose to stick to the music....so before the end of the week, i shall be gettin my FREE DOWNLOAD of JUELZ latest GOD WILL'N ,

what I got to lose? but space on my ipod...LOL
