Well, while I"m sure Rebel has some bias, his information has always ended up being accurate. I just find the entire situation shameful. Bishop has always been a rare west coast artist and deserves all the shine he can secure.
Quote from: Meho on November 23, 2010, 01:51:41 PMExactly. Rebel is a cool dude and all but it's hard not to question his objectivity when it comes to things about Bishop. During the past few months it became quite obvious that he's connected to Bishop, maybe even in his PR team, similar to what Lunatic is to Knoc. So I think he's overreacting when he's saying that Bishop was some super crazy protege from Dre. If that was the case he'd have the Em and 50 treatment. To me it looks like Bishop was one the thousand artists Dre signs, they do some (ghost) writing, in the process he finds out they don't have what it takes and it's on to the next one. I think in the whole time Bishop was on Aftermath Dre mentioned his name twice; on Power 106 when he got signed (similar to Kendrick Lamar now) and in that Youtube clip. Same shit is happening or will happen to Slim The Mobster and Hayes, with the exception that they mind end up being on Detox, especially Slim (Dre seems excited about him).So basically, no hard feelings Rebel, I just take everything you say with a grain of salt.hittman never got the Em & 50 treatment either.

Dre tried REALLY hard to keep him. Jimmy didn't want to spend money on him 'cause he didn't gangsta rap like 50. Other things to...

Other things to...This has to be some sort of a joke. Gangsta rap does not sell anymore. Right now, conscious rap, positive rap, and pop rap are what sell, for the most part. Just look at Eminem, Kanye West, B.o.B., T.I., Jay-Z, etc etc. 50 Cent dropped a gangster album last fall and it flopped. In fact, BISD was probably the last truly gangsta rap album I've seen heavily promoted by a major label. I guess Jimmy just doesn't have a clue at this point.
