Warren G - NEW Online interview !!!!!!!

[Teddy Roosevelt]

NobodySmiling.com : Your latest album, In the Mid- Nite Hour, dropped back in October 2005, so what are the numbers looking like so far?

Warren G : To be real with you, I don’t even know. I didn’t even check. The company I’m on is an independent label (Hawino Records). The numbers aren’t humongous but they will grow.

There was an interview with the Lox (D block) a couple of months ago, and they were saying that the advantages of having an independent label is the higher percentage of the profit you get to keep from each album sale.  they were saying when they were first signed they made such a little amount off each album like 80 cents or something in that region.  also they were giving examples of people from the south making so much going through independent labels.though there are disadvanatges of independent labels like promotion, i think an independent label is the best suited for Warren G in  the mean time, he has a lot more control , freedom and stuff, which i think he wanted because of his past experiences, Universal...

He didn't really have a choice. After his first album he was on the decline. SO if he went indy he would make a grip of money, if he stayed major he probably wouldn't of been recognized in the mainstream, and probably wouldn't make the $$$.


Does anyone know how much midnight hour sold?

that bullshit if they gave ROTR 2 and a half, that CD was amazing.  This latest CD was Warren's worst IMO, so I think an average rating is reasonable.  I hope he gets more promo rolling though.

" I only had one bad review and that was from one motherfucker at Vibe Magazine named Joseph something. I forgot his name but I can tell he’s a hater because he didn’t even talk about the record he just talked bad about me. And when I catch him I’m gonna beat his ass. Show him and he don’t know me, he got me fucked up. I’m not a violent guy. Don’t disrespect me because you don’t know me. I must have met one of his girls or something back in the day because with this fool, this is the second time he did this to me. "

This one I read because I wanted to see how bad he was hating on me. Seriously, if you read it you probably would have went off on him. Everyone who read it was like “who is this dude ?” . I had all my friends, peoples who wanted to get at this dude. But I was like you know what don’t trip cause I’m gonna see. I can come right up to his office and find him.

Out of everybody that interviewed me he’s the only one that gave be a bad review. Everybody gave it up to me. XXL all these motherfucker’s gave me double extra- larges. But the clown at Vibe Magazine. And I wish The people at Vibe would look at that shit and see that they don’t need that, we don’t need that motherfucker writing for us. I haven’t done nothing but great music throughout my career and he can kiss my ass. I‘d take the losses on that one because I’m gonna knock his chin backwards. He must have forgot I’m 6‘3". I’m not playing and I don’t play. But it’s cool though.

haha he sounds pissed.
