First off i’m not a Soulja Boy hater. I respect dudes grind to make it where he is and his music isn’t the worst, even though it lacks substance. Cats need to realize hip-hop has always balanced dance and poppy music with shit of more substance. Public Enemy and Kid N Play co-existed as did NWA and Hammer. So Soulja Boy and lets just say for arguement sake, Nas can both exit in hip-hop imo.

I think if dude put that song with Justin Bieber on the album he woulda sold more. Dude was def trying, he knows he needs to grow with his audience, hence the attempt at the harder-edged sound on the joint with his homey 50. But not for nothin, its his 3rd album. Hip-hop fans are fickle. Kids that were fuckin with Crank that are now a few years older and into Drake and Nicki. it’s just the way it goes no hate.And even though he had the major label behind him, its probably just his time to slip a bit in popularity.

Now Spitta on the other hand is on an indy with that DD172 situation. They press and distribute less albums. Dame and him arent expecting to push a shitload of units. He makes records for his fan base: internet heads, New Orleans niggaz and artsy pothead NYC hipsters. The only song that even remotely resembled a single on Pilot Talk 2 is Michael Knight. But It’s dope music. Lazy smoked out vibe and rolling music. Some tracks barely reach the three minute mark. Spitta likes being able to put out whatever he wants without answering to anyone. He also pretty much has his own in-house producer with Ski Beatz, who’s shit is dope as fuck by the way. And the nigga is eating a bit off tours and putting out music frequently, ( next year they are supposed to drop Muscle Car Chronicles and Pilot Talk 3). I think what him and Dame are doing is revoluntionary, they are going against the grain, against the whole music industry model and I can see them being real succesful for it by taking those chances. After all Dame is a risk-taker ( any good business-man is) and it paid off when they started Rocafella unconventionally. Niggaz need to watch these dudes make moves.

Shoutouts to both Spitta and Soulja Boy but yea considering they sold the same, would you rather be wit Interscope who had some kind of marketing push and advertsing behind Soulja Boy’s shit or Dame and Curren$y who put that record out pretty quick, are going to make $$ off shows and who really just have to cut Def Jam some guap for the distribution, before they make a profit?

Easy decision to me.

‘Airborne Aquarium’, ‘A Gee’, ‘Michael Knight’ & ‘Flight Briefing’ are good songs on ‘Pilot Talk 2′. Ski Beatz gave son some good music. I’ve seen Curren$y on the ‘net just as much as SB, so let’s drop that excuse. A lot of y’all don’t buy music ANYWAY to push Curren$y’s #s up even if he had a J.Cole press machine behind him.
