Isn't it sad for Bishop Lamont?

[Dimos]

I was in a big store in Nice, France today. They had "The Confessional" on the shelves and available for listening. An employee was tellin some random guy that he was the new Dre signature and that he was dope blah blah... I listened to it and figured out it was the bootleg version DJ Strong had sent to DJ Whoo Kid... Shadyville.biz written on the backcover btw.

Really??

[Booz]

I hope this fluids up new comedy video starring Taje.

[Dimos]

Really??

You said that because of him buzzin in Europe or because of the bootlegged version being sold by shadyville?

[GangstaBoogy]

I don't get it...

For a second i thought this was gonna be another Rap/Hip-Hop Bashing Thread.......but yea its fuc'd up that the country's out side the State's are buying that gold from the local mom&pop/Sev's and getting a green neck or wrist !

[Dimos]

I don't get it...

Basically what Im sayin is that its sad that people outside of the states will get to know Bishop from a bootleg CD that he didn't even want to come out... Not that the version Strong leaked is bad, but that's not how Bishop wanted it to be...

I guess that's fucked up cause he won't see any paper off that, but he's getting worldwide exposure....the fact that people in France are even checking for his shit should make him happy....

I agree.  I don't see what's so sad about it.  He should be happy anybody outside of CA has an interrest in his music.

problem is they aint buyin yo shit after they already got it..  but i guess in todays times with recession right around the corner and everything LOL! that might be a pretty good tool after all to find some modest people out there willing to buy your copy after they download it, NO WONDER WHY CHRISTIAN ROCK IS DOING SO GOOD RIGHT NOW

[Digital Pimpin']

Bishop's got a few fans here in the UK too, but I'd bet most downloaded the proper version from DubCNN.

i think most of the rappers who get pissed about bootlegging arent that good and have to work really hard to make their shit sound half decent. nowadays who is really going to buy a cd by some new rapper they have never even heard of
