Grow Up
http://www.dubcnn.com/media/audio/bishoplamont-growup/
Exclusive (I got it)
http://www.dubcnn.com/media/audio/bishoplamont-exclusive
so which one do you prefer?
for me, it's Grow Up, by far.
i don't like Exclusive at all :-\ i thought that Bishop, Marsha & Focus would have chosen a different concept :P not something that has generic written all over it :-X
i guess it's a test.
anyway, Grow Up is a great song: good concept, great production, humour + crossover appeal :)
-
No need to compare these two.
But Grow Up wins if you really wanna hear it.
-
Wow Bishop chose the whackest Focus beat out..
Marsha's hook is ASS.. Horrible.
This is the kinda music Bishop is making, and they wonder why no one likes him. Why don't he believe in his other song and "GROW UP"?

i see your point about the contrast, but both songs are meant for the mainstream ;)
hence i made this poll

Because due to Interscope, Grow Up was stopped.

"Grow Up" easily. It's 13 votes vs. 0 votes. What's the point of this poll? Did you expect a different result? lol

I think it's too early to compare these two.

17-0 should tell you the difference..

Okay.. maybe I should rephrase that.. It's too early for me to compare them. I was never a big fan of Grow Up when it first came out.. so both tracks are the same to me. Have to listen to both several more times.

well off course i expect Grow Up to win :laugh:
it's just that i think the release of Exclusive is a test, so i want to know how well it would do.

lol, if somebody changes their mind, then they will have the opportunity to express it here ;)

I have listened Grow Up several time but Exclusive I only listened the first 20 seconds and then I hit eject.

the beat for 'exclusive' is pretty tight but as a track is corny. bishop is bordering on contradicting himself by making tracks like 'grow up' and then doing the corny club shit too, as if he has to because music with a message doesn't sell/record labels won't take a risk on it.
q-tip nailed the problem it in this quote:
"Their model for getting numbers is broken," Q-Tip explained. "They realize it, but they don't have any solutions. They all seem shook. A&R departments need people who really know music. That way, they can make records that last a long time, because eventually it's going to be about the whole catalog selling again. Especially in these hard times, people want to make sure that their dollar is going to something that's worth something."

+ the fact that no matter what single he comes up with, the label won't support it, since certain artists have a higher priority

indeed, but they shouldn't be. the traditional model for getting numbers is broken! authentic underground hip-hop is making a comeback, especially on the internet where all the real music heads be at. they could catch that wave with bishop, get a massive marketing campaign going on the internet, building on the mixtapes. it's not really that risky if you use the model of making quality music, but interscope is too short-sighted.

BUT, I think, for the records labels to change, and start pumping out music that means something. THE ARTISTS have to take a stance, and refuse to record these BULLSHIT records. Even if it means a hit single, an album coming out, or even a record deal. The artists needs to stand up, and sacrifice the money and fame to save their art.
Even one record like this, will show the record labels that they can still control the game like this..

"Grow Up" for sure! 8)

oh yeah no question about that ;)
i wasn't blaming it all on the labels; i was just stating that bishop got himself trapped.

so it's 31 Vs. 1 :laugh: ( i know it says 30 vs 2, but one doesn't count since he changed it later for gimmick purposes ;) )
JRK, Dae One or whoever, show this to bishop :laugh: ;)
