How to make your opinion COUNT in the music industry:
Okay. You SAY you want better Rap/Hip-Hop and how much you appreciate when someone like me goes the extra mile to produce such cuts for you to enjoy. But you'll never change the opinions and formats of the music programmers and what the label execs seek out if you pirate your fav underground rap instead of buying the mp3 from a reputable online retailer like iTunes or Spotify or Amazon, etc.
All the music industry is looking at is SALES. Your pirated mp3 not only robbed the artist of the percentage they'll get from that lost sale, but you also deprived your self of logging in a cheap VOTE into the machine that is the music mainstream. Pirating the mp3 you like robbed you of SHARING that preference with the big wigs in entertainment. The artist may never get taken serious, even though you think they're awesome and should be on the radio.
You saved a buck, or less, in most cases; but lost so much more than that, if you think about it. The ripple effects are that the sale never got made to get reported to Billboard and other monitors of sales, the sales that determine which artists they'll try to sign to lucrative record deals and who'll get played on the radio. Then, the same artists that you don't like stay in place and remain unchallenged as better. It's a way of silencing your own opinion by being too cheap to part with less than a cup of coffee costs at the gas station.
I've got some good songs that are being pirated online. It would be nice for those of you who pirated me to buy at least ONE of the songs you liked, to throw a few pennies my way and to log in your vote for my better material.
I KNOW you guys love the "Prophecy" series I did. The best, in my opinion, is "Acknowledge Me", which was the final mix of the series. To find it, you'd do a search on your fav mp3 retailer site for CIOFANI Acknowledge Me Rap/Hip-Hop and it should come up...Some places, it's less than a buck, like on Amazon.
If you liked "Retarded" enough to pirate it, then log in a cheap vote for BOTH of us by buying the mp3!
For real, this is how it works. Pirating hurts you, too.
I could use a few people out there to put their money where their mouth is and log a few cheap votes my way...Then, you have the official mp3 and your vote into the giant music machine to be logged forever that you liked the song enough to actually BUY it instead of stealing it.
If you're gonna check out my stuff and find that you don't like either of the above songs I mentioned, just search for CIOFANI and see what else comes up. There's also a couple of Jazz fusion songs out there that you may like.
Someone share this info...It's not doing artists any good to produce songs if the opinion of those monitoring that production is that nobody likes it, anyway.
