before it gets releassed?
that way a brother still keep that ole school vi\be of poppin up at HMVs tuesday morning with a crisp 20 in my palms, and expectations in my head
*waits anxiously for that Quik to drop*
i havent heard anything, nothin from the album, nothin from the mixtape, not even fandango
-
i think you the only one
-
sometimes.. i cant remember the last time i did it though..
its hard to keep track of things here if i don't keep up with the internet rips..
quik is tight btw :)
-
I NEVER did that
-
I would but it's usually not possible. My homeboys or whoever will always have it and be playin it somewhere so it's like damm, no point for me to not play it. Sometimes, if nobody else has somethin and I don't see it on the net, I won't try hard to find it
-
I still do that. The last CD I did that for was The Documentary and before that it was The Fix.
-
man that documentary broke my heart.......i was so disappointed......
i dont do it for everyone...just certain artists get that treatment
-
I like to do that, its the best, but i havent done that in years cuz people will always play the songs around me or keep sending me them till i just give in ;D
-
thats damn near impossible. the song is either all over the net, or on the radio, or someone i know will play it in the car. the closest thing to that was with "2001". the only songs I had heard from the album was "Still D.R.E." and "Forgot About Dre".
-
im gona do the same for the DPGC album.....aside from Push Bacc wich came out awhile ago, I havnt listend to anything they've put out......
-
i try to but its just all over the net or something
-
lol/./.motherfuckers what kinda excuse is "its all over the net"
im on wcc every day., i see the threads, i see the links, i just dont click
-
well i havent been able to DL the new quik cause some motherfucker keeps blockin that shit in the hook up spot and im too lazy to DL it from IRC cause of the long ass queues, so i guess ill wait and cop it
OH and how the fuck have you not heard fandango, that songs been all over the place the last few months, but then again you live in canada
-
i dont listen to no radio.....not that it would play it anyway

im not anticipating quik but you are not missing much on fandago. maybe the cd will be better
but i do that on the turk cds because hes on a label that is too cheap to do videos or release singles
-
I try to.
-
I mean I assume he isn't talkin about the singles...of course he'd hear those. He probably just means the other songs that pop up on the net before it comes out.

naw, u cant do that shit no more. Way too much business and politics in it now and days. You buy an album, and its a great chance that its only like 2-3 tracks worth listening to. Ive been burned too many times. So now I burn before I buy. They gets no dough from me unless the shit is quality: For example, terrorist threats, man vs machine, the way I am, the new testament, paid the cost to be the boss: all i bought w/o really listenning to the albums, and wish I never did. Now, albums like R&G get downloaded, and stay downloaded, so I can burn the 2 songs I like, and bestbuy can keep the rest of the bullshit. Or in cases such as M Vs M, what was dowloaded gets erased, and bestbuy can keep all the bullshit along with the next album. But if I downlload and its tight, then it gets copped like in the cases of the documentary or the new quik. That way good music gets rewarded and I keep from being pimped from the industry

im the same way with this new Quik album... ive heard Fandango 100 times, but ive only heard ladies & thugs and black mercedes one time each... i cant wait to hear the whole album in full on the 12th... peace
-
man thats nearly impossible for me to do...i get to tempted to listen to it early
I might do that for Detox though...actually go into the store and buy it and have only heard the single. But nowadays Power starts playing stuff from leaked albums 2 weeks before they come out so thats another thing that spoils new albums. There is nothing like that feeling of buying a new album and then blasting it in the car.
-
I would but its not possible, someone is always playing something
-
everyone who hasn't given trauma a spin yet is in for a real treat. real highlight of the year.
-
I prefer to wait although as of late I haven't been doing that as much because you'll never know when you'll be disappointed. Off of Quik's latest I've only heard Fandango & Black Mercedes but I'm waiting til the album drops before I hear the rest. When Detox drops other than the lead single I don't want to hear the rest until I have the album in my hand. I used to buy albums without a listen more frequently and a lot of artists imo have lost that cop without checking it out first status.

Great post.
-
I try to do this but its hard. The only albums I have done that for this year is "Documentary"and "R&G" (which I was very disapointed at, was hopin' for alot better) I only heard "Westside Story", "Higher" and "How We Do" on "The Documentary" just cuz they were all over the radio. And on "R&G", I only heard "Drop It Likes Its Hot". But other than that the temptation is usually too high and I give in. ;D
-
I did that (for as far as possible) for The Documentary, Street's Disciple, The Massacre, Be and Late Registration this year. However, because of all the bootlegging and mixtapes the songs appear on, I still heard
5 of The Documentary (Westside Story, Hate it or love it, Higher, How we do & Where I'm from)
2 of Street's Disciple (Bridging the gap, Thief's theme)
3 of The Massacre (Candy shop, Hate it or love it remix & Disco inferno)
4 of Be (Be, The Corners, The Food, Chi-City)
2 of Late Registration (Diamonds from Sierra Leone & Diamonds... remix)
All in all, it seems kinda impossible to me these days to not hear the tracks of a highly anticipated album in advance. At least, I'm not even that hard trying to... You can't escape turning on the tv, seeing Diamonds getting video play.
