Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: eS El Duque on March 29, 2005, 03:19:12 PM
i dont know why people want dreams as a single...shits pretty stupid. he wont sell records with that single


RELEASE HIGHER


Look at green day, they went up 44% becuase of their new single
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: DPG4Life on March 29, 2005, 03:45:32 PM
i love dreams
and he even performed it at his concerts and ppl felt it...
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: LakersAlldaWay on March 29, 2005, 04:06:15 PM
higher would smash the charts...

this might be crazy but im thinking that someone or something is holding back Higher from radio play. remember when it was supposed to be the single, and it was for about a week, then got pulled? radio stations were playing it like crazy, then had to stop. after the album came out, i heard random songs off the cd more than Higher when i know for a fact that Higher would be the most impactful of all songs that have not been chosen as a single.

they need to release that shit somehow
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: 411 on March 29, 2005, 04:11:28 PM
i honestly dont like either, but i do think higher would have a better impact on his albums.........imo i would like "Start From Scratch" or "Like Father, Like Son" to be released as singles.......... 8)
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: shotu on March 29, 2005, 04:20:15 PM
well on tim westwood or w.e that guyz name is game said that the dreamz video is hot and they shuld win a vma for it but higher would be better but i think this single will help his sales for sure hate it or love it aint doin shiitt
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: The Watcher on March 29, 2005, 04:22:01 PM
they should release 'put you on the game' as the single, that shit is fire
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: Matty on March 29, 2005, 04:24:36 PM
i'll second that. put you on the game has gotten a great response when i've dropped it during a set. has a similar rhythm to in da club but faster - great party track.
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: GangstaBoogy on March 29, 2005, 04:39:37 PM
^yeah that too. everybody loves "Put You on the Game"

I know that they got Dreams playing out here in southern cali alot on power and also in San diego....Suprised they didnt push this sooner since Kayne produced it...

Maybe a certain Curtis Jackson wrote it, and is refusing to release it since it might intervene with his forthcoming release of the familiar "Outta Control"... :whistle:

5. Higher (J.Taylor, C.Jackson, A.Young, M.Elizondo, M.Batson, C.Pope)  :whistle:

I'll tell y'all the truth on how I see it....

Put you on the game - Definitely will be a club smash, everybody will be singin that shit

Dreams - Cool song that won't really be in clubs but all on radio if worked right, and I hear the video is epic so that would work

Higher - Really doesn't get a GREAT response from everyone. West coast fans love it, and some east coast n down south people like it too, but it doesn't have the same effect as "Put you on the game" when you put it on in the club, believe me.

Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: chronic01 on March 29, 2005, 07:00:23 PM
yea for higher u gotta love the hydros and shit
the eastcoast will def not be all over that track but put you on the game will be a huge smash
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: West Coast Veteran on March 29, 2005, 07:23:23 PM
"Dreams" for sure ain't gonna bring in extra sales.

He gotta pick a radio friendly single ("Put You On Game" or "Higher [even though 50 ONLY wrote the hook at least he ain't featured]"
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: kellyboy on March 29, 2005, 07:37:36 PM
yeah i agree, they should have higher as the next single, it'd be huge

I donno about Put you on the Game, but 50 DEFINITELY didn't write the hook for Higher. He did a hook on it originally but they took it off and Game did one.

^^ Then why he got writing and publishing credits ??

I don't know if they kept part of a hook he did or whatever, but Black Friday told me that 50 did a hook for it and that they weren't feelin it and Game did it over. So since 50's name is in the credits, maybe he did part of it, but the entire hook definitely wasn't his. I remember Friday say that the hook 50 did was sayin some more shit about bein "in the club" on it. That's why I had a feeling that the hook on "Outta control" may have been similar to the one on Higher that he did at first.

Higher is a bad ass joint, releasing that would gain a couple more sales

agree with u Jome. I know 50 has a huge influence plus this album was released under Gunit/Aftermath but who really decide to choose the singles?.If dre and Iovine are agree to release Higher , can 50 do really something against ?

Yeah man, put you on the game would be a good choice.
Title: Re: record sales.... game is ......
Post by: LyRiCaL_G on March 30, 2005, 01:58:55 PM
put you on the game would have been a sick club hit and start from scratch would have blown to simply beacuse its a great track, nuttin club about it, but the lyrics, beat and hook are sick, most people would dig that and it would also show game can come real to to people who dont know much about him

dunno what they doin with his album, it got more hits on it than anything i heard since last summer
