Come on now for real how many artist out there independent artist can say they sold over one million albums? Now that is good promotion for real dog. Hard to sell a million and get respect for it much love to Strange Music And Tech N9ne for selling over a million albums on Strange Music. Way over a million sold with all the artist together. NOW THAT IS GOOD PROMOTIONS
thats not good promotion for real dog. that is loyal fans supporting the music.

i actually do understand the no pay for play thing and its cool. They don't wanna force their music into the ears. If you like their shit, go out and get it.

its the fact that they dont put out videos at logical times, or drop singles that i dont understand

but... this shit has been covered soo many times.

Why should you not give away all the features before it drops? I highly doubt someone is going to read "Oh, Tech's got D-Locc Da Choppa on this album, I should totally check out the CD on the first day it comes out so I can read the back and see if he's got 50 Cent on there too!" Besides, the album releases one day, the features not revealed under your plan would be listed on the net before the day is out anyway.

Why should you bother doing a video for a single that you refuse to put weight behind and get it on the radio? I agree that the "No Pay for Play" concept is retarded. Singles on the Radio is advertisement, just the same as that McDonald's commercial during your favorite show. You pay to advertise your product to the masses, that's not forcing them to then buy your product, if they don't like it then they can simply tune out for the duration of your "commercial" before tuning back in to the one they like that will follow.

i mean.. i know what you are saying and i agree...

but i mean... if tech were to start paying now at this point in his career, it would seem like a reach for attention when he has stayed true to his beliefs for so long...

for anybody else, im with you though

Am I the only person that realized that the album doesnt come out for over a month? I don't know many artists, even mainstream, that promote an album for over a month. Just saying.

The first single from Before I Self Destruct will have been released eight months before the actual album drops. Now when I went to school, eight months was longer than one.

Word..'cuz 50's leaps and bounds ahead of Tech in the skill department...
Where did i say anything about skills. 50 is one of the last few artist who gets a real major push for his albums, games and what ever else he has. Tech works harder, sounds leaps and bounds better, but doesnt get half the recognition. Oh well hes still successful which most people cant say, and he loves what he does for a job.
