I think that Steve Rifkind is an abomination. WHen he signs artists on his label he is doing just like other record companies. He is buying the creativity and voice of the artist. Many of his artists were better as independents than they ever have been under contract with SRC/Universal. He has a new project and in it will involve taking advantage of hopefuls in search of a record deal.

Aspiring artists need to use myspace and other websites to market their music. This whole scheme that Steve and his band of robbers has concocted is just one more way to prostitute the living hell out of any artist. It is equivalent to a shrimper throwing out a net and catching all the shrimp, ducks, turtles, and every damn thing else for 400 square miles. This contest is just one more attempt by someone who has power enough to make others do his bidding and then he profits. If I had a son who rapped, Steve and no other record label exec would get hands on him. I would advise anyone to stay indpendent for as long as possible. Record labels will soon be a thing of the past. Technology is a bitch and I’m glad for it happening. Steve needs to go sit on his ass and make sure he ain’t got no shit on it. Artists and aspiring people need to step off of this latest endeavor by Steve Rifkind. A lot of the artists he paid good money for were worth way more than he paid them, way more. He paid one artist ten mill and if the man had stayed independent he would have BEEN another Universal. He would have been worth 50 mill by now.

It’s a good thing to sign in ma$e, just be honest his flow is a one man thing, only he knows how to do,what he do, when he do he is thing.
There are a lot of rappers who try’d to rap the same way he rap, but eheh he is tha original.
I’m glad for him and I hope he will even grow bigger than 1997.
I think He is hot I like he latest albums also welcomeback and Crucified 4 The Hood only the sound was not that good. but what wasn’t there will be here. Show the brother some love.

SRC just isn’t Loud. Loud had a superline up of street music. SRC doesn’t suck but I expected at least Jae Millz to be released by now. Banner is my boy, Akon is cool & Remy is good (though her album sucked!) but what happened to all the good music the man behind Loud Records put out. The Loud Alumni smashes his current SRC lineup to bits and pieces. This guy signed up Three 6 Mafia (before they became pop icons), Tha Liks, The Beatnuts & The Wu. Maybe I’m being too critical but SRC been up and running for years and really hasn’t made an impact.

I think Steve got the wrong “M” in the G-Unit stable, he should have re-signed Mobb Deep. Jus’ to prove Blood Money was not a flop. Check out Return of the Mac by Prodigy, with the right production (Alchemist)the Mobb is still “The Infamous”.
