Its a waste of money to spend cash on the looks of the studio, because as I said before that doesnt generate you the money, the talent of the producer, MC, and the equipment is what generates it. I agree the place doesnt look too nice, but then again I dont think it matters too much to the artists, and it doesnt hurt to debut on Jay-Z's Black Album either, as far as artists wanting to work with you.

Whoa there sailor. you're throwing around the term 'artist' pretty freely there. Jay-z is not a fucking artist. he takes OTHER people's music and redoues it. Where's the fucking art in tyhat? Why not check REAL heads like Mos Def, Common, De la, or Radiohead or hell even the Tragically Hip. Those fuckers are a dime a dozen. I know 30 of them on TO alone, stick to the real hip hop or jump on the bling banwagon. Crypic souls was a decent group of dudes, too bad they turned into fuckers.....
For the record - GREED IS NOT A VIRTUE
just cause they can make tons of $$4 it doesn't make them smart, or good, or artists in any capacity. Fuck, Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis - Jaz-z has to sample these guys just to sound fresh. oh, and I was in Trinidad when Jay-z filemd his vidoe for Big Pimping, he edited out everyone who wasn't white and was afraid of the crowd. cause he's a pussy.
