BISHOP LAMONT speaks on AFTERMATH dropping JOELL ORTIZ (AUDIO)

[K.Dub]

Can't say I'm surprised that Ortiz got dropped.

[FOC]

Bishop's not about to get dropped no time soon. He's too involved in Dre's Detox project as far as being heavily featured. Plus he constantly puts out mixtapes and material keeping his name out there.

[Meho]

Can't say I'm suprised, we all saw it coming.

Here is the full interview, it starts at around 1 hour:

When he got called in the radio Bishop said that they was just working on Detox with Raphael Saadiq  Reformation aint coming anytime soon though, he said that he still needs to go in with Premo, Pete Rock, Chad Hugo.... he basically said that Detox and Reformation are being created together, so I wouldn't expect it to drop untill 4th quarter.

IT'S big biz,how many units did the bricc push??? come on how many of yall brought joell's shit, how many of yall was like damn i hope joell is all over detox,hell most people on this muthafucca,would rather hear the dogg pound all over detox,be honest,joell can rap but alot of equals can rap,that label is about making shit that cross the fucc over!!! and if you are not willing to work in that system and sacrifice alot!!! or just be into making all types of records (cause "you" like it and grew up on it) you shouldn't try to get in a system like that, if you say you in this shit about spit'n flame don't think all about the fame. joell needs to be on a label that focuses on straight up lyricist,and unfortunately "chipper jones wise" those are indy labels. i mean start yall own labels and sign just lyricist and see how fucc'n hard it is,especially in a biz that doesn't really make money no more. something else the rap game needs to take in consideration,stop just trying to market to YOUNG KIDS!!!! IT'S NOT A WINNING SITUATION,UNLESS IT'S A FASHIONABLE OR PRETTY GIRL/BOY ARTIST,WHERE KIDS BUY THEY FUCC'N ALBUMS FOR THE DAMN PICTURES INSIDE OF EM. OLDER FANS ARE STILL MORE INTO BUYING THE ACTUAL PRODUCT CAUSE THATS HOW THEY CAME UP,PERFECT EXAMPLE IS ALICIA KEYS, YOU MAKE MUSIC "OLDER FANS" AND YOUNGER FANS CAN GET INTO, MOST OLDER FANS I KNOW IS BUYING IT WHILE THE YOUNGER ONE'S ARE SPLIT BETWEEN BUYING AND DOWNLOADING, AND YOU SEE IT IN HER SALES, SHE'S THRIVING HELLA IN A DOWN MARKET,EQUALS NEED TO THINK MORE YELL

^The Brick WASN'T an Aftermath release

i know that,but labels like the math and people like jimmy looks at releases to see what type of impact they make,joell's buzz didn't extend really beyond the net and he didn't see his commercial potential,like bishop said in the interview you got people who specialize and went to school for business and not for musicial talent yell
