Yo interscope we got this thing right (thing right)

Its makin me think like (think like)

Its like fillin my heart and its makin me crazy

Just fillin my mind up with all of these maybes I'm

Trying to figure exactly what its like

to not be using ya brain its like

Trying to put my records on the radio dial is like (dial, dial)

Trying to figure out forget it look

It's really kinda hard to explain

How your lack of promotion been hurtin my brain

And how your promoters cant get a song released in time

And how your silent steps causin delays for my party starter rhyme

Maybe it's the way you release your singles (release your singles)

Or maybe its them other artists you promote (other artists)

Or maybe its them little things you don't do

Or maybe its just you (maybe its just you)

Maybe its your attitude

Maybe its your corrupted point of view (point of view)

Maybe it's the time you spent promotin (promotin)

Maybe we can keep these delays forever ( forever)

Maybe its your stubborn ways (stubborn ways)

Maybe its the golden plaque (golden plaque)

Maybe it's the way we blend together (together)

Maybe we should never do this music contract thing forever (forever)

Remember when we released that switch single the first night

That was the worst night

Right well I mean it was fun and all

Yeah that's true but you were busy with 50 cent and them

So it felt like karma and fate

50 and you Had formed a team

To keep people from the record of my dreams

But in the end I made friends with hope and destiny

And then well the switch single is history

But yo it wasn't easy though trust

Trying to turn you and me into us

My record label my promotions my best friend

From sony to Jive you blend right in

And I dug that

I can never imagine this Lost and Found passion I feel

I mean would have imagined the promotion would last and all

So when promotin eminem does something for you

Shh interscope I might just..

Maybe its your attitude

Maybe its your corrupted point of view (point of view)

Maybe it's the time you spent promotin (promotin)

Maybe we can keep these delays forever ( forever)

Maybe its your stubborn ways (stubborn ways)

Maybe its the golden plaque (golden plaque)

Maybe it's the way we blend together (together)

Maybe we should never do this music contract thing forever (forever)

I must tell you how I feel

Maybe I wish I'd never signed that record deal

Maybe my best friend

Maybe my homey

wouldn't believe in that

6 months between singles? Ohh yeah

Maybe maybe maybe

Maybe its your attitude

Maybe its your corrupted point of view (point of view)

Maybe it's the time you spent promotin (promotin)

Maybe we can keep these delays forever ( forever)

Maybe its your stubborn ways (stubborn ways)

Maybe its the golden plaque (golden plaque)

Maybe it's the way we blend together (together)

Maybe we should never do this music contract thing forever (forever)

Well if they developed it I reckon it eould be doable... the money from Hitch would be a boost, no?

I'm pretty sure they treat overbrook music and overbrook movies seperately.. I mean they had abt 5 artists signed to overbrook at 1 point..unfortunately they couldnt get 1 album out with there deal with interscope.. interscope has always cause will problems.. I would have loved to hear those jazzy jeff produced mc lyte tracks on that shelved album of hers 4 overbrook..

What label is left to go to? It's like pick your poison when you ain't trying to be a corporate gimmick, the only reason why 50 Cent and Eminem sell so much and the label puts so much into promoting them is that they do what Jimmy Iovine tells them to do, their sales don't decline 'cause they stick with Jimmy Iovine's formula and there albums all have the same concept to them that the kids just can't get enough of, Will wants to do his own thing and Interscope probably doesn't like that, just like Columbia too, they didn't like it when Will wanted made an ol' school rap album in "Willenium" so they didn't promote it the way they did "Big Willie Style" which seemed to be more influenced by Tommy Mottola than it was Will Smith, and they totally abandoned Will when he did "Born To Reign" which was experimental but could've gone platinum with the right promotion too, it's all a buisiness, Will was coming off of "Code Red"'s lackluster sales so he had to make it more radio friendly in '97 or else he wouldn't have got the deal to Columbia in the 1st place, it was just like when Jay-Z got picked up by Def Jam they had him to do something radio friendly so he could start selling too after lackluster sales of "Reasonable Doubt", I could at least say that it was good that Interscope let him do "Lost and Found" the way he wanted to do it, even though they ain't promoting it! :shrug: I got a good laugh outta this one though! :lolsign:

overbrook music is like 2 people.. I dont think they have the resources and I dont think Will is gonna just throw away money...

So that's why they combined with Interscope, but Interscope isn't doing anything, so that really doesn't help at all!! I think Overbrook could work alone if they had a few more people and worked as a team. That was a good parody Tim! It would be interesting to send it to Interscope and see if they respond.
