Where his buzz at? Yall know shyt gon flop right?
You act as if Q had a huge mainstream buzz to begin with. His core audience is still very much anticipating his album. They're going to have to push another single because of the delay though.

Dude said he's finished the album and it was sent to Interscope for mastering. Only thing holding up the release is sample clearances.

Asked this in the other thread:

What's the deal with samples? Have they always been this hard to clear but we just didn't have as much social media to know an album was "coming" so we didn't realize the pushbacks? Have older artist just become more uptight with letting their shyt be sampled? Or have record labels stopped giving a fukk about fighting these battles/doing it early in development? Or are sample issues simply a reflection of smaller budgets?


I know all these coli A&R/street team interns gotta know

it depends on the artist, some are willing to take a check for a agreed upon fee and are easy to contact. some either want the entire publishing points or are impossible to contact

Most artist don't own their music
people by artist's songs so they can make money off them, but the thing is the budgets at their for projects anymore, and I'm sure these people are gonna
to clear the samples for the low

I am neither of those things but my guess would be that back in the day nobody gave a fukk about clearing a sample because of how many records were selling, muthafukas would just deal with it when the sampled artists would come asking, but nowadays you got washed up artists taking up and coming artists to court for sampling on MIXTAPES so labels are more careful.
