actually, it seems like y'all been pretty successful without having to depend on 106 and Park.

btw, i'm curious, do you

A) make music independant of outside pressure then after the product's complete, hope that it'll have commercial success


B) make music while simultaneously considerin' what's necessary for commercial appeal

i'm rootin' for a.

i'm all for commercial success 'cause i want all folks to have access to good music but i'm hopin' that artists don't purposely compromise their genetic style just for the sake of creatin' consumer-friendly music.
