I think alot of artists use the term "street single" sometimes as a excuse. Think about it, if the record flops it is "not a real single" and "the label did not approve the song, I picked it out just to put it out there". If it blows up then it is I blew up off of a street single, it is not even official. Sometimes it is songs that the artist foot the bill for. It is getting back to where artists and labels got to get the promotion and hustle game up to create a buzz for these albums.

I think street singles are joints put out there way before the album release to create some buzz like Vato which they knew was not gonna get radio play cause of the content but it reintroduces Snoop spitting as hard as he has in years, and then they drop the radio single around the album release That's That Shit to get airplay and continue the buzz

Snoop is a example of a artist that the strategy worked. For others it is a excuse to pick another song as the official single. Official or not, they all serve the same purpose.

yaah, ur right... i dont know, to me it kinda feels like they are in the shadows of Biggie... "the relax n take notes" is a bangin song, but u dont really know if its a Biggie duets song or what it is... i dont know... 8 ball n MJG are legends.. but i think they should release a single with just the two of them, so the public would know who they are!

with UGK and Three 6 Mafia makin noise... it doesnt feel like 8ball and MJG is standin on their own, they just ridin along...

I like Games album but I dont think he has any singles on there that will do well mainstream wise. Wouldnt Get Far didn't help sales one bit and I think that was probably Games best chance at a mainstream hit. Game might just say fuck it and save money on putting out another video. If I were Game, id do a remix to one of the songs on the album

Supossedly (sp?) Game said in an interview he was gonna re-release DA with tracks that were left off it like the one produced by Dre and Vidal, the Neptunes track Chllin and probably some more. I wouldnt be surprised if he made a song with a gunit member and put it on the re-release. He also said he was gonna make a mini movie for the title track...
