he's been done for over 15 years already though![]()
Another thing I don't understand: Wu is still huge in Europe and has inspired a whole generation of kid producers who are making grimy, 90s style beats. Yet none of the Wu has ever reached out and gotten any. These are kids making beats off their computers who would LOVE to give tracks to their idols.
Hell there are plenty of producers like that in the US too. There's no excuse for bad production in 2013/2014 brehs. Yet Rae out here accepting wack to average soul loops from the first cats who hit him up on twitter. Dig deeper breh, shyt isn't hard to find.
agreed.
these dudes really seem to not "get" how things work today. Same with Ghostface when he was shocked/angered that he had so many twitter fans yet no one bought Big Doe Rehab. U-God was probably looking at all the people they rock at concerts, yet his album came out last year and presumably sold next to nothing.
Fans of classic groups just want to hear...classic music. In the case of Wu, people buy tickets to hear Cream, Triumph, etc. So when U-God says he has a new album coming out no one really cares. The best way to get people's attention is to do something big - give them a product worth buying. Deck understands this and got it right with Czarface, and Ghostface got it right with 12 Reasons To Die. No one is looking for a U God album. But if U God did an album with say, El P for instance, then all of a sudden you've got some buzz; release a nice vinyl, good art work, etc and you're cooking.
These guys are never going to go plat or gold again, or even sell 100k records. The goal should be aiming at the collector type fan, who will buy a package if it looks good and is quality. BTW you can tell Raekwon doesn't understand this either. Nobody is checking for 2013/2014 Rae doing duet tracks; I follow Rae on twitter and all he does is try to sell thatsingle with Estelle. He should be trying to convince his core audience to check out his new stuff by appealing to them. He should be calling up Alchemist try to do a project together, or doing an album with Ghostface; get a new distribution thing going for a vinyl, nice art, CD, etc and go for it.
Yeah, people like to shyt on U God but anyone who actually checked his solo joints knows he can put some dope shyt togetherToo bad U-God's last 2 albums are pretty good.
