it's not that people "deny", it's just that there is no reason why they should know who these beatmakers/programmers are.

most people listen to music when it is validated by where they here it or who they see cosigning it.

most people don't go out of their way to find obscure, up-and-coming acts, gauging their talents using their own critical thinking and understanding of music and talent.

hence, most people don't just listen to "beats".

there's a reason scratch magazine went out of business.

but i think what i posted in here is very much a continuation of the of thinking used when i levied the criticism of the LA beat scene shunning rappers and making "rap songs" as being their downfall some 4-5 years ago.

i mean samiyam released an album last week, i posted about it, it didn't even get 1 response.

how many people do you think even downloaded it, illegally?

i'd venture less than 1000.
