Omar Cruz & The Game Spit "Gangsta Music" - January 24, 2008 By : Eddie
We've always got the latest on Omar Cruz and the B.Y.I. camp for you first at Dubcnn, so today we're very excited to drop a brand new song from Omar's major label debut "Sign Of The Cruz"! Omar has teamed up with none other than The Game for what will undoubtedly be a future West Coast anthem. Featuring the production of Cool & Dre, "Gangsta Music" will give you that classic West Coast feel as soon as the beat drops. There's nothing left to say. Download it below!
Omar Cruz - Gangsta Music (ft. The Game) [Produced by Cool & Dre]
Make sure to add Omar Cruz as your friend on Myspace. Request the song at your local radio stations as soon as you can. The only way you're going to get to hear tight music like this on the radio is if you let your voice be heard. Every request counts.
To request the new song on Power 106, text "Omar Cruz - Gangsta Music" to 69106. To get it played on KDAY, send your requests in here.
This banger should send a message to everyone that Omar's album is going to be a serious problem when it drops! Stay tuned to Dubcnn for all of the latest info.
Hell yeah!

shit is nice man ''If game is the Face of LA, than i'm the Voice of La.''
Cool N Dre are pure garbage but this beat is crazy, propz to DubCnn
-
That shit is a banger. Fuck all the haters. Omar & Game when they make songs together they always bang. West stand the fuck up & support!!!
-
Thanks for the hook-up. Not really feeling this though - the whole concept is just too obvious and average. "Gangsta Music"? C'mon...
-
I like the laid back flow to it. I will be bumping it around San Diego definetly
-
Thanks for the quick hook-up!
Me being the fan that I am, I have to admit that I've got mixed feelings about this song. After a first listen, the song sounds pretty good: the beat is knocking (thumping bass, nice background effects, etc...) and decent lyrics by Omar. But I don't really know about the chorus. I like it, but I'm not too sure whether this is the type of thing that will appeal to other audiences.
Let's face it: with Omar being on Interscope/Geffen, they're aiming at having good record sales. But I just don't see this song blowing up. I don't think it has enough "catchiness" to it (jeez, I sound like some CEO, lol). It doesn't really make an impact on the listener (at least not after a first spin), whereas Omar & Game's song "Powerhouse" did have that massive impact on me. The beat, the chorus, the overall vibe of the song: that shit was hot.
Just to make it clear: the song is good, it definitely sounds like album material and I'm sure it'll grow on me even more, but for now I don't think it's a wise choice to use this as a first single. Just my opinion...
P.S.: I might add that me personally don't really care about record sales. All I'm really interested in is having a solid album to listen to. But, we all know this: when you're on a major label, there has to be SOME commercial potential in it.
-
I've spun it like 6-7 times now, and i think it's a great choice as a single. BYI's stuck in a sticky situation where they need to keep it West Coast to please their fan base, but they need to appeal to the mainstream as well since they're on a major. This is a good start in my opinion. Notice how I said "what may quite possibly be the first single"? This isn't officially the first single just yet. Regardless, it's a tight ass track!

exactly ... this isnt a type of major label 1st single AT ALL ... I dont care about sales or you must have club banger too.. but at the end of the day when it comes to Omar, the responses to his 1st single will influence in a BIG WAY Geffen decision to release the lp or not ..
-
Good shit Eddie, I like it.
-
i've edited my post on dubcnn so you guys don't read too far into it, this hasn't officially been announced as the first single, it is definitely going to be getting radio play and it is from the album though. my bad for any confusion.
-
It's cool, Eddie. You didn't exactly cause any confusion. I had read your initial post correctly (possibly the first single), so I was just saying: IF they do release this as a first single, I don't think it'll do well sales/buzz-wise. But it was a good idea of editing your post on DUBCNN though. I think lots of people would have jumped on a bandwagon where they were like "THIS IS OMAR'S FIRST SINGLE!". ;)
I've spun it like 6-7 times now, and i think it's a great choice as a single. BYI's stuck in a sticky situation where they need to keep it West Coast to please their fan base, but they need to appeal to the mainstream as well since they're on a major.

Well...this'll sound funny, but I think I'll have to adjust my opinion about this song already 8) I've bumped it 4 times so far, the last time with the volume of my speakers turned all the way up, and I must say that I'm already digging it more than during the first spin.
Cool & Dre really came correct with this one. Especially that part where Game goes "make the speakers go boom". At that particular part the beat/bass just slams haaard. This'll sound banging on a decent audio set-up for sure.
-
Other than the beat which is really dope ( I bet Game picked it), everything else is average. Don't know what the big deal about Omar Cruz is, he doesn't seem anything outstanding but I've only heard a song or two from him. Game still needs to step his hook game up, hook sounds forced.
-

How can you say you don't know what the big deal about Omar Cruz is, when you have only heard two of his songs? Seriously.
Don't get me wrong, just because I am a fan doesn't mean that I expect everyone to dig his music. It's obvious that won't be the case. Music is personal. I'm just saying...at least take the time out to properly judge him, based on his mixtapes. Download "The Cruzifixion" (check Dubcnn's main page, it's there for free), give it a few spins, and then you'll have some more background to give feedback.
You're right about Game's hook though. It's decent, but he can do better than that.
Oh, and that thing about "I bet Game picked the beat". You're wrong about that, bro. I know for a fact that Omar, Rome & LuLu have personally chosen each beat on the album because they want each beat to match their "Latin Soul" sound. Just so you know.
-
I've heard only 3 songs from himbut most of the time you don't have to hear a lot of songs, to like or dislike someone. For me personally, I'm just not feeling the flow or the voice, however, I'll definetly check some mixtapes from him. And if Omar picekd the beat, more power to him then, Cool N Dre can drop super wack or super dope beats, it all depends on the selection.
-
yeah you are wrong about Game picking it, good call on that one Crafty! You should check out the street albums Detox, its definitely a different sound, but i bet you'll feel it after a little time!
-
Thanks Eddie, this songs pretty bangin, i got a huge sub for my computer speakers and it pounds, only problem i have with this song though is the hook, Game does sound forced, he can do better for sure, all in all its a banger, another OC song i like, that makes 2 so far lol, but im about to peep some of his mixtapes now!!!
-
This is a crazy song, Eddie. Pocos Pero Locos fans are gonna JUMP for this one.
And, to please the Game fans, I am going to upload a classic track he did with another Latin cat a couple years back - reggaeton rap artist Tego Calderon on the mixtape-only release "Love Them Hoes."
The lyrics to "Gangsta Music" is now part of my OHHLA submission list. Expect the scriptures to be published in a week or two (now that Flash has my full trust).
And as for the Game track, I'll pass it along to Eddie and make it a throwback (expect a PM later today).
-
Good shit Eddie, I like it.
-
omg, and they call it DOpe beat? Fuking shit, West Coast niggaz have been flopping for over decade coz they have no taste in beats...
U expect young kids to buy this boring shit and play this shit with their girlfriends in the cars? People will fall asleep to this garbage, omg...
Omar is Pure fuking garbage, i dunno how he got signed, he needs to quit rap., no wonder Geffen be firing people, this shit will not even Debut on TOp 200 soundscan om major...
Whos idea was it to put Game on the hook? I am the biggest Game fan but this shit wont be on my ipod, My Gym, My CD player, MY car, this is fuking wack...
Dubcnn and BYI faggot ass clowns only be hypinmg shit, I remember some of them hoes said "THIS IS GONNA BE THE WEST COAST ANTHEM OF 2008" , lol, this shit wont even hit Radios...
-
LOL at U niggaz saying Game picked the beat, Beat is boring as fuck, shit is wack as fuck...
I though they was gonna bring energy to the track, with beats like I am So Hood or some shit, this is SLeep Therapy wack ass shit...
Omar and his whole Useless BYI Camp with no brains has no idea how Big the Flop is waithing for him...
If U wanna sell, u need to work hard, this shit is fuking wack!

damn, what you so mad about? its just a song homie, relax
-
songs cool, but i think its becoming kinda clear that omar just might end up being one of those dudes who has better mixtapes than albums.....everything i've heard that is supposed to be from his album thus far has been underwhelming for me.......
-
can someone rip this song
-
LOL at U niggaz saying Game picked the beat, Beat is boring as fuck, shit is wack as fuck...

You a game groupie. If game jumped on this I guess he thought the shit was bangin. Why does a west coast rapper have to get on a high energy track. That's not our type of music. The west coast is known for laid back gangsta shit. Bet you from the uk or something.
-
i think its dope overall. the chorus is coo, could have been better
The verses are coo too, some parts are real dope and some are alright.
-
TRACK IS NICE... I LIKE IT.... I JUST WISH INTERSCOPE WAS QUICKER WITH THEIR ARTIST...

I am from LA...
Listen to Gangsta Rap made me do it, WEst Side Story, Clyde Carson-You see it, Doing that, Game feat Sky balla-California Soul...
Those are high energy tracks that people bang in cars,m Gyms, and shit....
u are the reason west Coast niggaz been flopping hard, coz they are concentrating on how real they are and try to be as less Commercial as possible becoz bitch ass hoes on the west coast are allwyas gonna hate...
And not just west coast, I remeber when 50 came out, Broke ass hoe ass like Yukmouth, C bo, mesy marv, C j mac all them starting taking shots at nigga for no reason..
Every west Coast nigga is scared to pop on the MTV coz Bitchz like RAss Kass are so mad and jelaus that they are waiting every sec for a Nigga Fro mthe WEst To pop and They will start taking shots straight away...
West Coast is the most talented and least Organised Coast, everybody hating, everybody scared to make moves, They need to learn from the south,Just Do music that people Feel, not the music that will consider them REAL and NOT MAINSTREAM!

-
i don't think bwstakeover problem is with the song....it's starting to look real clear that you'r problem is with a hispanic rapper getting shine ...you say you don't like the song but then you go calling B.Y.I ent fag's ;D come on, you a hater, you just can't stand the fact that a hispanic rapper is getting a lil shine.
That's really what's going to be omar cruz's biggest problem, people not wanting to listen to his music because he's hispanic, i remember when he was going by the name blunt's LLA somebody posted up track's from him and everybody was saying how tight he was but as soon as someone said he was hispanic you saw people's opinion slowly changing and cat's started saying he's wack
everybody has a story to tell he's speaking from his point of view
and this is coming a black man

yeah, i was kinda thinkin' the same thing, the anger and hate in his post is damn near personal and totally unnecessary or called for.....i mean, why would someone care about a brand new artist flopping so much? calling him and his label fags, for no reason? i dont understand how fools can hate an artist so much just for trying to do his thing....and by hate i dont just mean 'hating' i mean actually dislike them personally, as if they know them on that level.....its actually pretty pathetic.........if omar flops or sells what difference does it make in anyones life? i wont lose sleep either way....i aint a big fan of dude by anymeans, but he reps my city well, and i aint mad at him for that......i would never knock any rappers hustle as long as they from the heart with their music and arent doing sum real blatent crossover shit.....just my two cents, dude is intitled to his opinion of course too, no matter how bitter it is.......

Hate is a muthafucker. All it's doing is makeing Omar much bigger. Hateing on a person you dont know & calling B.Y.I fag's is really showing you need a life & some friends. One word for that hater "it

God Damn homie, its not like that at Fuking ALLLLLLL, first of all, I am puerto rican, black-russian myself, second of all, One of my favourite bands are Cypress Hill, dude, i remember my brother bought a bottleg tape of Throw ya set in the air single, just 1 song, and that was our shit for like 3 years! of course we had other shits...
Anyway. my first problem is The media Ass hoe that said "The Track feat Game will probably be the WEst Coast anthem of 2008 and gonna take over the charts, first of all, GAME IS ONLY ON THE FUKING HOOK,Second of all, i know a lil something about Making Beats and i know quite alot, and this is the most Wrongest Fuking beat for The Charts dude,song is fine, it reminds me of Lay Low a lil bit, but shit is just too chronic Smoked out, Everybody knows that every single rapper in the game is about Charts, singles,sales and money, and these dudes are taking wrong ideas....
This was a bad single choice,I wanted Omar Cruz to sell, i wanted him to drop some dope ass shit, THere are people here and there saying that the track is nothing special, but me, myself, i am over analyzing it with some Anger,its just so below my expectations, dude,
I thought Omar Cruz was gonna bring the real heat, like Good Work to the material on the album, but this is far from anything Dope, u cant Come out saying U will Take shit over with shit like this, this aint nothing special to be acting with a Pride,
I called BYI ent fags coz i didnt even know what it was, and most ENT companyies are fags, they have no taste in music, they either release shit too Cheesy and POP or way to wack, like Twista feat Pharell - GIve it up, now Twista Could have released We aint no hoes as a street single, Amazing song feat Bone thugs, but instead they put out wack ass POP song, that was so horrible that dude flopped harder than Lil FLip and Paul wall...
-

Well, then I guess you'll have to revise your opinion, because nobody has stated explicitly that this will be his first single. It's most likely a track they've released in order to create a buzz for his album: a feature by Game & production by Cool & Dre...that will undoubtedly interest some people.
-
i think they wanna see people reactions to the song first before they call it the "official" 1st single.
But for reals, they might push the album back if this song doesnt do anything. Then there gonna have to look for another single and its gonna take a while.
The song is coo to me. I like the verses, Hook is nice (could be better though), the beat is real dope. Overall i give it a solid 4/5.
Im looking forward to the album. As a single it probably wont do good, so hopefully they pick another song. But its a real nice track.
-
This song is pretty good. Im glad to see Cruz's album should be coming soon. Props.
-
8) song

They got this song on allhiphop, so that wil put his name out there a little more.....

First, most promosing and most intellingent post....Its just missing the energy,its missing the feel for people to wanna go and buy the shit, and it doesnt have to be cheesy..
When i first heard jay Rock on other tracks and than Lift me up, i thought it was the first single and i wanted to cop the album straight away without 2,3 or whatever singles...It had the energy, dope beat, flow, it was a banger, but i guess My homie JAy Wanna hold up, thats cool...This song is just not Digging this shit,
Same with Juice-Rolling feat Game, we thought it was gonna be his first single and i played that shit at my party, and everybody was like Damn, this shit is banging,
Thats the the single material there, it gets people interested and out of 500 forum responses 499 will be positive, but with Omar Cruz, out of 50 reponses, 25 of them being not-So-impressed is a wake up call that material is not that catchy..And by Catchy i mean Good, not 50 cents cheesy shit, no.
IF its a street shit or some buzz track, its ok, but U really need to push the quality of the west coast there with some creativity, becoz west coast has been known for dope rhymes but same talk over and over with repetative washed up ghuttta shit...

I hear you and I think I understand your point-of-view. We just got a different kind of taste in music then. It's all good. Music is personal at the end of the day.
However, I do want to set straight that out of all these new up-and-coming artists on the West Coast, Omar is definitely one of the few who does try to come with something creative in today's rap music. I don't mean lyrics-wise, but sound-wise. Just listen once to "The Cruzifixion" mixtape: literally nobody out West has ever come out with such a sound. It's new, fresh and still sounds West Coast. That's not just me speaking from a fan point-of-view. It's simple fact. It's a brand new sound Rome has created.

Not everybody is going to like every west coast artist.Omar defently has a great buzz. If you don't belive me log onto any hip hop site & you will see cruz on there. A lot of people outside the west coast are showing him love. I don't think this is his sinle. It's a good buzz record. He defently needs a club record that everybody love's so that he can a worldwide buzz but this record is defently a good look for Cruz
-
This is gonna be a weird prediction, but I bet you that one of the singles off his debut album will be his collaboration with Los Lonely Boys. I'm not saying it's gonna be the first (since labels are now fiending for top position by releasing a club/radio hit), but most likely one of the candidates that will surely give Omar Cruz the buzz he definitely needs, especially for his album should his first single choice does better than expected.
-
They got this song on allhiphop, so that wil put his name out there a little more.....
What other west coast artist is on all these hip hop sites? Nobody. O.Cruz defently got that buzz going.
-
I heard the radio is playing this song that's dope. Especially since it's not a radio record. Props

ive seen crooked i jay rock and bishop lamont on those hip hop sites

Not shitting on no west coast artist but crooked i has been around for a long time & Omar's buzz is as big as his & even bigger. Crooked I feel off. Jay Rock buzz is no where near cruz buzz. Go on any hip hop site right now you dont see jay rock. The only place you see him is on xxlmag.com. Cruz is on allhiphop.hiphopgame,xxlmag,nahright,sohh just a few then go to the latin hip hop site's & of course cruz on those. Jay rock is defently hot but his buzz is not as strong as cruz. I support all the new west cats. Cruz defently on the top of my favorite artist list.

I've just checked the feedback on websites like xxlmag.com, allhiphop.com, sohh.com, etc... and there's a mixture of opinions:
1) people who like the song in general (beat, lyrics, hook)
2) people who like the song but not the hook
3) people who don't like Omar
4) people who don't like the beat by Cool & Dre
But overall, it's not really constructive critcism. It's mostly reactions like "Omar sounds like he got something stuck in his throat".
But I do understand that not everyone will dig Omar's voice. It is indeed 'unique' (to put it that way), but a true West Coast fan wouldn't exactly hate on an up-and-coming New West artist just because of his voice. You don't necessarily have to like him, but just show some support...that would be welcome.
From on another perspective: Omar DOES seem to get a lot of expsosure. I mean, his song is mentioned in those websites' playlists along with other 'big' names and less big names like: Rick Ross, 50 Cent, Cassidy, Remy Ma, The Clipse, Maino, etc...
That can only be a good thing I think.

But if the voice on the rapper is not appealing ,then that would act as a hindrance in appreciating the work of the said artist.C'mon even you can't deny this!
Rapper these days have to be a complete package so that they can be marketable properly.
His flows,his delivery,lyrics and voice have to be above average [to be fair] for him to be given a chance!
I recall some folks on Dubcc, have said that they just can't get into O.Cruz's music cuz of his Gruff Voice.
Once there is a hinderance like that,it's hard for most pple to actually see past that and appreciate the artist for their talent et al.

I have never denied that. In fact, I've said it myself:

See?
That's where i think you have things confused, it may not be hate
It may just be literally not feeling Dude [no homo] just cuz of his voice..
I don't see that as hate...
At the end of the day some folks will dig his music,while others won't..
-
Yeah I agree with you. I guess I should've made myself clearer then.
Like you said, if someone isn't feeling Omar simply because of his voice then I won't consider that as hate. The voice of a rapper is indeed an important factor in appreciating him. Voice, lyrics, delivery, etc...it's all (equally) important.
My bad for the confusion.

GOOD SINGLE IF IT IS THAT

Omar Cruz......where do we begin....He's the first latin artist signed to Interscope.....we know how powerfull that label is with making stars....kudos for getting your foot in the door....HOWEVER....we also know how many artists have been dropped from that label or get shelved.....so good luck, lol. Latin artists aren't that popular overall. They have a VERY confined fan base....except for latin artists like Fat Joe, Big Pun R.I.P. and other like that....Cypress Hill had they're stardom as well....and still have some potential but the success rate is extremely slim. I heard "Gangsta Music".....I was not impressed. Omar's camp is hyping him up to the 3rd degree and being on Interscope he is definitely going to have to come a lot harder than that. Game should've had a verse on it. Sorry to say, but Omar isn't really talking about too much in this raps nor do they sound that hard. Yes, we know your from the city that did this and that, L.A. yes we know....it's so repetative and washed up. Yes, L.A. is hard we know, but are YOU???? It's questionable...Secondly, with a title like "Gangsta Music", why are we using non-gangsta production? If you want "Gangsta Music" lets talk to DJ Quik, Battlecat, Bud'da....perhaps Dr. Dre, your labelmate??? Ok so you don't have the money yet to afford a Dre beat, what about the others? Cool and Dre aren't cheap either, lol. Thirdly, whats with the mediocrity of the subject matter? Put some words together and make it sound gangster. I dont know man, I think that song was poorly handled....Hang With My Doggs was catchier and basically about the same thing....L.A. You know what else??? He's from Culver City....a lot different from "L.A." yes, it's in L.A. county, but it's a city within itself. I live in L.A. My address says Los Angeles, C.A. Not Santa Monica, or Venice or Culver City or any of that. When is someone gonna represent for the Rampart District/Downtown or South Central? I guess we already have W.C. & Ice Cube LOL.....
-
THE HOMIES IN LOS ANGELES TO BUSY GANGBANGING LOL THERE A FEW HOMIES TRYING TO DO IT BUT THEY HAVE NO HUSTLE SO THEREFORE U NEVER HEAR OF THEM,,,
-
I guess people want to hear Omar on some club shit. Keep that real west coast shit going cruz. West los all day.
-
This ain't to bad. I'm not feelin the beat when the hook comes in. And Game's hook ain't to great either. Its playable in the car.
-
this shit is growing on me more and more, so is the game hook...it's not as bad as people making out to be, but you know once game is on a track people start picking the track apart trying to find any lil thing to comment about, remember when one blood came out everybody on here was hating on the track picking it apart, as the time past and it started getting radio play and a video came out people here was saying they feel it....anything game's on get's that kind of feedback

Dude, Internet Fanbase is a totattly different thing to Mainstream or Radio fanbase, when Everybody outside Nerd World Heard One Blood, it was a smash, the only people who started bitching about it is BWS Forum Internet Nerds, those nerds are sitting at home and breaking down Metaphors into Lines and think of Subliminal Mr Ouija Messages in them and 7 day theories....
To people who talking Internet buzz and Omar Cruz being on the boards, are u guys really that stupid to realise that Internet Forums and shit make up at MOST 30-60 000 fans, If Lucky? Do u honestly think that if a nigga got a huge Internet buzz he will Sell?
I say, 99.999999999999999999999% of Sales are Radio and TV Promotion and buzz, the rest is Internet, and 80% of that Internet Fanbase are Bootlegers and I pod Users,
Omar Cruz has no fanbase, he will do Twista Numbers or YOung Joc, if Lucky, 100 000 maximum,I wish him the best, i will probably get 2 copies, but thats not gonna Motivate the People outside this NErd World to hear his shit and Buy his shit....
Look at the Flops these year, last year, Wyclef Jean has the best Rap song in years, Sweetest Girl and he flopped, Bone thugs I tried Was Platinum and it only helped them Go 500 000 and that was a big ass Song...With SHit like Gangsta Music....No way...
People here are so blind, stupid and blind again....I am not hating on Omar..WOuld I be hating if I said that Swizz Beats wil;l Flop hard with Its me Bitchz, Shit was Wack, would i be hating if i Said thatTwista Would Flop?
Some people just need to open their eyes and see whats in the industry, and dont say industry is cheesy and its not selling becoz hip hop is dead, Gangsta Music aint nohting but an avarage track, its Absolutely nohting, its not catchy, its not appealing, its fuking boring and Totally HOLLOW, it has no potention to be on the charts at all....
In Years, One Blood was the only Gangsta Track that has Blown up, due to being so fuking hot and Catchy...I dont remember any Gangsta Singles that really Blown up...
Sad But True..Omar has no future, to those talkign Mad Internet buzz, are u seious? U be lucky if Dubcnn and hhboard will get at least 4 000 people to buy Omar Cruz, and other boards? 30 people? OPen ur fuking eyes!

sum good points, tho' i think i felt the song a little more than you......but i agree with alot of this.....i was feelin omar much more when he was still blunts, based off city of gods and blow.....cruzafixion was dope too.......but everything there after has been hit or miss for me.........and i really do hope dude does well, i respect his hustle and how he reps......but music wise, i like the early mixtapes much more
-
I got to say that I didnt understand what was so special about Omar Cruz after the Hang With My Dogs song and the mixtape, but I just happend to download the last Blunts Lla mixtape a cople of days ago and that definately made me change my mind, now Im looking forward to some new material and Im about to check out this song...

LOL u act like BTNH goin 500 000 is bad? I think ure expectin a lil too much homie on some real shit. I get what youre tryna say but u goin a lil bit over the top expectin these niggas to come out right on the spot and do platinum. Like 50 cent said, dude was on Columbia and here and there and didnt even do numbers until he signed to Interscop and look what happened? Im just sayin u make it seem like if they dont sell platinum right away on their debut, they not gonna make it.

U fuking stupid, its not about selling, its about Selling with What Material, Bone thugs sold 500 000 with I tried, Huge Platinum single, with over 1 million downloads, 50 cent sold 1.2 mils in USA with 6 singles, 2 of them being Huge as Fuck with Justin, meaning that Omar Cruz is on the pace to sell 20 000, homie, u stupid, DOnt u see its all about the single Material?
I bet 10k Young Joc, Twista, Chamilionere will Find it hard to Open a new album budget for the next projects, See, what people dont understand is that Once An Artist Sells GOod, he becomes Valuable, and Record Label treats them nicely, and Their Next Projects are usually With BNigger album budget coz Record Label has faith in them, but when Artist sells 100 000 with 3-4 million promotion and Album budget loosing 2-3 mils on the album, their next album gets Poor promotion, chep videos, Wack ass Album Budget, if they are lucky to not Get Dropped..
Tell me, are we gonna see next Clipse album?Consequence?

Shut the fuck up i was just sayin that u act like 500 000 is bad..what Soulja Boy is at 700 000 wit a waaay bigger single than I Tried. The single helps push numbers by a few 1000s or whatev, but the sales doesnt raise to the rough just because of a big single. The only reason 50 sold that much is because of his "battle" wit Kanye. He had 6 singles n u talkin bout "huge single" with Justin Timberlake, that wasnt huge single at all. He couldnt even create buzz wit 5 singles, but I Get Money + The Battle Wit Kanye made them both sell alot more. Cuz u know how 50 fans r, they want 50 to win and get more money so they bought more albums and Kanye sold that much because all the 50 haters bought alot of copies.

Good shit Eddie, I like it.

Keep the feedback coming, whether it's positive or negative, it's all good. 8)

Anybody who thinks that Cruz can't rap. Just listen to "Blow".

But for somebody Who has been in the Game for 14 yeras and Sold 35 million records and shitll pushing Gold status with Platinum Singles, they have more chance to come up with another Big SIngles and Another album....
Ayo and I get money was huge, i meanm it was big, it played everywhere, see, ur faggot ass is from UK, so u dont know, but in US, shit was playing everwhere and 50 still flopped.
Where is this going?Fuck u, what u want from me?

By the way: this thread is about to hit 1000 views. Let's say that 600 of them are from people who posted frequently in this thread, then that's still 400 people give or take that took some time out to check for Omar. I can live with that 8)
Keep the feedback coming, whether it's positive or negative, it's all good. 8)

Dude, Internet Fanbase is a totattly different thing to Mainstream or Radio fanbase, when Everybody outside Nerd World Heard One Blood, it was a smash, the only people who started bitching about it is BWS Forum Internet Nerds, those nerds are sitting at home and breaking down Metaphors into Lines and think of Subliminal Mr Ouija Messages in them and 7 day theories....
To people who talking Internet buzz and Omar Cruz being on the boards, are u guys really that stupid to realise that Internet Forums and shit make up at MOST 30-60 000 fans, If Lucky? Do u honestly think that if a nigga got a huge Internet buzz he will Sell?
I say, 99.999999999999999999999% of Sales are Radio and TV Promotion and buzz, the rest is Internet, and 80% of that Internet Fanbase are Bootlegers and I pod Users,
Omar Cruz has no fanbase, he will do Twista Numbers or YOung Joc, if Lucky, 100 000 maximum,I wish him the best, i will probably get 2 copies, but thats not gonna Motivate the People outside this NErd World to hear his shit and Buy his shit....
Look at the Flops these year, last year, Wyclef Jean has the best Rap song in years, Sweetest Girl and he flopped, Bone thugs I tried Was Platinum and it only helped them Go 500 000 and that was a big ass Song...With SHit like Gangsta Music....No way...
People here are so blind, stupid and blind again....I am not hating on Omar..WOuld I be hating if I said that Swizz Beats wil;l Flop hard with Its me Bitchz, Shit was Wack, would i be hating if i Said thatTwista Would Flop?
Some people just need to open their eyes and see whats in the industry, and dont say industry is cheesy and its not selling becoz hip hop is dead, Gangsta Music aint nohting but an avarage track, its Absolutely nohting, its not catchy, its not appealing, its fuking boring and Totally HOLLOW, it has no potention to be on the charts at all....
In Years, One Blood was the only Gangsta Track that has Blown up, due to being so fuking hot and Catchy...I dont remember any Gangsta Singles that really Blown up...
Sad But True..Omar has no future, to those talkign Mad Internet buzz, are u seious? U be lucky if Dubcnn and hhboard will get at least 4 000 people to buy Omar Cruz, and other boards? 30 people? OPen ur fuking eyes!
LOL u act like BTNH goin 500 000 is bad? I think ure expectin a lil too much homie on some real shit. I get what youre tryna say but u goin a lil bit over the top expectin these niggas to come out right on the spot and do platinum. Like 50 cent said, dude was on Columbia and here and there and didnt even do numbers until he signed to Interscop and look what happened? Im just sayin u make it seem like if they dont sell platinum right away on their debut, they not gonna make it.
U fuking stupid, its not about selling, its about Selling with What Material, Bone thugs sold 500 000 with I tried, Huge Platinum single, with over 1 million downloads, 50 cent sold 1.2 mils in USA with 6 singles, 2 of them being Huge as Fuck with Justin, meaning that Omar Cruz is on the pace to sell 20 000, homie, u stupid, DOnt u see its all about the single Material?
I bet 10k Young Joc, Twista, Chamilionere will Find it hard to Open a new album budget for the next projects, See, what people dont understand is that Once An Artist Sells GOod, he becomes Valuable, and Record Label treats them nicely, and Their Next Projects are usually With BNigger album budget coz Record Label has faith in them, but when Artist sells 100 000 with 3-4 million promotion and Album budget loosing 2-3 mils on the album, their next album gets Poor promotion, chep videos, Wack ass Album Budget, if they are lucky to not Get Dropped..
Tell me, are we gonna see next Clipse album?Consequence?
Shut the fuck up i was just sayin that u act like 500 000 is bad..what Soulja Boy is at 700 000 wit a waaay bigger single than I Tried. The single helps push numbers by a few 1000s or whatev, but the sales doesnt raise to the rough just because of a big single. The only reason 50 sold that much is because of his "battle" wit Kanye. He had 6 singles n u talkin bout "huge single" with Justin Timberlake, that wasnt huge single at all. He couldnt even create buzz wit 5 singles, but I Get Money + The Battle Wit Kanye made them both sell alot more. Cuz u know how 50 fans r, they want 50 to win and get more money so they bought more albums and Kanye sold that much because all the 50 haters bought alot of copies.
For Solja Boy that is one hit wonder, 700 000 anit nothing, his next Album will not have Crank that and will do shit like Chingy, and all thenm Flops

Where is this going?Fuck u, what u want from me?
U.K. FUCK IS U TALKIN BOUT?
R U DUMB?? I SAID I GET MONEY + THE BATTLE MADE DUDE SELL CAN U READ U SLOW RETARDED ASS MUFUCKA. IM WRITTIN WIT CAPS ON SO YO SLOW ASS CAN READ. AYO TECHNOLOGY WASNT HUGE AT ALL, IT PROLLY GOT MORE SPINS IN EUROPE THOUGH CUZ THEY LOVE THAT NIGGA JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE OVA THERE, AT LEAST THE WHITE PPL IT SEEMS. BOTTOM LINE IS AYO DIDNT CREATE ANY INTEREST/BUZZ, THATS WHY U CANT CONSIDER IT BIG. I GET MONEY ON THE OTHER HAND, A DIFFERENT STORY.
U SAID "FOR A ONE HIT WONDER LIKE SOULJA BOY 700.000 AINT NOTHIN"...LMAO THATS WHAT I FUCKIN SAID ALL THE TIME, HENCE WHY I SAID A BIG SINGLE ONLY PUSH ALBUMS BY A FEW THOUSANDS NOT ALOT.
THIS NIGGA DUMB ASS FUCK, IM SAYIN STUFF AND U REPEATIN THE SAME THING AND THEN CALLIN ME DUMB.
THE ONLY THANG I SAID WAS THAT URE EXPECTIN A LIL 2 MUCH FROM THESE NEW ARTISTS TO GO PLATINUM RIGHT AWAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN HIPHOP IS THE WAY IT IS 2DAY.

That comes with the game homie. All cruz has to do is keep dopping those bangers & reppin west coast all day!!!

the beat is alright, but i aint feelin the track as a whole. its missing that energy.....actually it sounds a little lazy, especially with the lyrics and hook. i've been checkin for cruz's music for a little while already, and i know he could do better than this. if he wants his buzz to expand, he's gonna need a catchy hook on a better beat. i hope he doesnt put this or "hang wit my dogs" on his album.
-
Anybody who thinks that Cruz can't rap. Just listen to "Blow".
better yet just kill yourself...

Yeah, that's more like it.

Im a big Game and Omar fan, but i think the track is nothing special. Regular gangsta shit.
When you compare that to the new jay rock single damn thats poor.
Its def. not a wack track but like i said nothing special.

29 Members and 15 are currently viewing this forum.....Great Buzz, 44 Copies Sold! Another 23 in Hhboard, 13 in Games forums and 5 in other ones, Damn, looks like Omar Cruz got internet on fire!

Go google the song & you will see what I'm talking about. Heard it on radio this week a couple times & it's a street record that just came out. You are a ringtone fan & I don't think cruz will be that type of artist. The streets will always keep artist alive. Ringtone fan!!! LoL
-
Flesh, Bizz, Lay and Kray aint sold 1 ringtone before 2006, and E 99 Ethernal shits all over Omar Cruzes Gangsta Music, so called "Very origninal SOng"....
11 million people have E99 CD in their house, LEts see how many people would find Omar Cruz orgininal enough to spend their $15 on Sign of Cruz...
Streets, lol, Have streets got Beanie sigel? Freeway? Twista? Swiss Beats?YOung Joc? Young Buck? And dont say shit about Sales dont matter, lol, if it didnt, niggaz wouldnt be bitching about ROC or other label holdups.
Streets sales=30-40 000, same cats that buy washed up DPG, WC, Gangsta Gangsta Pull a trigga, nigga killa Rhymes, well, i shouldnt say that about WC coz he is awsome, but other rappers that have no creativity and talk same Washed up shit in their raps..
But even WC, Compare His first single to Gangsta RAp made me do it, if Cube wanted to promote That video, Edit it and put on MTV shit would sell to the kids,Thats the kinda creativity i am talking about, Race Card, Untill WE rich, It was a good day...
U dont have to be a ringtone rapper to sell, u need to be creative, One Blood was creative and Hype record, it sold, Gangsta Music is So avarage, that shit wont go anywhere...
Calling me rintone rapper, i didnt even buy anything since Obie Trice Second round on me and Doctors Advocate and Strenth and Loyality....Not Kangay or 50 cent, since Doctors advocate dropped there hasnt been shit worth to spend money on, Not T.I, Jeezy or any of them candy rappers...

i'll throw it another one, i'm still playing this record! i wanna say this too:
Judging from this topic, the main problem people are having with this record is that it doesn't seem like a big single and they think Omar won't blow up from it. I think everyone should just relax. Take the music for what it is and move on. If you like the record, then listen to it, if you don't, then fuck it. I don't see why people stopped liking the record because they think it's not "single worthy". You don't work for Interscope, so it's not your job to deal with that aspect of things. Don't let that cut down on your enjoyment of the record.

real tight song.. thanks.

Don't matter if it's not a big single as long as it gets cruz a buzz that's what counts gor now. When interscope finally give's cruz a release date then that's usually is when they start pushing singles for now it look's like they are just building a buzz!!! Just enjoy the music like Ediie said!!!

i hope this track does bring some good buzz for omar. honestly, i dont think it will bring as much as we hope for tho. like i said earlier...the track sounds lazy, he shouldve brought his a-game. judging by his lyrics, it sounds like he didnt even really try. thats two tracks already that are borderline average/below average....its time to step it up.
