It's laughable how some of you "ASSUME" these underground rappers are broke. Trust me, they are anything but broke. It's not about what you sell, it's about what you sign. 90% business 10% everything else. As an artist myself, I know this. You guys think just because these dudes are on a major...
Exactly LOL. And according to them, nobody knows or cares about certain rappers, that they swear are bums or didn't amount to anything. Not true at all. A lot of people know who these rappers are. Everybody has some form of internet or technology to look these rappers up. They just don't make an...
Hip Hop might have advanced or evolved (as you put it). But that doesn't mean we have to accept these wack ass rappers that's popping up everywhere. Yes, we had them back in the day. But, they did not overshadow or overrun anything. For every Sugar Hill Gang and Kid N Play, there was a public...
It depends on what you mean by impact. Fame doesn't equal impact. Just like fame/record sales doesn't mean you're rich or successful. Honestly, I wouldn't say some of these dudes didn't have impact, or don't have impact. Trust me, they do. They have a whole other demograhphic they touch, that...
The irony of it all is, the fans have the nerve to question the rappers life and character. When the fans themselves are more than likely the fakest thing talking.
Why are you even listening to the people here? How come you can't listen for yourself, with your own ears, and develope your own opinion? Anyway, the INTERNET exaggerates how bad Jadakiss albums are. They are average rap albums. Not bad, not great. But inbetween. But I guess people get...
These rappers can't release albums, because they have no control over that. Besides, the business has declined real bad. No more music outlets in terms of video and air play. Labels are not shelling out any dollars for albums, because a big portion of their sales slumped. It's a lot of reasons...
Why don't you say that for all these "popular" rappers that are everywhere on the radio and TV. They're flopping too, doing the same numbers as the bum rappers y'all diss. Don't act like they aren't just because you see them everywhere. They ain't selling nothing either. So I don't know why you...
I don't have any thoughts. It's not like they're going to magically blow up and be huge, just because they signed there. Yeah, they may be talented, they may can rap or whatever. But that doesn't mean their status is going to change just because they sign to Shady. People really need to get...
Tru Life is in prison on a first degree murder charge. So it's safe to say, he won't be making albums for some time now. As for some of the people on the list, nobody's checking for them anyway. Not even their hometown. Jae Hood (was that a joke LOL), Jae Millz. Some of these folks people have...
Monica's label admitted that if they had not undershipped her CD (because they thought she wasn't going to sell), she would've beaten Justin and gotten the number 1 spot. And besides, not being number 1 doesn't mean she lost to anything. Hell, most artist who are bigger than she is can't even a...
