Turntable Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Why arent Ghostface and Styles P selling a lil more at least? And Fat Joe, Clipse, Lupe.. What the hell is going on? I mean, even G-Unit and The Game arent selling that good. It's a lil weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 The whole commercial side of Rap and R-N-B is pathetic. It's embarassing. It's fake and it's uninspiring. While i think Wu-Tang is good (tho' i've never bought an album), this is the 1st time around i really started 2 care what Ghostface has 2 say. Maybe it's cuz he's getting better...but i think it's cuz everything sucks so bad. Nobody really cares about Styles P...maybe longtime fans. I don't dislike Fat Joe, but his new single sucks. All that dirty south stuff sucks. The young fans are out there eating it up, but they don't buy that many albums. Hip-Hop heads would buy the albums, but they are older and less connected 2 the music that isn't getting any airplay. The commerical side of music has just gotten unbarable. Just now i took a long shower and had 2 turn the radio 2 an oldies station cuz the local Hip-Hop/R-N-B station played 3 crappy songs in a row with no hope of a good one coming on. Even R-N-B is getting watered down. I dont' understand why radio and video overlook established artists who have already had success in the past 2 give shine 2 this untalented new losers. It's no mistery 2 me. 10 years ago i said that the commerical side of things were dying. For a second it got good but it quickly got worse than b4...and here we are.

Admin Hero1 Posted January 9, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 1998 was a big year for hip hop.. all the old school artists of the early 90s late 80s etc put out albums.. Slick Rick/public enemy/queen latifah/brand nubian/etc etc and basically they all were commercial failures.. since then record labels have refused to sign these artists even if they've had 3 platinum albums :word: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
