All that money and you still cant drop your debut, lolr
If dropping a song featuring Kenrick,2 Chainz, and Drake aint enough to get u a release date I don't know what it's gonna take
nikka pay attention. His buzz isnt the reason why he dont have a release date. He produced songs on the album and he didnt get sampling clearences for them
That's a smoke screen...he's not gonna say "ohh my album aint dropping bc the record label feels my buzz aint big enough"
Now when I say buzz I don't mean the internet, I mean radio spins!! This shyt aint dropping till he got a song doing steady numbers on the radio.
shyt went from dropping on 9/11/12 to Halloween to now it's 2013
When albums get pushed back like this it's never something as simple as samples being cleared
Drake had major sample clearance issues and his shyt got pushed back a month.
If it's sample clearance issues why not drop in the fourth quarter?? Why is he dropping a mixtape if it's just sample issues?? If it's sample issues and the shyt aint dropping till 2013 why drop a single with so many heavy hitters right now?? It's all good breh but hey while your reading this I got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell u
Thing about samples is you have to deal directly with the people behind it. Ya feel me. Its a different scenario with each sample So if a mothafukka is being stubborn about it, it will definitely push things back. I think artists need to start handling all of this shyt WAAAY before a release date is even announced.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Gives him time to take 2Chainz off of "Problem" and have Drake do the entire hook.

This is what happens when you jack your entire style and sound. When you have to work creatively and actually make that good shyt, you come up short

i dont see where the hate comes from, he's obviously experiencing difficulties in sample clearances and label politics and so in the mean time he's dropping a mixtape to keep his fans happy, ill be looking forward to it
I live in NYC as well and what song is it that u speak of getting steady airplay?? Maybe IM not listening to the same station. IM not talking about DJ's playing his songs during their mix sets...IM talking about in rotation. This is his home town so if he's getting this little spins here imagine elsewhere.
The label was ready to roll on 9/11/12 when they dropped "Goldie" but it got luke warm reaction so it's back to the drawing board. The label needs to see spins bc having a following on the internet doesn't mean people are gonna buy the album. Labels don't wanna just drop albums so u can continue to sell out your shows and make a living while they end up fitting the bill bc u didn't sell records. That is unless they got u on a 360 deal in which part they gonna
off everything including shows...being that he had alil buzz when he signed (or so they say) probably means he had leverage enough to not have to sign a 360 deal. So the record label wants to position him in the best possible way b4 they drop that album.Again if it's just samples issues why is he dropping a mixtape?? Normally u drop a mixtape for buzz! Especially when u drop one right b4 the album it's bc u had enough cutting room floor material and songs u couldn't get clearances for to fill up a mixtape.
