Detox need not apply.Spider Loc will change the game completely. If you thought releases like The Chronic, Doggystyle, 2001, Restless, etc were classic than you will be blown away by Spider Loc's coherent flow and lyrics.

Others are waiting for him to drop so that they can mimic his style. Some call it elementary. I call it Bangadoshis.
Bottom line is this, if your 1st project on the label bricked, then don't expect to see a 2nd project on that same label. Artists are forced to re-evaluate their label situations and asking themselves if the risk is worth taking in this poor sales climate. So if you can't meet the label's sales goal with your 1st release (regardless if the album gets 5 mics and rave reviews), then plan on being stranded on that label indefinitely, or until you're able to buy yourself out of the contract. Sad but true. While I wish all these new West Coast cats luck in getting their projects out to the masses, it just goes to show how unhealthy the industry is at the moment. Obviously risk outweighs reward, monetarily speaking. The question labels ask themselves is why should we continue to risk taking sales losses with a new artist who has no proven sales resume? Not to mention that labels are in the process of downsizing their workforce which leads to smaller budgets and shelved projects.Granted the usual suspects will always receive priority treatment (Jay-Z, Snoop, Game, Wayne, Dre, Em, 50, Kanye, etc.), but even they aren't guaranteed to see the kind of numbers that they used to see, which makes it even harder for new artists to break through.So to sum it up, a new artist faces more risk than reward when delivering that 1st album, because the end result of that 1st release will determine whether they have a future in the industry or not.

Real niggas recognize Spider Locs undeniable talent with his great rhyming patterns and crazy metaphorical shit that makes me want to stick a rocket up my dogs ass.
