Lazy rappers use other people's beats

There is never a good excuse to put out a product as an independent artist with somone else's beats... no matter how much you like them.

the main problem with this is that the whole time the song will be playing, your listeners will be hearing the words of another song... and you will be helping the other musician be more memorable and half the time I hear an amateur remake...  i just wanna hear the original song.

don't sell yourself short.  if you're not a well known musician with a ton of music ascribed to your own beats and unique sound... you should never try to rock out on someone else's beat.

there are many places online (such as this website) where you can get beats for damn near free...  just spend some time and find your own sound..  you'll be rewarded.
