i say give it a couple more years and u'll see the industry start to fall apart with so many people burning CD's now adays and so many more learning, producers and artist like its happening now will continue to pay millions to stop piracy. But its funny, mixtapes are selling like hot cakes, i think once they put a stop to limewire and programs like that, artist will stop selling out and bringin real rap again. with the industry how it is right now its really hard for the underground to come up. seriously, listen to alot of the underground stuff and u'll see how good some of those people who still workin a 9-5 are.

example, look at Outkast, look back in the days where the WHOLE outkast CD was good and look at the outkast CD to date. Garbage. like i always say, "Put 2-3 videos on the TV, and watch everyone buy the CD"
