SoundScan-Clown's Vs. HipHop Head's

[UK_FTW]

The Reason is full of people with the most extreme opinions I've ever seen...

Either its sales mean nothing or sales mean EVERYTHING...
Either its completely artistic or completely sold out...

When will people understand that there's a balance to this shit...

Like when people mention some no name underground rapper and say they're so much better than [Insert popular mainstream rapper here]...Do u realize your opinion is no different than someone who says Gucci is the best rapper alive? Its just the opposite extreme. It takes no more skill to make music that is so personal and unique that it appeals to a minimal audience than it does to completely sell out and make corney cliche shit just to get sales.

Real artists have the ability to express themselves artistically AND appeal to a broad audience. Thats the intangible. Thats what sets the great artists apart.

This explains why millions of people support Insane Clown Posse and why they have a cult following of juggalo's.

SMH @ more rappers not wearing make-up when they see it might actually work.

 

[bankrupt baller]

dont you guys know sales only matter when discussing jay z because jay z said so...

 

[Treize117]

not hardly a balance. Far from it.

Or else, the most conscious, intelligent, educated, deft-rappers ------wouldn't be treated like kryptonite, by....Record Labels, Radio, Cable Video Channels, Pop Culture Endorsements

Music contained powerful messages, long before the party scene took over it...and to silence that intellect now, to quiet those educational rappers now, to black-list them from mainstream commercial music now, is eerie.

Strategically-brilliant, but still eerie. People who control the music industry DO FULLY UNDERSTAND the powder keg that would be released...if they started signing conscious, educational and intelligent rappers, to record deals....if top-notch Producers were to see that, and start linking up with conscious rappers.

That would equal putting information, or power, in the Earhole of Influencable Youth;

Regarding that truth, the Caucasian-Jews have said "not on our watch, not while we control this music industry!"

I didnt say there was a balanced representation of artists in the media. Thats a completely different subject.

My post was aimed specifically at those sayin "this artist is better than this artist" because of one specific feature.

There's more than one aspect to evaluate an artists career on, is pretty much all I was tryna say.

Yet another ridiculous thread. But aye keep dropping "knowledge."

[gum989]

This thread isn't about ICP or Rakim, it's about Eminem. Read between the lines. BTW - congrats to Em' on a big first week! Hate is for...

 

[Skeratch]

Rakim has never dropped knowledge like ICP did on "Miracles."

Close thread.

That little red rectangle underneath your name means you have negative reputation...how did that happen?

I can respond to your post because I know you are neither an Emenim Stan or one of these swine-eating weirdo's who cant read between the lines.
The premise of this thread is self-explanatory it has nothing to do with "knowledge' but everything to do with observation.

One strange individual actually said that record sales are based on skill & talent, I tried to inform him that skills and talent are just a few factors that contribute to album sales, but their are other factors that those close to the industry overstand better than the average swine-merchant on a hiphop forum.

You my brother and I love you, I never want to be "ridiculous"..this isnt a "LiL B", "Stan worship" thread or a "Gay Lyric thread, its my observation and opinion.

Really?!?!? They've dropped more albums and gotten more sales....but nothing like this.......[video=youtube;XJ8g4FCNYtQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ8g4FCNYtQ[/video]

Naw, I was being deliberately stupid. Miracles was wack and so is ICP.

The Microphone Fiend could obliterate ICP's entire catalogue with one line.

That song by itself can obliterate many other hip-hop/rap catalogues besides ICP.

Very true.

Rakim is a legend.

 

[just.might.b.ok]

fucking sales, how do they work?

And I don't wanna talk to a statisticianist

Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed

Maybe its me, but sometimes i dont agree with the approach. Trust me, i get what you're saying. But does every thread have to come off this way? Its obvious that you're a smart dude, and i respect your opinion. All your threads get a good amount of responses, so if it works it works. I'm probably just coming off as a hater...lol...

I never noticed the reputation thing before, and really dont care about either. Thanks for pointing it out though.

[genocide_cutter]

I like ICP but lets get real rakim is the best rapper ever

 

[Fazeem_Blackall]

it is kind of funny how HipHop has went full circle as far as sales are concerned...
