what happen to the fans????

So did the Hip-Hop Police get Lil Wayne or is he a fucking idiot? Refer to last weeks blog .Any who.

So Ghostface is a cry baby. To be fair I feel what he is saying and going through. basically saying that if you a real fan you would go cop the album and not sit in a forum and big up Ghost but then bootleg him with no intention of actually supporting him financially. Now I say he is a crybaby just because maybe the folks that copped his shit are really his fans it's not like he is majorly relevant right now. That's the only jab I am going to take a Ghost because at least he aint blame the label and say the label aint do this and that he went straight to the buying public. As an artist I dig what he is saying. There is a lot of lying fuck ass rappers who are like "I don't do shit for the fans" but to be honest if I didn't do this for the people I would just freestyle and not even invest in putting together a product to be purchased. As a person that does this for the fans I work hard to think and try to please them with my music. in ways there is disrespect when a fan bootlegs the work. In GhostFace situation that's a simple issue. I think what its really about is house cleaning .We all pretty much know that album sales aint the pocket of an artist these days but it is the determining factor of the artist future album budget, its critical to the artist reputation and perception, and lastly the album sales are the difference of an artist maintaining stay at his label. Face to me is calling out to the fans to show up with some great numbers or else he may not be in a position to put more music out. I think that's a different call versus the guy trying to make money. We can say well he gets show money but sometimes if the label pulls out demos on an album that lets them know where to tour the artist and if only 100k show up in sells well really that's maybe 3 cities worth a people.

It was long but that was my opener so make sense of it

What happen to the fans??? What happen to" oh shit so and so dropping I got to go get that shit"??? Sometimes I read online "when Wayne drop he gonna easy out sell 50 cent." Really? How is that possible if you don't go buy it? I hear niggas say "I download it to check it out to see if I like ima buy it". I hear "I aint gonna buy some shit I don't like". Let's go back to 1997 or 1998. When did we ever get to preview an album??? I remember when the strength of ONE single sold an entire CD (at that time they cost almost 20 bucks) if it sucked ole well if not you could listen to the record endlessly and this was without mix tapes and shit .What happen to the fans??? Did they all become rappers who think they know everything about the game yet are not successful at selling their own shit? Is that why they don't support or buy shit? What happen to the fans??? In this age more people know what they don't like than what they do like or is it just the internet. With everyone on the internet these days when im talking to guys in public their opinion is different of those on the web but when I turn around I know he is also a guy on the web. Are there still any fans??

Yall tell me where are the fans???

I'm an artist and I am a fan. I recently made it a rule to buy shit I like. I don't listen to it early I wait for the drop and spend money. I was big on D/L full album but backed off recently because I found my self not really listening to an album but judging it like I gave it a solid listen. That's the problem with the microwave generation. shit has to be hot in 5 seconds or it's deem wack. I will always buy a 50 cent CD, a TI CD, a UGK CD and others. And I will defiantly not download some shit that I know I wont like just to verify that I don't like it.

An additional note alternative music Maroon 5, the Gorrillaz, and such have become an additional flavoring. I think rather than having a bunch or rap cds some great some fluff I would rather have good to great albums from many genres exploring my options than filling my ears with fluff. I mean shit I have to also listen to niggas demos and critique it so rap at times can become exhausting to listen to

donald imus need a say more

Lets talk Don Imus, i find it quite bazaar how racist well openly racist America has become lately WOW! If you are under a rock Don Imus said "...they are some nappy headed hoes..." when speaking about the Rutgers lady basketball team. now something may be wrong with me i dont know but i cant say that he did something odd or out this world. He said what we all say . i mean i saw the chicks and i was like "damn them hoes rough" i mean thats usually the case with most lady teams but Rutgers just happen to look a bit more harsh than other teams. Are we getting to the point that folks cant say shit. well i mean white folks. This is not like the Kramer incident. Imus usually says fucked up shit but i mean are we so sensitive that we cant take it. If he would have said look at them tough headed hoes folks would still trip. he aint say shit that was considered a expletives except hoes . if he had said those tough head girls what would have happened.
on another note why the hell is Al sharpton every fucking where. i fucks with the homie but shit any thing with hint of black in it he is there . he should fall back on this Imus shit cus it int worth all the attention. i guess we needed a good way out of the war and Anna Nicole.
i was a bit embarassed that the rutgers ladys had a press confrence over i mean damn if this hurt thier feelings they obviously dont listen to the stadium crowd cus i know they say worst . better yet they proberly say worst than that to each other. Imus was having fun its not like he was trign to shit on them. Let him talk to the team let them talk to him. this shit could be handled civilly. then he gets fired. i tell you now white folks gonna be afraid to say anything. i think i would respect opinion news if they was so afraid to speak what they feel instead of using the sam exact language as the other stations. Ill be back later
