I guess I'll start by saying thank you for addressing something that bothers me to no end on a daily basis. Co-signs use to be more valuable, more respected and less likely to be handed out by any tom, dick, or harry. The only way you could get an official co-sign was the co-signer actually believed in your ability. These days, it takes nothing at all. And that saddens me because unfortunately the average person still holds value in a co-sign depending on who the respected co-signer is. As a person actually trying to break an artist in this day and age without a co-sign it pisses me off the feedback that I receive from people. Not their opinions per say but just all they expect from a new artist i.e. a co-sign. None of these people are factoring in that these co-signs may or may not be legit. And I know if I got one co-sign none of this would even matter. And honestly, that sucks. What happened to people liking something because that's what THEY liked? Why does it take someone else to say it's hot to be deemed hot? Mind you, I've already broke one act and could get a co-sign but for what? A co-sign doesn't mean what it once meant. I'm not a fan of mafia movies but I will say this, most mobsters had rules to their game. It wasn't some lawless game that everybody was able to play. Today, there are no rules period! Can you imagine a society without some form of governing i.e. rules? I surely cannot. I understand that the world must change, it's inevitable. But some old principles can still apply in modern society. I feel like rules is one of these things. There are certain rules that should not be broken. Co-signs should be one of these rules. Unless you really believe in what you're co-signing, don't do it. It not only confuses people but it blurs the rules. Where do I even began with this whole notion of the co-sign?

"real spit!" Marcus.. nice post yea big bro..

I like to keep a close nit group. And even though I have been meeting a lot of new people in 09' I don't like everybody to be "in". only co-sign if you are truly willing to put your head on the chopping block for that person, because I will hold you responsible. lol(but not really) I feel ya Marcus Troy.

We must not compromise on certain issues when it comes to the concept of co-signing; and these issues varies depending on individual.
