"Bum Rush the Charts" thing is...

What were they thinking and who thought of this?
Yes, I bought 3 copies of killer, because i wanted to support Strange and help with album sales to get some recognition, and its cool other fans have done this to.
But to ask us to go and buy numerous copies? wtf? Its cool that devoted fans want to spend their hard earned money and get your sales up, but when the only promotion you have at this point is a ridiculous attempt to up sales by "begging" your fans to buy multiple copies, its pathetic. I can just see this backfiring and all the retalliation and hate Strange and Tech are gonna get from people who listen to mainstream, want to check Tech out and see that vid.
Hate on me all you want, I support Strange and will continue to, but it doesnt mean I have to agree with their actions. Its hard to see your favorite artists and their label do
not so smart business moves. It like watching your favorite team play badly and make bad trades. i will still support them, but doesnt mean I cant scream and get pissed off a little.
Its aggravating,really. theres so much potential there, but bad decisions keep holding the whole Strange Roster back.
T.O., do you know how us fans feel about some of the decisions you make? Do you take into consideration any of our thoughts or opinions we express on this forum? I know you dont have to, and you could prolly care less about mine and others rants on here, just know that im not happy and a lot of your loyal fanbase has felt the same for some time.
You aint gotta agree with me, get pissed all you want, but it truly makes me mad to know that an artist that has so much potential, an artist that has inspired me in so many ways, an artist whose music has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life, prolly wont get the recognition he deserves and keeps getting held back.
Just my opinion, dont mean to come off as disrepectful or show hate towards anyone, just stating how i feel @ 1:30 in the morning. Im tired man

First and foremost, yes he does. You are taking this too far by acting like it's hurting you in some way to watch them make "bad" business moves. Yes, asking fans to buy more albums is insulting to the more intelligent and less-devoted fans, but will some people do it just because they asked them to? Hell yes, they will. And when they do they'll feel like stock holders in Strange Music, Inc. You can liken them to the kids in the crowd at shows wearing the Strange hockey jersey w/ the Strange dickie's shorts w/ the Tech N9ne undershirt w/ the Tech N9ne AF1's w/ the Strange flexfit cap.
If you don't want to buy more than one, it's pretty simple. Don't be one of those mindless fans that sits on every word they say and waste your money on something you're never going to use. Like it or not, these types of fans are a guaranteed income.

XD at the front page, that shit is gold. " Bum rush the charts ", fuck that shit how about you market your product effectively instead of making loyal customers fork up for your lack of business suaveness.
Because we're smarter than other artists fans, Tech will debut REALLY HIGH on the Billboard chart, thus further f**king up the industry.
Oh come on what is this, the stroke your fans ego campaign? Sales must be really going bad.

If Strange really wanted album sales to go up, they should give a bunch of people on their payroll some money, go out buy the cds boost your sales, take them back to warehouse load them up on the bus or the van or what have you then sell them on SNII tour. Then you've made your money, boosted your own sales and still haven't asked people to promote your cd more than nessacary.
Ya trying to get fans to buy more than one copy is fuckin dumb. Maybe if strange would've stepped up their business game, learn how to promote this shit, they would haven't this problem. No single, no video. They did a shitty job with MLK, I'm a Tech fan, but I didn't know that shit was coming out till a few weeks before it dropped, same with Killer. Strange has some issues, pushing back release dates, how do you think Ill Bill feels after they pushed back his album date. Then Kutts got pushed back. I don't know about strange anymore.
co-sign
tech said he will not pay to get played on the radio, if his music is good enough then people will request it and then it will be played
it starts with the die hard tech fans to start requesting it first then let it get some play, and hopefully people will pick up on it
its not like travis knows where the street team promotion is going, he has no idea whether the guy is going to actually put in work or sell it, or just let it sit
also has any one listened to ''beat you up''?
check techs verse

Yay! lol.
I just didn't want it there cuz wen I tell people to check out tech n9ne, they will probably go to his website.......and once they see that they might be turned off and not want to check him out....
....it's great music......you shouldn't have to do that to sell.....sooner or later people will see this is some real music...
