Most likely the perceived investments into Obie's album were not worth what they sold.  It is what it is.  The idea that every artist can be sell as much as em or 50 at the time of their peak is pathetic.  You got to adjust your costs according to the popularity of said MC.  I'm still convinced not releasing the music is the most damaging affect on a label and an artist.

That has nothing to do with Obie or his sales. Labels are extra nervous about breaking new artists these days because it is super difficult to sell artists that don't have an established fanbase of their own. Even Stat Quo who had both Dre and Eminem co-signing him couldn't get his album out.

I think not. Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, Del, Souls of Mis, the entire Hiero crew, Locksmith and Left, Dan the Automator, E-A-Ski, Andre Nickatina, Zion I, Planet Asia, The Grouch, Living Legends and a shitload of other rappers I don't have time to make a list of. Get off the tip.
