...and another thread where everyone plays jr. industry analyst's. to be honest, if bishop was gonna get dropped it woulda happened by now.on the strength, im not too current on these issues or know anyone behind thescenes to talk on it,but someone had to give him the money to fund 4 dope as fuck mixtapes that gotdownloaded 100s of thousands of times over. plus grow up was actuallycatching spins all across the nation. he was even on the wendy williams showout on the east coast. he was getting major burn with almost no official promo. the label put out a cease and desist because they didn't want his single taking away any attention from their other projects.they already stated that. grow up even had an article in billboard because it was catching burn.just cuz none of yall were feeling it don't mean no one was feeling it. i don't get yall dudes, this guy as an artist is a complete package.lyrically he's dope, he has uplifting songs, political songs, he has gangster songs,he has the bragging mc songs, the club songs and sex songs.all over dope production and beats with dope features. and he's genuine and real. sometimes i think the only reason people don't fuck with him is becausehe's not presented as a "gangster" or "trap star" type rapper. a while back every body was all about this dude, now everybodyswitching sides like lesbians.
i guess there is a chance they could drop em's album close to 50 but this is interscope so it's pretty hard to imagine 1 album dropping let alone 2 in quick succession. but i don't see 50 getting pushed back to make room for anyone. he was already pretty annoyed at interscope over the curtis release and given the size of the guys ego and the fact he's already dropped a single and video i don't think he's moving.more importantly for both releases is the desperate need for big international singles - something that will be outrageously popular, street/pop at the same time and quality music. this has been lacking from the industry for some time. 50 has to drop a record that is actually 'in da club' part 2 or his album is gonna flop miserably.i really like 'get up' and its one of the best singles in quite a while, especially from dre, who is blatantly ghost-producing for scott storch again. like how candy shop was 'mixed' by dre but this time its more obvious as the drums aren't anything like any of scott's beats. but it's still not good enough - the video is SILLY and it's not 'in da club' part 2. getting there but not THE track to get people excited about 50 again, which is a pretty hard task.
Cause his single didnt catch on (he was really kind of dissing his own audience with that grow up shit)
Cause his single didnt catch on (he was really kind of dissing his own audience with that grow up shit)I hope they can promote him with Detox.

If the industry worked the way it used to, Em would drop, maybe showcase what's his name, Cashis or something if he is still even on Shady, Dre would drop and Bishop would be showcased even though Dre would also include the usual suspects and while the buzz is still hot, Bishop would drop all in 2009. Of course 50 would drop somewhere in there and Cashis would be the odd man out assuming he is still even on Shady....I'm not saying Bishop has the Buzz that Snoop had back in the day but Damn.......Dude should not be the next Hittman...He deserves better than that..
