Post by: Jaydc555 on July 28, 2009, 12:19:47 AM: That isn't because of obie its because Jimmy iovine has no interest in any artists besides em 50 and dre on the label

The idea that every artist can be sell as much as em or 50 at the time of their peak is pathetic. You got to adjust your costs according to the popularity of said MC. I'm still convinced not releasing the music is the most damaging affect on a label and an artist.

That has nothing to do with Obie or his sales. Labels are extra nervous about breaking new artists these days because it is super difficult to sell artists that don't have an established fanbase of their own. Even Stat Quo who had both Dre and Eminem co-signing him couldn't get his album out.

I think not. Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, Del, Souls of Mis, the entire Hiero crew, Locksmith and Left, Dan the Automator, E-A-Ski, Andre Nickatina, Zion I, Planet Asia, The Grouch, Living Legends and a shitload of other rappers I don't have time to make a list of. Get off the tip.

Post by: Jaydc555 on July 29, 2009, 12:24:36 AM: Exactly your just sucking off your own city.I'm looking at it subjectively.Everybody in the bay fell the fuck off and seem more interested in putting out bullshit albums to make money then actually making good music.Get off your own areas nuts you sound dumb.They couldn't even strike while the iron was hot with the hyphy movement now that scene is dead and their back to putting out bullshit.
