Title: Diddy signs Red Cafe...
Post by: The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES on April 28, 2009, 09:59:52 PM
Interesting......  Is this a good or bad career choice...  I'd say good, Diddy hasn't had a legit rapper to push with his money in awhile...  And whether you like it or not, Bad Boy albums are making it into the stores... So it is what it is...

Been a while since Diddy has created a serious buzz for a rapper on the label. He was on that South craze for a bit but yeah he has a legit MC from the East that got lyrics so I am interested to see what he can do. Mack 10 did nothing with this dude.

Step 1: use him as a ghostwriter

Step 2: give him the run around

Step 3: release his album but don't promote it so it won't sell much but get paid either way

Step 4: keep him locked in his contract till his buzz is completely gone

Step 5: release him and blackball him so he'll only be a mixtape artist.



I'm calling it now.

Cool I havent heard much of this guy outside of the song on Coach Carter soundtrack, The one with Mack 10 and was it also Glasses?, and the one on Grandmaster Flash's latest album. He sounds good and hopefully this will be positive and he wont sell out but he needs a mainstream profile to get that money!  8)

He's had Aasim sitting on the shelves for ages, he can spit his ass off but all he does is ghostwrite for Diddy, shits wack...

Red Cafe has had so many songs that had potential to be big hits but whoever he was with at the time didn't promote him enough... "Yellow Bottle", "Bling Blaow", "Diddy Bop", "Paper Touchin'", etc... I don't mind Diddy signing him, as long as the album is dope and it drops with the right promotion

but his new shit "Hottest In The Hood" is dope as hell, here's the remix that just dropped today

Hottest in The Hood (Remix)(feat. Jadakiss, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Oj Da Juiceman & Diddy)

I do hope Red Cafe gets the chance to release an album. "School Of Hard Knock" and "Dolla Bill" are my favourite tracks from him, both bang like a muthafucka.

Red Cafe is dope. Hope he does big things fucking with Puff. That 'Hottest in the Hood' remix isn't as good as the original, but Fab's verse was crazy.

Fabolous should stop staying that, sounds extremely gay..

Red Cafe is about as average as it's possible to get.. it's not that he's bad, it's just that he's so anonymous, he always get out-shined by the featured artist.

It's a joint venture.

He was signed to Konvict, but that label doesn't have a distribution deal.  Now that Bad Boy's scooped him up for a joint venture, Atlantic Records will be the distributor.

The album will be released via, Konvict Muzik/Bad Boy Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Group

EDIT: Actually, toss Red Cafe's Shakedown imprint into the above mix.  ^^^
