Or another great move by majors is killing an artists buzz.they have a monster single but then push the album back for 3 months then it flops.majors have no idea what their doing
definitely true. major labels have lost the plot. they might have known how to get numbers before but not anymore. doesn't apply to 50 right now though cause he doesn't have a monster single. his new single was a step down from the previous one (get up). 50 is pure fail.
he doesn't have to sellout, he already tried that with curtis. his only option is to drop some groundbreaking singles that will be big international hits. unfortunately the industry seems to have dried up when it comes to innovating and making good music.remember the nelly furtado/justin timberlake albums. pure innovation on the sounds, tim and danja making some stuff that was pop and good music at the same time. i would have thought that dre of all people would be able to give 50 the fire musically to have some smash hits internationally but so far this has not been the case. the business logic behind dropping anything mediocre or even just plain good is complete failure right now. my only assumption is that dre is saving all the good shit for himself/em and couldn't give a crap about 50 not doing so well. strange though cause i would have thought the people at interscope might want 50 to do really good numbers $_$
you forgot about this one also although 'get up' didn't have the best hook it was very catchy from a musical perspective. can't say the same for 'i get it in'.
