I"m starting to think the Row's probably a front for gang or drug money, they make so many stupid decisions, It's pretty obvious they only keep around a fake roster, they don't intend on releasing any albums, they just want a selection of rappers around who will take a paycheck and not care if their album comes out.

Hmmmmmm, I never even thought of that. You got a point there, although I doubt that Crooked I & the rest of the artists would allow being fucked like that...

If Suge's bought them a house, and he's payin them 100 grand a year or so, they might be quiet.  Maybe they're just stupid and go along with it.  Why else would Suge never release any albums?  We already talked about Danny Boy, anybody can tell his album could sell.  What about ATL?  He wouldn't even release their album.  It's obvious to me, he's not trying to make money.

Ambassador Cash was homeless recently because they never paid his rent. And as for Danny Boy, he still hasnt signed a contract, he has an office at tha row though and he wasnt bought a house..

suge ain't puttin out albums because he knows they ain't gonna sell.  Crooked I and Danny Boy were all over the dysfunctional family soundtrack and that didn't sell shit.  If Crooked I dropped his album this august, even if it was a classic album, it most likely won't sell shit.  Nothin from the west sells these days unless it is dre or snoop, and fuckin snoop barely made it with his last album and that was thanks to the neptunes.  suge has totally hyped the shit out of crooked I, so if crook comes out and flops that makes suge  and deathrow look really bad, and dpg/dre will be laughing their asses off.  Suge don't want that, so he just keeps delaying this shit.  I wouldn't be surprised though if the next album out of dr is a kurupt album.  Even if it flops big time, what would piss off dpg more than their ex-homie puttin out a record on DR.  And suge would like that.

Damn........daaaaaaamn......thas some of the smartest out of bounds thinkin that I've heard in a minute concernin rap....that shit would make a lottttta sense...we all kno Suge and his clique/gang is like a black mafia, makin hits on people and shit.

Tha Row is so fuggin sad right now, I mean how do u diss artists who made u big, but then prove they made u big by still releasin their old shit...now they got Death Row classics pt. 2 comin out..just more proof they wish they could be at that level again.

Death row needs to advertise, they need top notch music vids that will get played, they need catchy singles, if Dre was still there dr would be at the top. DRE=$$$$

They need good promotion and advertisement. Bottom line. Just like the new Still Ballin single. Whatever happened to that? They shouldnt be doing what everyone else is doing (ie. mixtapes etc) Tha Row should be bringing fresh ideas. They really need to put out commercials about Tha Row underground, to get worldwide attention. They've had plenty of talent that's just been wasted.

Sneed
Valentine
ATL
Swoop G

They really need to forget about the past. Concentrate on making the best music possible for current artists and Suge should be dealing with working out a good deal to get the videos out there, to get the singles out there.

Bottom Line:

After Dre/Em dropped 50 ... Suge knew he couldn't compete with that ...
Crooked I album has been pushed way back (basically off the shelf) and will
never see the light of day ... It really let's you know who was the Musical Brain behind the music and till this day, Suge will never and can't compete with Dre on that ...

Also, Suge knows that he's facing an uphill fight and he don't want to see
that his label is through ... Once he drop an Artist (Crooked I or Kurupt) and
they don't do well (sales), he's finished ...  I don't that he's ready to see that
in Black/White.  The writing's on the wall ...

His catalog is all he has !!!!
