First of all, I'm not sure who this is. As you can see, they haven't even identified what their 'label' is called. In an effort to help unsigned artists, we host their mixtapes for only $200. Most other DJ's charge around $1000, but unsigned artists don't usually have that kind of budget, so we set the price to low to help them out. Previous mixtapes that we've hosted for artists like Sin Sizzerb have gotten them features in XXL, writeups on mtv and all hip-hop, etc. This is obviously someone who did not go very far with their project, and is looking to blame other people for their failures. The music industry is a tough place, and less then 1% of people go anywhere at all. There is no 'magic pill' in this industry, and a mixtape hosted by Jay-Z doesn't guarantee any success. A lot of people of people get frustrated with this fact and feel a need to lash out emotionally - "he uses myspace to get girls" haha In terms of my 'reputation', here is a partial list of my accomplishments: - Rolling Stone number 3 hip-hop album of all time - vibe mixtape series of the year - 2 justos mixtape awards - national tv show on russell simmons' h2o channel - shows all over the world - europe, asia, australia, middle east, all over the US
