Instrumental Albums Dont Equal FREE BEATS
http://kevinnottingham.com/2009/12/20/instrumental-albums-are-not-free-beats/
Being thru this same scenario recently with some clown who got a hold of a beat tape of mine via the “grapevine”, I can painfully relate. Reading this article just struck a chord with me & brought back the frustration!
so…
ATTN: EMCEE’S:
I appreciate the fact that you may be inspired upon listening to a certain beat, so if you want to collaborate with any hint of mutual artist respect, just give a SHOUT! thats all you gotta do!…don’t be a snake & just snatch beats from people who have taken YEARS on their CRAFT. This shit doesn’t just fall outta the sky, we (or at least some of us! 
) DIG DEEP, put in massive amounts of work to create these sounds for the masses to enjoy.
If you from the town of Seattle (but even if you’re not) & the project is something I can feel, I will more than likely get down with you for very little charge, I ain”t no greedy crook, but then again I need record/diggin’ money too!
PEACE!
