Title: Truth Hurts off the Math
Post by: Dedicato on March 06, 2003, 09:01:14 AM
Truth Hurts  is no longer on Aftermath. According to Universal Germany Shari Watson was fired by Aftermath. Which label she will sign on and how her future will look like is still doubtful. Afermathmusic.com is including Truth to the former artists now.

btw: Aftermathmusic.com comes back on Sunday March 9th

i think that really sucks. she could have put guest vocals for other people, made at least another album and done some things. its aftermaths fault for not giving her any promo. btw, i guess this means she wont be on rakims album now

Yes it is too bad for Truth Hurts. I don't think any female artist is going to succeed on aftermath. They just don't promote them. No offence to Brooklyn and Shaunta. Dre doesn't give a shit about em. He will probably produce like 2 or 3 tracks only. Hopefully Doggystyle records won't treat Latoiya Williams like that. She definitely got more skills than Truth.

Dr Dre just produces better with men.
He Scores & Receives his best acclaim, when he Work's on a man, over a woman. Check his track record it can't be denied....lol

Nahhh!! fo real tho, it's to bad Truth couldn't stick around.
It suck's when his own peep's and friends get no-love from Dre himself.....seeing as how he'll sell his beat's to everyone else minus your not from California or in his camp.

It's true that talent can't be deined, but For dropped peep's from Aftermath the stat's do not figure well. My personal favorites R.I.P. lp's at Aftermath are (it's a shame):

"King Tee"
"Hittman"
"Dawn Robinson"

Only sucess story I know of from a former Aftermath assocoate is Eve. (A Female)
danmm!! I think I see a pattern.

*(Dawn Robinson was already a star before Aftermath & King Tee was established, and on the verge of blowing when he got scrapped.)

Lets hope she continues to work with Quik, "Im not really lookin" and "Addictive" was the two best tracks on her album, IMO.

that's pretty shitty, all those interviews before her release she always said she was getting dicked around but the record industry and now that she's with dre, she had her head up...whoops!!!

wasn't really feeling her cd that much either. she wasn't ghetto enough to stand out like Nate and TQ and wasn't pop enough like brandy and whitney

Let's hope she dosen't stop making music...

And I hope Quik scoops her up and puts out a alubm on Bungalo or Euponic.

dre has no confidence in his artists...unless they sell really big quick...he just quits...i like truth and her album...just look at the past artists dre has dropped...no patience at all

i don't the album went platinum but gold they probably didn't make a profit from truth especially with that court case and the money they did invest. that'd be why they dropped her i think. plus the roster is getting too big for them to handle so thats why they have to get rid of them.

RIGHT ON....i thought aftermath did a good job in promotiing ONLY in magazines, there was no 2nd single and no tv ads

Damn... That's too bad... I digged her album. But it's true that she wasn't either ghetto or pop enough to succeed on a major level. But I guess Dre's got his hands full with Rakim's album, Detox, signing Cube and working with Joe Beast, Shaunta & them. And unless they do it in the same pace as 50's record, there's NO WAY Ice Cube drops this year. I'm not even sure he's signed yet. In XXL Dre said "It's not official yet." Shit is taking a looong ass time...

But let's not get carried away. So far we've only heard about Truth being dropped from the label. No use in speculating who's nxet.
