Why 'wouldn't get far'?
« on: December 28, 2006, 03:29:42 PM »
My friend is telling me Game's releasing the kanye single to get kanye's fans to buy the album or whatever but maaaan i feel like there is way better single material on the album.

remedy, da shit, compton, are all catchy and 'too much'???? MY GOD what a catchy ass banger, sounds alot like the WSCG song with Nate though, what was that song called?

It makes sense when you look at it as far as marketability....

Kanye did the beat, and raps on it...which means it has much more of a univesal sound than any of the other tracks you mentioned. Remedy, Da Shit, and Compton are only catchy to us who are fans of West Coast gangsta rap and street soundin rap...but it doesn't have the catchiness and appeal of Wouldn't get far.

Not only that, but the subject matter on this track is controversial to the point that it stirs up a lotta convo...which it has already done. People are always talkin about "u heard that song where Game disses/calls out Mellysa Ford and Vida???" so it stays in discussion.

Too much would have had a better chance back in 2001 as a single...but it wouldn't be as strong of a single right now. Nate was hotter then (to the public) and that beat has more of a early 2000's West feel to it.

when did gangsta nation come out? the same public that loved that song would love 'too much'. who produced gangsta nation?

i don't think it sounds very street, early 2000s west coast production is reeeeally slickly produced 70's funk, shit comes straight out the 70's too much does, shit would BANG in the club.  I think 'how we do' proved that the era a single comes from is irrelevant, if that shit is a catchy single it's a catchy single.

wouldn't get far you'd say is genius?

word, it's a cool song, not the best but it's cool. but truuuust, too much would knock down the walls. maybe it'd be a good third single.

One Blood peaked at #71 and Let's Ride at #46 so hopefully this single will at least hit the top 20 and get Game's album past plat, its already getting a lot of airplay in NYC so that's a good sign...

It's a smart move. All of you wanting Cali Vacation as a single need to come back to reality. "Wouldn't Get Far" will do well on the charts because the beat and misogynistic lyrics appeal to women.
