Shady Records Tried to sign dead prez

[kottonmouthninja]

If you think cats on Indi's are broke, go to the South. Lil Flip, Master P, Baby, etc all were balling before they were major. dp has a following and a fan base. They're gonna sell consistent regardless.

even if Lil Flip didnt make it big he would be rich as fuck, you know how many people loved his shit before? he gots so many underground shit it aint even funny, then when he went mainstream he started to suck, everybody is crazy about Mike Jones, and Guerilla Maab right now in TX and i wouldnt blame them they thoed as hell.

It's a trip how much money they make in the South.

True... ive had love from dpz since i first heard em...great mucis...no compromise

dont they hate white people or something?

In my opinion they don't. To me, their main focus is on Whites, but not necessarily all of us, definetly not those of us who are not racist. Their main beef seems to be with the "system" which is run by Whites. Just my 2 cents.

It would be a wack move..
I would rather see a Banks solo, a Proof solo, than a Dead Prez album on Shady..

Plus, they couldn't hate on white people if Eminem produced the track.. (They're already ran by white people, so it wouldn't be much of a difference anyways though)

Independent artists aren't that poor. Doing it yourselves is the best way. Too many snakes in the game.

Dead Prez is dumb, bottom line.

I never knew you was white.

That's because I don't emphasize my race but a universal Brotherhood under One God.

Actually, it's because you're a wigger.

Well said NIK

damn...

Had to turn into a race issue didn't it. Oh well.

Like Lincoln said, Dead Prez are against the system created by white people, and do not hate every single white person in the world.

And signing for Shady or Bad Boy would have been a stupid move for them, their outlook is completly different to the ones expressed by both of those labels, and neither have any producers which would work well with Dead Prez. Out of the three I think Rocafella would have been the best option, although I can still see why they turned them down, but just think how dope Kanye West + Dead Prez could have been.

Anyway I think they have made the best decision by going independent and hopefully there album will achieve good success, as long as all the dedicated fans pick it up I see no reason why it shouldn't.
