Re: who is Lil Louis?
Short edit.
Music = evidently good
Ethics = apparently questionable going off that story.
Would be great to hear the other side of the story....maybe even more emails?
End of the day I didn't lose any money.
Lost respect for scene? Man, I didn't think of it that way, I know who he is.
Disillusioned with the "scene"? Likely.
Passionate for the music still? Yes.
Tired of rhetorical questions in this post? Slightly.
How much of it would you guys give back?Comment
