• Death To Mixtapes, DTM™ ...

"If you ever see me post up DTM then...yeah...that's what it means. Everyone & their kid has taken commercial instrumentals and heavily abused 'em over these last 10 years. Now that we are enter'n the 10s, us artists need to end this. Mixtapes have got'n old & doesn't separate the REAL artists from the trash ones. Any artist who's serious about their music isn't gonna pass up the fact to have exclusive tracks that they can market, promote, perform & distribute how they please without have'n to worry about copyright violations. And those artists keep their cover songs to a minimum. Commercial & already establish'd artists are the ones that release mini projects with a compilation of cover songs (a mixtape).

Welcome to the Street Album era. All you new artists need to separate yourself by find'n your own sound. Come on now, do you want the listener to always think of the original artists of the track every time the hear a beat that you record'd over? Of course not. You want them to focus on you since you are try'n to get out there & be heard. SO! All you serious artists, head over to soundclick, myspace or wherever you know hot producers are, if you can't afford exclusive rights then LEASE. Still better than use'n someth'n that's already used..."
