One Blood on TRL
« on: September 13, 2006, 02:40:26 PM »
So I was channel surfing earlier today and I come across MTV and TRL is on and "One Blood" was the number 10 video. That's pretty good for a street single, let alone a west coast rap video. I didn't even know they were playing this video on MTV. I never really watch MTV anymore but I can't remember the last time TRL played a rap video. Anyways I thought I'd share this with you guys.

Why do I get the feeling that this isn't going to be JUST a "street single"?

Not that suprising Obies Cry Now made top 10 too and the video is very simillar. Not to mention Geffen are great when it comes to promotion.

Nah, this is still just the "street single."

My guess is that label wanted to just throw out one of its less commercially viable tracks as a buzzer and not waste the big name produced ones from Kanye, Scott Storch, Cool n Dre, Timbaland, possibly Dre, etc.

There is no way that Game/Geffen would put out One Blood as the mainstream single when they have so many options from heavy hitter producers.

That and the fact its not a club joint or a joint for the ladies lol  I agree with G-g-g-g-gunit I like that the track has a reggae feel to it.

Co-sign the guy who said they tossed it out there as a buzz tester.  I think they ran with the joint to see like 'do people still want to hear Game now that 50 isnt on the track shipping to the radio'

Props on One Blood hitting TRL for Game, I mean TRL is lame as fuck but from an exposure standpoint its a good look.

thats what im thinking.
it may not be the big single but it is the first single. and id bet you that it is on the cd. someone said it probably wasnt gonna be. when are you gonna stop calling it a srteet single? its already on the white girls channel. on the teenage girls music show.

I could care less about the proper terminology, "street single" or not. I'm just glad to see a west coast artist getting some national spins for a change.

they probably made all the Geffen interns call TRL all day, or paid alot of money and did alot of favours to get "One Blood" on TRL, but that's just a guess.
