how about snoop signs crooked i or bishop lamont and stop fucking with these washed up ass niggaz from the early 90's
lol what r u? priority spkesman? no1 is buyin music in 2010, specially nothin old, dat's been re-isued 6 or 7 times already.. re-issuin in new formats (included dvd, new artwork etc) usually works, but the 7th times is the last time.. trust me
the compact-disc is dead as dead can be, and will cotinue to die within the next 2 or 3 years. mark my words.. it wil live on a few more years, in parts of the world tho. like Japan, and parts of Europe...
come on now, jimmy-boy i get the impression dat ur just tryin to find minor spelling errors in my previous writings, as compensation for lack of evidence in what u invalidate. who gives a shit about a "re-issue" or a "re-re-issue"? the bottomline is - u understand what im talkin about, when i bring up the word "re-re-issue", dont u? fine, great.. when i write "ho", instead of the encyclopedia-published word "prostitute" - u would ultimatley STILL understand what the fuck im sayin, correct? we are not wrting personal handletters to each other, youngster - no need for perfect grammar on a westcoast-hiphop forum.. (bonus-trivia: bytheway, the word "re-remix" does exist, and can be used) Yes, great, it's "movie music" but the fact remains it's still the same fucking songs they put out and people still bought them.so?ur not makin any sense. bad boy put a few of the songs of the GH-collection wit Big, on the ost for the biography-movie. should they NOT put those songs on the ost, just because they were on a compilation dat came out 4 or 5 years prior to that? or what? do u feel like they are repeating themselves too much, if they do so? and the movie wasn't made by Badboy - badboy did the ost - TWO different things. badboy are just supplying the ost to a movie not created by badboy, simple as dat - it's usually not up to the recordlabel to re-arrange the tracklisting of the ost, if the movie it's based on is not theirs to begin wit.. Evidence of what? I'm sure I can find lots of albums in the used bins at a record store that labels are still actively pressing up. Even older albums that aren't being re-issued are still being pressed up and shipped out to record storesthe evidence is, if u are lookin inside the 2for1 or 3$-bins at ur nearest recordstore - a bigger percentage of those records u see, are re-re-re-re-re-issues -- hence, the evidence is: pressin up records for the millionnth-gazillionth time is NOT and will NEVER be the best moneymaker for a recordlabel, like u (for some reason) implied earlier
thing is tho, u implied dat it is the biggest cashcow for a recordlabel to re-issue material - within short periods of time. and dat is false.. if Priority records re-issued cube's first album back in 03 or 05, there is no point in doing so again only a few years after. and obviosuly dat is why that specific record wasn't on snoopy's new schedule wit re-releases (for example). bottomline is, re-issuing serves it's purpose every few years, but to re-use the machine over and over again is pointless, and i dont feel like i have to dive into it dat much to prove anythin to u -if Ice Cube was re-issued just a few years ago, there's no need to re-produce any new versions of that record in 2010 - because the date isn't expired and the label isn't pulin anythin back off the shelves and/or the available records from dat shipment hasn't thoroughly been sold. if copys were produced back in 95 however, there's a big chance dat the record might be good enuff for the re-creation makeover.. There's a reason they keep throwing out compilations instead of new artists or projects full of unreleased songs from established artists.simpleold music sells, but only so - every now n then, and it doesn't generate the biggest money - the main objective for every recordlabel has always been to capitalize off somethin "in the times" and/or "new" (even if the times are bad for breakthrough-ground for new-music), and as far as "re-issues"..u can think of 'em, as an added percentage in winnings - "the greatest hits"/"re-issue"-module will never be a blueprint in $-generating for ur standard and typical recordlabeland if ur ideal re-issuing recordlabel-world would exist, then new acts wouldn't get signed at all (which they obviously still do)
