Omar Cruz **ONLY LATIN MC SIGN TO MAJOR** EVERYBODY ELSE DROPPED. WHY?

[jointz]

After a year or so of seeing all these latin mc's signing deals with Aftermath,Roc a fella,Interscope & so on. They all get dropped except for OMAR CRUZ. Why you'll think it is so hard for a latin mc to really make it? There is so many latin people in this country it's crazy that we still have not made it in the rap game. For now I will do my part & keep supporting Omar Cruz. Leave some feed back.

It's indeed somewhat strange, but I like to think that those particular artists got dropped for reasons other than their ethnic origin. I'm sure there's lots of label politics/budget cuts in involved.

I just hope that Omar's album will be released this year, if possible before the summer of '08. B.Y.I. Entertainment has never named a particular release date so far, so we can't say that they're not sticking to their word. As far as I know "early '08" was the time frame that the album was scheduled to drop. It's safe to say that it won't be "early" '08, so I just hope it'll at least come out this year. I think it will.
He still has the label support from Geffen/Interscope. Tom Punanzio (CEO of Geffen) was at Omar's video shoot about two months ago, so I think that's a good indication that the label is still supportive of him, and thus not likely to drop Omar.

It's probably just a matter of patience now. Omar & his camp are currently in Miami, and later this weekend they fly out to New York. So perhaps they'll take care of some business matters (mixing? mastering?) over there and finalize the album. I should check with LuLu about that...

Damn you know a lot about Omar Cruz & his camp. Do you know if he is dropping that song with Game next week? I saw on another site that Cruz has Game on his single & that the single will drop next week. Is that true? If so that would be dope ass fuck. Those 2 artist get my vote for being on the for front of the west coast movement.

Omar has signed with Geffen in June 06... I think it is safe to say 08 or never ...

Agree with you. He has to drop in 08 or it's not going to look good for him. I really do hope he drops his album this year.

Its potential and budget cuts - simple - and TRUST me, no one is safe right now. there are massive things afoot in the industry - MASSIVE.

there will be lots of artists, both known and unknown that will be forced to take cuts, change contracts, make sacrifices or be dropped....its that simple right now

[lonestone]

Yeah. I think he's hanging on for dear life in my opinion.

We will find out soon hopefully he is cool & put's out a classic album.

I would say one thing that has helped Omar tremendously so far is Lulu. That guy has been round and round in the music business and knows his stuff and knows how to handle business. He is a tremendous asset to everyone around him.

Yeah, in the interview DubCNN conducted with LuLu about 6 months ago, LuLu came across as a very industry-wise person. And not in the way that he was bragging about his knowledge. He just knows what's up. Clever dude.
