Anyone else tired of all of these albums that are supposed to be SOLO albums, yet have the same 10 guest spots as everyone else. What happened to the days of solo albums actually showcasing your ability as a solo artist? Whatever happened to only getting artists to collaborate with because they compliment your style? *sighs*..just one of the many diseases that plague the Hiphop scene currently.

I think that's a cop out - If you're a dope Hiphop artist, word of mouth means a lot. When you have the same artists featured on your album as everyone else - there's no point in purchasing that album when you can go purchase others with he same music on it - which goes into the subject of originality - not much of it going on at all..and that's because artists refuse to let themselves grow.

I DONT THINK ITS A COP OUT, CUZ WORD OPH MOUTH DOES PLAY A BIG PART, BUT PUTTIN OUT AN ALBUM COSTS ALOT OPH MONEY AND YOU CANT RISK PUTTIN OUT SOME SHIT THAT DOESNT SELL. YOUR VERY PHIRST ALBUM IS WHAT WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOU, AND IPH PEOPLE HAVENT HEARD OPH YOU, THEY STILL MIGHT BUY IT CUZ OPH OTHER ARTISTS ON IT. IM SAYIN I UNDERSTAND A PHEW PHEATURES ON YOUR PHIRST ALBUM, BUT YOU SHOULD CUT BACC AS YOU GO, UNTIL YOU CAN PUT SOMETHIN TOGETHER YOURSELF...ALL THIS BECAUSE OPH THE AMOUNT OPH CATS IN THE GAME, YOU NEED SOME TYPE OPH STRATEGY TO GET AHEAD NOWADAYS...ABA

The game is too cluttered by people who think like that. Nobody is going to buy your shit because you have 50 million guest appearances. You will never get a gold or platinum plaque that way. People who think otherwise played that shit the fuck out a while ago. Nobody has and nobody will sell respectable numbers because their album is cluttered with guest appearances. I will NEVER buy an album because of a name(s) in the tracklisting. And of the people who are stupid enough to do that, they are getting wise to it.

Until people start respecting the game and quit treating it like its no different than selling little $20 sacks of dirt weed to suckas, the majority of people trying to make this their bread & butter will remain little fish making little money. If they are that lucky.

Too many suckas always ruin a good thing.

i used to think like this till i heard The Jacka's album, then i realized it makes no difference if the guests are tight and fit well into the album as a whole

ALBUMS I MIGHT NOT HAVE BOUGHT IF NOT FOR FEATURES....

BUKSHOT
LIL CS

AND A LOT OF LOCAL STUFF...


THE THING IS,WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR NAME OUT THERE,YOU HAVE FEATURES ON IT....THAT WAY IF PEOPLE SEE AN ALBUM WITH THEIR FAVORITE ARTISTS ON THERE,THEY MIGHT GIVE IT A CHANCE..THEN YOU TAKE THEIR FANBASE AND MIGHT MAKE THEM YOURS....
