how about before bitching on the internet you read the TOS on the website and see if they actually say they'll get in touch (i tried to look now but it won't load properly on this ancient IE at work), or get in touch with someone on the website to resolve the issue

people's first response to anything like this always seems to be to complain on a forum before doing any of the other steps you'd do in the real world. got short changed in asda? - quick to the internets! :6:

and rob... SMH :P

jesus, I find the fact that people actually fell for this scam more depressing than the fact that it exists.

Does Benga even have his own label? If he doesn't how would he go about getting it signed in the first place, his contacts and connections?

If I produced I'd still send it to Distance who not only listens for free, but gives it air time on his show which has a track record of success for new talent (Science and Lurka comes to mind); has his own label(s) and is now signed to a major which may prove useful as your stuff could be theoretically highlighted to the headhunters and the higher-ups there, should he deem it good enough. If anyone in the community should be charging it should be him, or maybe the GD crew since they let you play out and show-case your stuff on there show and could potentially sign your track if they like what they here.

And on a more subjective side of things I'd rather hear criticism (good or bad) from D, then Benga. But that's just me...

OP went about it all wrong, i gave Benga a 20 spot for one track and he said it should be pressed by august... all about negotiations

This thread deserves a baltimore clap.
but srsly..
Sounds like another snatch to me.. oh yes yes.. he's a man on a mission tryna smack your bitch up with glowsticks, all the while she runs around with no bra and no panties.
It's all just an acid lie so he can get his hands on that mini motor cross bike and take a drive to spooksville to play some bingo and get crunked up with the addicts from the biscuit factory.
