Title: does anyone else do this...or am i crazy?
Post by: 4 KiN L on December 30, 2001, 09:19:16 AM
ok...a few weeks ago i had my money ready to go to leigh central music zone and buy nate dogg'z new album...dre chronicles and cubes greatest hits...but then my friend said to me "don't bother paying full price...i have all cubes songs on my computer...i'll burn them for you, if you wait a couple of weeks i will get all nate doggz songs too, he said i already have all the songs on the new dre album so there was no point getting it" it's true about the dre album...but being a fan i still wanted it to add to my collection...but anywayz i told my mate to fuck off and i bought the albums anyway...

am i crazy or do all you fans like to buy the original albums too?? it isn't only that i want to give money to tha rappaz...but i like to say i have a real copy of the album....i think that makes me a better fan than them too. the only burned album i have is an unofficial album which has all the soundtracks subbmissions on that one cd.to save me buying loads of soundtracks that i don't really like!!

the basic question is...do u like to buy a real copy of the albums too?

I support artists, I support hip-hop music, I'm not a fucking leach of society.... I buy music, you have to have the experience of getting your money together and buying the real authentic album to fully appreciate the record.

I download them as I dont have a CD Player no more, I only really listen to my music on the PC, I got a nice speaker system for it, but I'm trying to get hold of albums second hand so I guess I'm a 50/50 leach, I refuse to pay £13+ for a cd, I dunno thats just how I am, and we all now the artist gets about 0.2% of all sales, so whats the point.

And as for people saying if you dont but there music your not real fans, I'm listening to it arent I, instead of something like N Sync and Britney,

Id much rather spend my money on there merchindise ie posters, mags, clothing and DVDs etc

Dont hate the Burner..........Hate the Game

*doggystylin take notice*

Artist: Fabolous f/ Pain In Da Ass
Album:  Ghetto Fabolous
Song:   The Bad Guy

[Pain In Da Ass]
You're all a bunch of fucking assholes
You know why?
Cause you don't got the guts to be what you want to be
Fabolous...he doesn't have that problem
He always tells the truth
That's what it's all about?
That's what we work so hard for Fabolous?
So they can point their fucking fingers
and call me the fucking bad guy?

[Verse 1]
I guess I'm the bad guy
The fingers is pointing
Nigga, I don't go in no clubs without bringing my joint in
They be asking fellas why (why?)
It's cause the streets is watching
With an envious ear, jealous eye
You know how William H. Bonnie's rockin
I keep the home phone and two way contact to Johnny Cochran
Be the same dudes, testing your patience
In them hospitals, resting like patients, confessing to agents
You smell me, you gotta spray the Wesson like fragrance
And you pay your way out arrests and arraignments
These playas been playin' foul
And I done learned my lesson with flagrants
Nigga, this how I live it ain't just entertainment
I'm what they been trying to do, not do
I'm the kid, they been lying to you
You need people like me
I'm so F A B O L O U S
Yeah, that's the bad guy

[Pain In Da Ass]
You need people like me
So you can point your fucking fingers
And say, "That's the bad guy."
So, what they make you?
Good?

[Verse 2]
Bitches think all they gotta do is say the child is Sports
Quit they job and live off the child support
How could you stand there, smile in court
I'ma just settle, fly back to them Cayman Isle resorts
You better sign a pre-nup
You catch me instead of 'it wasn't me'
I'm gonna say 'where you get a key from?'
I love the way your butt swishes
But non of these slut bitches
is worth me asking my doctor why my nuts itches
If they see how the Rolls Royce smell
All day I be emptying my in box and my whole voice mail
I'll be ready to light the weed and pull it
Now every chick want to make me come faster than a speeding bullet
But I ain't into coaching birds like Tony LaRussa
I done had the thickest chickens to the boniest roosters
Who have trouble getting the kid like me to spend
Ma you'll never see a bad guy like me again, for real

[Pain In Da Ass]
So say goodnight to the bad guy, come on
It's the last time you're gonna hear a bad guy ???
You better make way, it's a bad guy coming through

[Verse 3]
Come on
What type of bad guy give fellas dap, females hugs
I making my business, my kids won't have to retail drugs
I get threats over the two way from email thugs
I ride with ratchets, clips under the CL rugs
Think I'm liking you? Wrong
Cause even if I get locked
My money won't let me stay on Rikers too long
Case dismissed, the DA even liking the song
Right back to the P's, latest pair of Michael's shoes on
When you holla in the club it's cool
But don't change the subject fool
And start askin if I remember you from public school
You know I done heard dozens, of these birds buzzing
Talking 'bout I used to fuck with they 3rd cousin
FYI, stay the fuck from 'round me
??? guys who want to hear somebody stuck or clown me
I don't care what other haters do
But if you think I'm loved for saving you
Say goodnight to the bad guy

[Pain In Da Ass]
Whoever said to us
Now maybe you can buy yourself
one of them first class tickets to the Resurrection
(*Gun Shot*)

2 messages up from this: u are still a fan even if u burn albums...just not as good a fan as the ones who buy originals...where abouts in uk do u live?? because music zone is £9.99 or less for a single cd LP, u should go there...some of snoops oldest albums...the classic ones to us...they are now £6.99 in the special offer thingy...and also...u aint giving them money by buying postaz and mags...1.they don't really get payed when u buy a magazine they have been interviewed with..02. if u buy postaz from ur local market...they have printed and laminated them themselvez...and even gb posters aren't actually affiliated with the artists themselves...they mainly make posters for when they tour here...

but u are right £14 is a rip off 4 a cd...but get ur azz down to ur local music zone!

I always, always buy OG versions........unless I don't really like the particular artist too much, then i'll just d/l the songs I happen to like from them. I just love having the quality art work & having all the production info & little things like that.

I always buy originals too. Though sometimes I download a few songs in advance to see if the album's worth it. I am guilty of one thing, though: I've got Nate's album on mp3's on my computer, but for a perfectly good reason: You can't get it in Finland. I could order it from a webstore, but it would cost almost double the price. I couldn't buy Return of the Regulator or Deuces 'n Trayz from the record stores either, but I ordered those. But Nate's is soooo expensive.
