Death Row is done with....right?
« on: June 16, 2003, 10:39:57 AM »
Am I the only person on the site who is about 98.5% sure that Death Row/Tha Row/Death Row's Back is never going to be successful again? This has probably been said many times, but so what, I want 2 see what everybody else thinks.
Even if Tha Row releases Crooked I and Kurupt's albums, they won't sell for shit....the only albums that will ever sell will be based on their old artists in some way...they will probably make a "DR's Greatest Hits 2, 3, and 4" and then start havin "DR's Greatest Hits - The Remixes" and throw their new artists on songs, completely ruining the originals. They will probably do shit like "2Pac - All eyez on him" and have the whole album as remixes, just so they can sell somethin with 2Pac's name on it.
Let's face it, Kurupt wouldn't sell when he was with DPG, but now that he isn't with them, and he raps a lot worst, who is really gonna buy this album? Crooked I has talent but we all know he won't sell, regardless of his promotion. Their best bet would be to buy hundreds of thousands of their own albums just to get it on billboard, because otherwise their new artist's albums will never crack the top 100 again.

Yeah I totally agree with u.  It is sad but true.  Fuckin Suge knight.  If he woulda stopped hating on snoop and dre and the other x-inmates for a minute to do something right with the label then maybe they would have a chance.  I really feel sorry for crooked I, cause that guy has a lot of talent, but suge won't let him be heard.

Yup. Tha Row's done for alright. Their albums will sell a few units to the loyal fans of Crooked I and (possibly) Kurupt and that's about it. Sure Tha Row's been on people's mouths and even in the papers a few times, but mostly because of the beefing with Snoop and all them ex-inmates and less for their business. Crooked I's had a few chances to display his skills on the radio and even on TV a few times but lately none of that's happening either. Him being a new artist to the mainstream audience means that they need to get a hype going for him, which hasn't happened. Thus, when and if Crooked I's album drops, the people who know of his skills will go and cop the album, but it's not enough to keep Tha Row alive. Crooked I's got mad skills on the mic, but sadly I don't think that he alone will be able to get Tha Row up and going again. They would need something more than just a prodigy. (And that something more most likely isn't Murder Inc's support, since it seems that label is going under too.)

Thas true..
Also, they probably LOVE when Snoop and DPG disses them...if it wasn't for the disses, most of us wouldn't even kno who Spider Loc is, and a lot of us wouldn't kno who Eastwood is. THey probably love gettin dissed just because it makes people ask "who is that?"

Nope you're not. But the fact is some Death Row supporters don't want to admit the truth.

eastwood doesnt really get involved in the beef, i dont think. hes talented though.

and people would probably know who spider loc is, they just wouldnt give a fuck. he's pretty fucking terrible. his rhymes are about as generic as nelly's.

I"m a fan of Death Row but it';s true. I hope Crook can get on a label that can actually blow him up...... It's a shame his talents are going to waste.
