[js83]

wtf u motherfuckers saying it sucks? its like best warren g album, i was so suprised when i heard it, dj quik trauma and warren g's album - best albums of this year for sure

   some of ya dickride these westcoast rappers WAY too much...i mean i understand if the albums are actually great...dj quik, shit aint nothin special...same with warren G's...i was expecting some more g-funk type of beats...instead half of the songs sound like some shit that is on TRL, 106 & PARK...generic ass commerical bullshit...i know times have changed from 94' and i aint expecting the same types of shit...but c'mon...i do like warren g's album better then quik's though...

[RODZILLA]

i'll definately being buying the new warren g album. i just hope it gets released in canada because dj quil still hasn't come out up here yet

[DJ_PK]

Album aint half as good as everyone making it out to be, not sure if I'm gonna buy it or not yet.

It's solid, but no classic.

Quik definately outdone him.

[bjax]

yall niggas is fuckin liars. i DOWNLOADED the album...its pretty weak overall.

shit, finally someone told it like it is.

[wcsoldier]

Some dope tracks but overall, nothing impressive and a weak replay value

[acbaylove]

The theme track is amazing. The others are ok. Good album overall, let's say a 3.5/5. But i'mma buy it for sure, i cant stop supporting the G-Child. He was my hero back in 1994.

[We Fly High]

dont like it at all. very average, dont plan on adding it to my cd collection.

[Diggfinger]

gonna buy it as soon as I can......cant wait for it actuelly

Here's the real about burning vs. buying...

I'm a Warren G fan - 'Regulate' and 'I Want It All' are great, great albums IMO.

I'm interested in his new album but the posts in this thread put me off it and, with so many people saying it's average, I probably won't spend my money on it.

I might be missing out... it might be a dope album, but Warren G and his team are so scared of bootlegging that I can't preview it to find out. Guaranteed - if I downloaded it and liked it, I would buy it, just like I did with Quik's and probably half the albums I buy. OK, so if I downloaded it and thought it was wack, I wouldn't buy it... but there's no loss there because now I won't anyway

It's a real shame... if artists are confident of the quality of their product that should have no problem with someone downloading it. If an album sounds dope as an Mp3 through computer speakers, who isn't going to want the properly mastered and packaged CD to bump in their ride and on their system? Warren G obviously doesn't see it like that...

  100 % agree with that, the decrease of the music quality (outside labels pbs) is the reason why the sales dropped, not the bootleing. If the album is dope, I'll buy it, if not I'll burn it. Nowadays, it's rare I buy an album before downloading it

95% of the time people recommend shit on the westcoast forum and it is weak ass shit.

yup.  Not saying that about the Warren G album, I haven't dow.... ergh, bought it yet.

I remember when he was your hero in 2002.  LOL

You're kidding yourself.  I see hundreds and hundreds of bootlegged cd copies sold at the flea market every weekend, none of those people care about a properly mastered CD.  There are people like you that will buy it after they try it, but the vast, vast, VAST majority of people don't give a fuck, they just want it cheap, or free is even better.

You think the reason Michael Jackson is the only one to sell 53 million copies of 1 album is because he's 4 times better than anybody else?  Hell no.  The reason nobody else is selling like that is because artists sales are crippled and cut in half by bootlegging, especially in hiphop. 

Same thing with Country Music.  You think Country Music cd's are really that much better than the rock and hiphop stuff that comes out?  Nope, but they're consistantly at the top of the charts when they're released, because all the hicks and rednecks don't have computers or don't know how to download copies of the albums... so they go out and buy them.  Meanwhile, twice as many rap fans just download theirs off the internet, and the DJ Quik album comes in at #243 while the Brooks N' Dunn album comes in at #5.
