I agree with everything you said there. That's what what the first Threads tape dope. At the same token over time you'll see who the on point people are. I could easily recommend who to cut off the tape and which emcees to add. Emcees that deserve attention. But it's like let them live. At least their somewhat creative stringing words into raps. If you made a tape filled with only rappers that have actual pressed up CDs? If you used that standard to bring in talent, you'd bring Threads to the next level. It's just some members here have me feeling edgy. I appologize, it's my thoughts. Not trying to spoil the vibe. I do have a feeling that the second Threads tape is going to top even the first. And you are the complete right Hip Hop head/producer to lead these projects. Props to Eseph on the physicals too. My, if Quest could see us now!!! This might sound a bit harsh Crump, but again, honesty is important 1st of all, one of the main points of this project, was(is) to give every artist in here an equal chance at bein a part of something "bigger" Its first and foremost a community thing, a project thatd potentially benefit everyone on here, and create a space to collaborate, spare and share, whilst delivering quality product, overseen and somewhat guaranteed by me I chose not to judge and be selective bout technical abilities, content, artistic charisma, if I did, NO ONE would have made the cut - I respect everyones grind and Im havin a good time puttin in the hrs needed to take this where it can go, but make no mistake, we are not goin to the pros, cause none of us are pros, simply passionate souls that loves this music Take my word for it, its to be trusted Also, pressed up CDs is simply not a measuring tool for judging quality in music Everyone can do that

I was reaching out to several people to be part of it because I know how dope the talents who have submitted to the tapes are. Thought that Pungent Beats and Mr. KING would be a great addition. The homie was just at Young Zee's crib in Newark but he already know how the Outz get down; Zee was even charging individuals to collab on his compilation. Know a dude who released various projects and has an ethic like AC, unfortunately he refuses to work with anyone without getting paid. If Crumple can bring in bigger names that'd be dope. I just appreciate the opportunity to collab

Theres a clear divide here, we have the luxury of puttin in x amount of time, cause our paycheck is guaranteed by that OTHER j-o-b... If rap is your main gig, you hafta treat every second of audio as the next meal ticket. Cause thats what it is. Funny thing is, someone like you will wrap circles around some of these established cats but thats just what it is

The reason I look at artist who drop actual physical product is that they prepare "Masterpieces" rather than simple uploads. An upload can be set after mastering. But to graphic design the tray cards, CDs, etc - that's a tonne of more work.
You said everyone can drop CDS - I respectfully disagree. I'm sure you know and love the feeling of buying Vinyl, looking through liner notes. Gino totally does.
In my whole life I only know like 7 artists in my whole life that I've met in person who have any sort of physical product. And this was when CDs counted as well.
I just find that artists who take time to drop physicals are a different breed. Unless their just some rich kids who throw easy money into manufacturing. If the artists come from the hood it means more. Not saying one is greater than the other - but whoever kinda fights for it more - that makes a difference.

If anything I'd ask my homies looking for shine to be added on, but I don't know what their currently working on.
Regardless - Pigeon - you're doing an excellent job at all of this. Stay doing your thing. It'd be great to have at least 5 of these albums out, if not more. It's your vision.

Theres an interesting convo to be had here... I took it that when you talked about some people on here deserving a spot more than others, that you based it on your evaluation of their skills, which would be a normal metric for an executive producer to use - in this case I chose not to, as it would contradict the very foundation of the project, as I explained above. From what I gather now, it seems your criteria for deserving a spot, is more based on the degree of "fighting" for ones place in the artform and dedication to the craft, which I can also understand... Since your argument seemingly had zero to do with the quality of the music, my counterpoint is null and void, but Ill present it anyway in the simplest way possible: Spending the time and ressources to press up, as opposed to uploading, does not in any way ensure great or greater music, merely a greater workload. I will give you this tho, the dopest emcees I know of has countless releases behind them. But Ive seen a lotta weedplates too.

Ultimately, however Threads worked - it worked to a great end result. The project sounded dope. Weed plates, ouch! But I get it. Ultimately I respect anyone who drops a product. But then there's Wu Tang Forever CDs, and Illmatic tapes.
