Admin Hero1 Posted April 26, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 haha this is interesting... A-plus: we had good sales..we just had serious creative issues with the label.. a lot of people dont understand..its insider information.. but we begged and begged to get off that label before no man's land.. because they came at us like "yo we're changing the structure of the label to a pop label and we want yall to be more like jazzy jeff and fresh prince on this next album.. literally.. literally i'm not even twisting words.. they sat us down at the same roundtable they had us at when they signed us and was like "yo we're changing **** over here so yall gotta do this or we gonna shelf your album" so we were begging to get off Jive for a long time and they finally let us get off a couple of years later so that album that came out no man's land was that what you wanted to come out? a-plus: well that was our response to do some jazzy jeff **** we was like we are doing the exact opposite and on top of that people was biting the dog **** out of our style from the first album so we couldn't come back with that without being all dated from the copiers so we were kinda thrown .. the one thing we did know was we were not doing .. nuff respect to fresh prince and jazzy jeff cause i'm a big fan of them from way back but thats just not us and we were like we are not gonna do that Jive were you guys happy with that album? I wouldn't say happy.. I liked it I wouldn't say I disliked it .. I would have rather made an album with the mindset I thought I was gonna have as opposed to dealing with you want me to do jazzy jeff and fresh prince that kind of ****ed up what we naturally woulda did next we were like either go pop or get shelved ..so we kinda made the album sound like that as a **** you finger to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Interesting...but not surprising. Jive used 2 be one of the premiere Hip-Hop/R-N-B labels. JJ+FP, A Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischief, Smooth, Too Short, R. Kelly, Nuttin' Nyce, Aaliyah, etc. Now look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
