>I don't wanna take from Common. <BR>>I even offered to pay him <BR>>his percentage (and I'll probably throw <BR>>in a tip if I feel <BR>>like it). <P>If I feel like it?!!!<P>Fool, you've already said that Common deserves alot more than the record company's gonna give him,yet you are only willing to pay him "his percentage"?!!! You betta give him the full amount PLUS a big ol tip for this bullshit.<P>Sure the recor companies are takin the artists for a ride, but to put forward this as a solution is disrespecting the artist even further. You wanna do him a favor, buy that ish twice from the Okaystore and tell all your friends to do the same. Think he's gonna get his props from your MP3 or by us putting out the word so that people all over cop that ish. I'd love to desrtoy the profit system as much as anyone else, but until the revolution comes, I'm gonna do what I can to make sure his ish goes Platinum.<P><BR>love and respect,<BR>El Rey<P>"I prefer to speak of the impossible, because we already know too much about what is possible" Silvio Rodriguez<P>"If our profanity offends you, look around you and see how destructively society is profaning itself.
