Title: Another Breaking News: Omar Cruz To Leave Interscope
Post by: BigEEE on February 08, 2009, 12:07:23 PM
My Home girl who has the inside scoop in the Interscope building is saying that Omar Cruz and BYI are planning to leave Interscope due to lack of promotion. Since she and a squad of other employee's got laid off, Many of the projects are just going to be put on stan by. Now I see why Snoop and and a handful of other artist aren't happy with the work being put in the Interscope building. I guess we'll see what the deal is in the upcoming weeks.

That's strange, didn't BYI, Interscope and Geffen just sign a big deal too...

Doesn't look good for Interscope right now.

I guess that's why omar has been quite lately. Interscope never really did promote him. We will see what happens.

Anytime a song goes to radio I think the record label "Interscope" is the one that promotes it all over the radio. Don't really think artist do that. Interscope has been putting out a lot of garbage pop shit. We need L.A radio to support west coast artist.

there's alot of shit going down over at Interscope.  :-\
i know a few people over at Geffen & they said Geffen is just Interscope now. cant remember correctly, they told me a few weeks back.
& Jimmy might do something CRAZY with all albums that are put out. some crazy info, i cant put it out there cuz it's a rumor but it might happen.
Jimmy dont wanna pay too much for certain employess that help wit albums...EMPLOYEES, not artists.
when i first heard about this, it was very disappointing to hear & might/will be disappointing for the music industry...its very disappointing.  :-\ :-[ :( ??? :'(

I think in O.Cruz's case it goes both ways! I wasn't too crazy for I hang with my dogs and to the top song took a while for it to kick in. It is a good song, when your compared to the 50's and Em's you need to come out with somethin phenomenal and I haven't seen it yet from O.Cruz.

He seems to be pretty lazy aswell. I could be wrong. He's quieter than a church mouse right now.

LOOK AT GLASSES AND JAY ROCK, I admire them because their album was to dropp a long time ago but they keep pushing and pushing. These dudes are hungry and they know sucess is just a touch away. We always get Jay Rock and Glasses exclusives. You see Glasses on Huey's video. Good LORDDD! I was happy for him. He killed it.

But, I don't feel sorry for O.Cruz. He can't totally blame the machine.

I haven't been impressed with anything he's done to be honest.

HE HONESTLY THOUGHT HE SUCCEDED ALREADY....AND HE WASN'T EVEN CLOSE TO CALLING IT THAT. ONCE YOU GET THER IS WHEN THE WORK REALLY BEGINS.

Hopefully now maybe BYI can sign with a indie and put out their material. I like what they are doing, just gotta keep pushing at this point.

Looks like the indi route is the way to go. We will see what route Cruz takes.

i believe it.
they really havent done much for BYI.  the BYI street team promotes more for the label than interscope does.  fucc it they should just go indi and release his album and make more $$$

Agree with you 100%!!! BYI is a record label so im pretty sure they can make something happen. Plus they got other artist also that they are promoting. The music game is just all fucked up right now but it will get better just like the economy.

Too bad I guess, but hardly surprising.

It's been quiet on the BYI front for a while now. Plus the single didn't really move units, so they likely thought that investing in Cruz (being a new artist) wouldn't profit them much.

to be fair his earlier mixtapes were good and had me checking for him at first.....but yeah, everything after the cruzifixion was mediocre at best and i never expected his album to drop....i was surprised they actually made a video for 'to the top', and given the push it had on the radio out here and on mtv3, not to mention his role in the 'dope boyz' vid, i thought he might catch on a little, but it never happenned....he has so many strikes against him, what with being from the west and latino, it just wasnt realistic given the current state of the industry for him to move big units, he flat out wasnt making good enough music...

He always came across as mediocre to me.I was surprised he had a major label deal to begin with
