I posted this blog on my myspace page and feel like I should share it here with my fam. It explains the purpose behind the services I'm offering and where my heart is at with this. Here it is below....
I know a lot of people in this industry may be wondering first off why I'm offering my beats so cheap on my site http://www.stretchmanebeats.com. I will explain this and it's simple. First I'm competing with a market full of producers who offering beats for lower and higher prices than I am. 2nd I do not set these prices for those with million dollar budgets or even hundred thousand dollar budgets. These beats are for those living an average persons life and wish to pursue their dreams within there budget. I have and am constantly creating new beats that will range in prices but I'm not above looking out for those who I must admit I was in the same shoes as. But even in buying High Quality beats for $5.00 and up or even $1.00. This to will become expensive and if your married or have steady commitment with someone, live with your parents or have someone or anybody your responsible for or has financial responsibility for and does not fully se your vision or fully believe in your dreams and goals to become a successful artist or maybe they do. Yet and still buying beats can become a very Expensive investment that you will and probably do get complained to about even griped at or put down because of how much money your spending at a time or a month. I personally know more than 2 handfuls of great and talented artist who go through this right now at this very moment. This is the reason I came up with the Unlimited Beats solution. I originally had it priced at $4.95 before the brand new launch of http://www.stretchmanebeats.com But went against what my heart was saying and listened to several individuals who I came to realize did not care about the lives of those who will and may need to use this service. With that said I was advised to raise it to $9.95 which is still a fair price due to what is given in the package. Nonetheless I couldn't sleep at night when the site launched and I constantly seen this price and I knew why. The purpose of this service was not about money but a solution in which I felt $5.00 will let all those who needs beats even 5 and 6 year olds to be apart of this and parents can help nurture a future rap star's talent without worrying about taking food out his or her mouth.
I give my best when it comes to FREE BEATS I go out my way to make sure they are the Hottest FREE Beats on the net. If someone has found a FREE Beat hotter than mines..."first of all good job to that producer" but that means I got to get back in the lab and step my game up. Every beat I make that I make public or for sale is a reflection of me so therefore I do not degrade or price beats based on how hot it is. Because If I'm revealing my beats to the public in anyway I've already said to myself it's hot and was my best for that creation. It's up to the public to then agree with my decision. So it doesn't matter If sell a beat for $1, $5, $25, $100, $500, or even the producers dream of over $100,000 per beat. If let someone hear it or buy it then I done my best to make that beat the hottest beat coming out of my lab or out there period. I'm constantly working on my craft and expanding my skills because there is always a next level to get to. So I aim to constantly get better because this is what I do.
I'm not looking to be the next Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Swizz Beats, Kanye West, etc.
But I am going to be the first STRETCHMANE and I want everybody who is down with me and what I'm doing to be apart of that ya hear me.
P.S. If you're reading this and you haven't got you're 2 FREE Beats go to http://www.stretchmanebeats.com and get those fam.Hit me up with any questions fam!
