Has Someone Ever Tried As Hard as DJ Drama Did To Promote Willie The Kid & La The Darkman?

Lord Knows he tried

Picture being TI, Wayne, Jeezy etc at the top of your game trying work new material but the catch is you have to put up with two guys you want nothing to do with getting placement on your shyt

 

[King Ming]

although, alotta niggs ate good off hood's flow. he just never had the it factor and when his watch fell apart on that b.e.t. red carpet, it was a wrap.

The sad part is Willie The Kid was NICE! But he got that Erik Watts in WCW 92 stink on him, pushed way too soon too fast so never stood a chance.

To be fair they're both nice, I mean La did his thing (sorta) in the second half of the 90s, ("Devil In A Blue Dress" still goes). Willie The Kid did the obscurely titled and visually framed projects a la Griselda before that became something remotely popular...

 

[Guvnor]

Willie is dope and LA is actually solid though. It's not like he was putting bums on their projects and they did their thing imo.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Did you guys know LA the darkman did a horrorcore song with ICP and Vanilla Ice?

 

[Unknown Poster]

La The Darkman is ill though...but yeah if RZA couldn't push him in the late 90s...Drama couldn't either and they were both at their respective levels of fame

Willie was dope

I miss the mixtape era its a damn shame most tapes aren't on streaming services

I mean they asked him to host their tapes, quid pro quo. I used to hate their songs on there but in hindsight LA the dark has a quasi classic album and is a very good Wu affiliate.

Whereas Willie is extremely dope as well. Just the way drama was promoting them was wrong and didn't fit their respective styles.

Yeah. He clapped his entire career away when that bezel fell off.

I do remember something about this.

As far as the topic, weird thread. I get the point being made but what is he supposed to do....not promote artists he likes?

Fred.
