he made some good points but i disagree as far as the cubes and dre's need to reach out and sign acts.....In my opinion why would you want a rapper to sign you, especially if they still trying to rap and put their own shit out...what kind of priority will you be then? like C-bo signing to buck....so buck sold some albums on someone elses label, that's suppose to mean he knows how to run a business? i think it is time to pave our own way..change the game...as you may notice labels are not profiting as much as they used to ( at least i would think) less avenues tp place your c.ds at.....shits going digital...record companies dont have a solid monopoly on that....Get out there make your product available in more then one format and readily available...gorilla marketing....too many rappers...producers..shit an artist should get a hundred serious minded individuals who will build an investment company together. everyone each year put in at least $1000...and promote..press up and everyone shares the profits and losses..we gotta think outside the box..not try and search for a time machine to take us back into time..the blueprint does not work anymore..
thas real shit but i think what he meant by that was atleast work wit some of our artists? why you fuckin wit cats on the east while we strugglin to build shit out here? i dont think he meant signing us but atleast working with us, someone who works with dre automaticcaly gets some buzz, after you get that buzz do your own thing but collaborations are somewhat important to get that push into the game,
dre can do alot for an artist whether we like it or not, just by him backing up your music people automaticcly wanna give it a listen
i agree with what he sayin on that point, you should be fuccin with your own people and tryna start some shit out here oinstead of basscily ignorin our talent
looks like dre wants to be the only person named when the west is mentioned
