Would you Listen....Why?

If you went to your local Hip-Hop Club and saw a hot M.C. perform would you listen? If he did'nt have some body backing him like a Jay-Z or a Kanye West or DJ Khaled would buy his C.D. if he offered you a copy? Does it matter if you have a big named artist behind you pushing your music or are the people curious enough to give something new yet hot a chance? What does it say about the people and the industry.
