Find you a CL Smooth, somebody with some hunger. Someone who spits in the same vein that you create in and do for him as he (or she) does for you... In other words throw some vocals on the track. Highlight that thang...

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i should put that as a quote in my sig.
but yeh, i look at it like this....
Don't try to sell your beats to kids, cause most kids are morons.
Look at it this way.. who's the only artist to go platinum in 2006?....
Jay-z... What was jay-z's lead single?.. Show me what you got!.. a sampled track from Shaft in Africa. now if YOU woulda made that beat.. kids woulda probably said, aw thats too old school.. but because jay-z did it.. its fresh.
Another example is the Kick push song by lupe fiasco..
People only THINK dem franchise boyz and MIMS are selling because they get so much radio play.. but what people don't know is they're going broke, because they pay so much for promotion, and radio play.. and dont sell any records...Which is why their careers are always short-lived.
REAL SKILL PREVAILS IN THE LONG RUN... just look at nas and jay-z
Don't be fooled by radio play and expensive looking videos. Skill still counts
