that sucks. Bad business move too - the single Knoc is gonna be tired as fuck by June.


I'll just have to bump the promo for a little longer i guess.

I was surprised to hear "Knoc" was #3 on the Top 8 @ 8 here in Houston. I never listen to the radio so I didn't know it was popular here. Anyways I fuckin' hate that push back shit.

If this is a well known west coast artist like kurupt delaying his album for hype then its a good move but Knocturnal just doesn't have that hype to him yet. This was a bad move if you ask me. Now most peeps who know about him through the radio(unlike us) are going to forget about him by June.

Damn Iam pissed >:( >:( >:(

This was the album I was really anticipating so far this year. >:(

Hehe Makes Me Laugh This

Buuuuuut...

Everyone Who Has A Knoc MP3 - Be It The Single, The Sampler Or The Advance Is To Blame For The Push Back

Knoc Wants New Tracks On It So To Do So Its Been Dropped Back To Electra's Next Release Block

IMO Its All Good, Yea Fair Enough 'Knoc' Will Be Tired By June But A Dope Second Single Could Cause The Album To Blow Up!

Lets Wait To See How It Unfolds


peace

The album is pushed back maybe cuz he's in the studio right now recording more songs.
14 aren't enough for a rap album.

Man, this has been waitin' to happen. Since when have albums been released on the day that was first announced? They're "pushed back" every time. It just some kinda marketing trick. Genesis, Chronic 2001, Devils Night, The Great Depression... All of those were "pushed back". Buildin' the hype, tha'ss all.

Post by: Youngster323 on March 26, 2002, 02:26:16 AM
yea difference between The Genesis , 2001, and The Great Depression album is that those albums were anticipated by lots of people unlike Knoc's Landing.

For crying out loud people in L.A dont even know who knoc is!!

yes and people still dont know who Knocturnal is. Trust me.

LOL right on player. Even though Knoc is getting hype on west coast websites and such, I think the majority of people on the streets either havent heard of him or dont think hes all that.

maybe the delay will be a good move, BUT they need to drop a huge second single. Maybe LA Nite N Day or the timbaland track?
