I must say the article was really well put together but in all reality you really forgot one point to make, freestyle also died out because a lot of these singers was just horrible not only in production but singers. Me being a DJ out of all the freestyle records I got a week in my bin I say maybe 2 was good out of the 10 I got and the rest was just a waste of wax. Labels started over saturating the market with garbage freestyle putting every body and and mother to sing songs. consumers got tired of listening to junk most of the time. Face it labels like Mic Mac was putting out records just to fulfill those freestyle compilations. Marvin and Mickey didn’t give a damn about the artist all he cared about was their pockets and making millions off those compilations to satisfy them and only them. Metropolitan was another label who saturated the market with garbage records also. Out of all the records they put out maybe 4 where good hits. I really think the only label that was really into looking into putting out good freestyle music was Sal from Fever records. Sal was always on top on how a singer should sound on records. Most of these singers was just horrible from Cynthia, Johnny O, Suave and a lot of other horrible singers from that other label Tazmania. I am sorry to say but I only write the truth and I hope that most of you who are trying to bring back freestyle need to understand that the freestyle music has to be something unique & different and with good hooks and vocals for radio to actually take a chance on the genre once again. Can it happen for a second chance I think it can anything is possible in life. I say to all you freestyle artist if you trying to come into this game of the music business get yourself some good lawyers to work out your contracts and don’t let these label reps rip you off like MicMac, Metropolitan, Tazmania, and even Tommy Boy did to a lot of those artist’s back in the days. I know because I use to work for some of these labels doing promotion. I got tired of seeing my latino people being rip off by these labels why because my latino people didn’t have representation working out their recording contracts. The labels was just looking out for their pockets and the hell with the artist when it was time to pay royalties. I have no shame to say it on here but it is the plain truth.
