		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately though, an album isn’t going to sell very well just because it’s good. Busta Rhymes’ album had beats and guest rappin’ by a host of hip-hop luminaries (even a few dead ones), and it still managed to sell less its first week out than Tony Yayo’s Thoughts of a Predicate Felon. The reason? Nobody liked its wack-ass singles.




are u on crack son?!?!?!Touch It was everywhere, every soul loved that song, especially the remixes!Yayos album sucked ass, no1 liked So Seductive.Its cuz the South is the onlything getting play, but more so becuz of all the iTunes shit and leaking.Shit like iTunes, Limewire, Napster, and all those uploading sites are killing sales in a whole.When was the last time a CD sold over like 900K in its first week?Back in the day, when MP3 shit wasnt around]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[first of all if you really want to be real about it ...clipse hasnt been out since 02.  Radio has changed since then.  DJs r no longer breakin records.  Its all programming.  DJs go into meetings with their bosses and tell them wht records they r felling. Spinning mediocre singles as favors is not gonna get u 2000 spins on the radio.  U gotta come wit undeniable hit records as well as a hot video to back you up...ie (young dro,Jeezy etc) The djs r not stupid. They know whts hot and wht will work moreso now than before. Sometimes it may take a hot video for them to jump on your record, but at least they admit it took a good visual to sell them on the product. Nowadays all labels have 6 priorities they r tryin to break. Mr mee too vs Bossy...Bossy , hot song for the ladies + hot video= Hit record.  Mr Mee Too, decent song + decent video= decent response.  Its that simple.
Busta rhymes, i think the layoff hurt him. He wasnt out there in movies to help cross promote his album, or just give him additional exposure.  Instead a tragedy happened tht unfortunately had the nation looking at him sideways. Not the publicity he deserved.  The album is by far his best, its unfortunate they cldnt take thier disagreements off his video set.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reason why is record labels aint doing shit for artists. They just assfucking them for they money... and unless you have own label distributed threw theirs you barely making money. think about it... if you&#039;re sign to a major label; they gave you a 6 figure deal... you gotta find hot producers and eats you up right there and then when they finally release it.. it better sell because you gotta make all the money back for the record label. You only make money touring. If you have your own label they give you a better deal up front and you spilt the profits 50/50. Reason why cd&#039;s aint selling because the people are getting tired of buying cds... and they only have about 2-3 songs good on them. Then the rest of the shit is gargabe. Then they spend all their money on guest apperances which makes it worse because you the artist should be able to do it on your own or have a couple of people backing you up. Not every single fucking song should have guest apperances on them. Make good ass music.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DMX still brings it--His energy is unrivaled by anyone who isn&#039;t Busta Rhymes..

X also said (and I&#039;m paraphrasing)--&quot;You got record labels trying to make artists. God makes artists. These niggas trying to play God!&quot;

Hyperbole aside, that&#039;s a helluva point.

Last Point on the Collabo Thing-- Touch It wasn&#039;t a great song, but as a fan of NY hip-hop, I loved hearing it. Old Heads would be alot more excited about Rap in general if more NY artists came together instead of beefing, cuz IMO, alot of the NY (I&#039;m including Budden in this) artists have their own style and swagger, and IF IT WAS DONE RIGHT, it could be a boost to everyone...

...even if it was Cam &amp; 50--if they did what they do, that shit would be catchy as hell.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;For one thing…nigga is a crackhead…he get arrested how many time for soem stupid ass shit?&quot;

^^^

i could be wrong, but i thought abusing crack cocaine made someone a crackead. i&#039;ve never seen dmx smoke crack and most likely you haven&#039;t either.

at any rate, though, the point i was making was say what you will about the guy, but when he speaks he makes sense for the most part. and that&#039;s more than i can say for many people who post on this site and most rappers in general for that matter...

btw, i couldn&#039;t care less if that nigga smoked a whole brick...]]></description>
