Afterman/Busta Rhymes....why so quiet?

[Doggystylin]

Whats the deal? isn't the album supossed to come out in July? I've been hearing/seeing NO promotion at all. Makes you wonder how serious they are about this release. Plus I thought mellow was supossed to come with a Busta Rhymes update,anyways, its a shame cause I for one was really lookin forward to this Busta album and it has potential to be huge.

well they are shooting the video in 2 weeks so itīll come out for sure.

[T-Dub]

I read that it is possibly being pushed back until September

[soopa-man]

You know ive been hearing rumors its being pushed back to due G-Unit having so many releases...Tony Yayo at the end of June, Olivia in July, and the soundtrack to 50's movie in the fall....and Interscope wants them all to sell, so Busta is being held back supposedly so every one can sell equally...damn it shows how much power Dre really has at Interscope, he made that place what it is and he aint pushing for the first Aftermath only album since "2001" and "MMLP"...

Nah, since Truth Hurts album.

^^^Oh Yeah no shit!! Damn no wonder Busta's album is being held back not a good track record after that album...Busta's albums havent really been selling lately so, this album is big for him, and a risk for Dre and Aftermath, they'll come with some hot shit though....

Bustaīs last album sold 700k and other then that all of his albums has sold more then 2 million(WW)copies and with a 10 year career thatīs pretty damn good.

Power gos to...Jimmy Iovine

nah homie i remember "Anarchy" sold under Platinum, it went Gold and had trouble doing so, if you remember "Get Out" reached people saying he bit off JAy's "Hard Knock Life" and "Fire" wasnt well recieved, he was undercooping with the videos for both with Elektra and that was the reason he was breached for his contract and able to sign with J-Records and "It Aint Safe No More: also had a hard time selling until that wack joint with Mariah, im not hating homie im a Busta Rhymes fan i got all of his albums, even the greatest hits for "Fire It Up Remix (Explicit"...its just one of the reasons i think they are being so hard on him at Interscope, they are not used to those kind of units sold

I know dogg, but Dre is a fuckin Icon, Legend and Genious he sets the standards with the shit he does and his artist are always the most signifigant of their era...Dre should be able to say "Hey, Ive got some hot ass shit with Busta we put in some real work and I have some dope songs with him, we need to get this album out there!"...Busta has been really working on this album, Busta has never done that! He always ruches through them, so you know he is coming with some shit this time!

Y'all missed out on the Mellowman posts this weekend?

^^ There's what he has to say on the Busta project. It's not coming out real soon, but the album's finished. Expect it by the end of the summer, and expect it to be hot. That's a sort summary of what Mellow has to say.

Why we keep going back and forth on tis sub-juect?
Busta admitted it himself homie, he didnt sell enough to recoup at Elektra, the videos costed millions for "Anarchy" so they gave up on him, same with "It Aint Safe No More", J-Records wasnt making there money back with it, thats why he left and Rah Digga was shelved the way she was, Busta wanted more promo, but they didnt give it to him...trust me around the time "Genesis" was getting promo, "Anarchy" moved about "500,000" at the time...
 

May 2004 In reference to "It Aint Safe no More" and that's damn near a year later homie....
XXL: How did your last record do?
I think i did about 700,000...
