She seemed to care about establishing relationships with the artists. I don't know that that's the case with the current management. If they feel they have the legal right to put out this "Hood Star" album, I doubt they'll give much of a shit if Crooked I is happy about it or not. I guess it will all boil down to how confident do they feel that they have the legal right to put it out. If they feel it's within their rights, I'm sure they'll release it. I doubt they will feel especially inclined to do Crooked I any favors. not really.she was just talking shit Lol. Well, what's your basis for saying that? Sure I'm taking her at her word to an extent. But my point is, if you look at the way the company has been run since she left, it's gone more downhill. You need look no further than that Kurupt album for proof of that. While any company is going to look at making a profit as the bottom line, at least Lara Lavi arranged face to face meetings with Crooked I and many of the other former artists, to try to win them over. I would almost guarantee that there's been none of that since she's left. Because all that's going down now is the investors scrambling to recoup any amount of money they can. That's all that Kurupt "Against the Grain" rehash was. It was never part of the originally planned releases from Wideawake. It was a knee-jerk reaction to put something out to try to make some money quickly. And that's probably all this "Hood Star" album is going to amount to. It doesn't seem like it's being handled with any care. It's not exactly "Say Hi to the Bad Guy," and it's definitely not "Untouchable." It's just a random collection of tracks put out in haste to make money. People with that mentality are just trying to make their money back, they definitely don't give a shit about the artist.the interviews & the reality.she knew exactly what to say.

but the question is, did she really care?she sounded like a politician.so i don't know if Wideawake was better off with her.besides, was she really calling the shots when she was a CEO? i doubt it.
Does this shit have a tracklist yet?? Are Crook Show and Raw Dawgs on it?? Jack 101??

Well, I'm not trying to nominate her for sainthood or anything. Wideawake was poorly ran even when she was there. It's my opinion that things were better with her there than without her. But regardless of who was in charge, the company has yet to be ran with any efficiency. I don't even think of Wideawake as a company anymore though. More like just a few investors without any frame of reference for what they're doing (or any interest in what they're doing for that matter) just selling off tracks out of desperation, to try to make a few bucks before the whole thing implodes.
