Artists get most there money from shows so alienating their fanbase is actually a bad idea.
Snoop's last albums didn't sell shit, why? His fanbase doesn't like it.

Artists making pop-music have a harder time then artists who just make music for themselves and there loyal fans since pop crowds move on easier.

So stop with the 'they need to move on shit' it's a bad move.

real talk!
i remember hearin how warren's shows were gettin cancelled, coz of the lack of ticket sales.
people want warren releasin albums that are on that OG westcoast gfunk shit.
this experimental shit that he's doin isnt working for him, and it shows in his lack of sales for his shows and his g-files album.
in the end, warren's goin to do what he feels like, but more and more people will stop checkin for him, if he ignores what his fanbase wants.

if he thinks he's winning any new fans with this new pop-rnb shit, then he's crazy

I really don't understand the fans who say: "_______ should make music like he used to during the '93-'96, Death Row era." You do realize that if he were to do so, the resulting album would probably only sell to a handful of the members of this board? It would then likely be considered a greater flop than anything they've previously released.

Like Snoop said in the interview with Nima a while back, music is a job for these people. Most of the fans who loved the music of that era have grown up, and, as I wrote in my Cypress review, Hip-Hop has always been considered a young mans game. The majority of people paying for rap music aren't the grown men that remember firtst listening to Doggystyle. They're the adolescents helping Gucci sell more than Snoop, and paying for their favourite Drake ringtone. You want a sustained career? Well, guess what - you have to make some compromises. Whether it's Snoop working with The-Dream or Warren jumping on a B.o.B. track, artists are constantly expected to adapt with the times. Do so or get left behind. And, for the record, it is a compromise - Warren may be on these "pop" songs you don't like, but listen closely. The style is the same. It's still the same Warren flow loyal fans are accustomed to.

Finally, Warren's at a stage in his career where he should be able to make these decisions without the constant criticism of those who once supported him. Dude has given you so much great music that, like it or not, you should at least respect the route he has chosen to take.

"Want my old shit? Buy my old albums." - Jay-Z

I know it's a strange thing to say especially in a hip hop forum, but artists should NEVER make music with the purpose of making money. That is why people keep saying hip hop is dead and stuff like that. My theory is that you should express yourself and what you are in your music. I respect Warren G, he's one of my favorite artist from the west, but he IS out of place on a B.O.B track. It's just not him.

Why are classic albums considered classics? Because they perfectly represent the vibe, the originality of an artist. Take Doggystyle for an example. It just represent perfectly, to me at least, the personnality of Snoop Dogg. Now take Kid Cudi. I'm not saying the album is a classic, but it was really good in my opinion because nobody except Kid Cudi could've make an album like that. What I'm trying to say is that, if you try to make music that sounds like 93 to please some fans, or music that sounds like Drake for another fanbase, it WILL sound out of place. What happened to making music just because you want to make music? Nobody thinks that way in rap right now. There is some artists that do it and really try to innovate and create their own sound.

I think we need to judge music for what it is. When I listen to a track, I try to ignore the name of the rapper. Just hear it for what it is. I don't give a fuck if you dropped 15 platinum albums, if you are from the west, east or south. In my opinion, it's completely stupid to say you should respect the route he has chosen to take.
