not unlike the way a dealer will always tell his burnouts that they're the coolest, and that they're getting the best stuff for the best price, just for you. it's BS, he's looking out for #1, same as a label. just like you can't go to the cops once you realize you're being ripped off, you can't really fault the label for signing a contract that doesn't cater to your every whim.
