Stolen Beats for Sale
There is this guy that used to live with Nice Rec and Dan Dabber. He is Dabber's friend from high school. Dude seemed pretty cool (or so we thought). Shit happens and this guy moves back to Texas, he takes a beat cd of Nice Rec beats with him. This is entirely normal because Nice Rec gives his beats out to everyone.
Except this guy, decides to make himself a Myspace page and sell these Nice Rec beats without his permission. He makes a blog post about a beat that Peter has made called "Let the Sun Shine," about how it's some of his best work yet, yet he didn't make the beat. After a lot of complaining, this guy takes the beats off of his Myspace site, but does not take them off the market for sale. He has the audacity to call us "liars" and "haters." His friend calls Dabber a little bitch. The whole situation is pretty ridiculous.
One of his friends in Texas has already rhymed over one of the said beats. In addition, some of the beats the guy has for sale have already been rhymed over and ready to be released on an album.
These are the two thoughts I have on this situation:
1.) This guy is devoid of any kind of moral values. This ranks in the top three dick moves I have ever seen personally in my life.
2.) It's not like Peter won't make any more heat, there are newer beats that this guy won't get to go anywhere near, but we're literally talking about years of work that this guy is capitalizing on. The guy couldn't have done it to a nicer person. Furthermore, Dabs and Pete considered this guy a good friend up until this happened and that is fucking sad.
