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.
your right i got suckered by the mystique to buy ghost last album.
even though it was not that good the beats were amazing .
best thing about that album was i rapped on one of the beats...

12 reasons to Die is dope. Beats, rhymes, concept, everything. People expected something different because they saw RZA name attached to a Ghost album again. Cats expected Supreme Clientele when they should have expected what it was marketed as: Adrian Younge's and RZA's crime/love story concept album. Ghost did his thing on there.

I feel you, breh. I too bought the deluxe version with the comic, Brown tape, vinyl and shirt. I love the album. You don't get sh!t like that in hip hop. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. And yea, Ghost in my Top 5 also. He's still one of the best MC's on Earth.
He made a wack hook on a southern track, when southern music was shunned back in 2001.
U-God saw that Young Thug and CACklemore is getting play, and that was enough for him to quit something (Hip Hop) that he was apart of in the last 25 years. Going from Big Daddy Kane to seeing grown men doing the Nae Nae
would piss any oldhead off. 
this hook at :42 is one of the worst moments in rap history
Ayyyo why did i have this in my head today? "BON VOYAGE..."
I was like 12, my boy was like yo what the fukk is this? I've been defending golden arms for almost 15 years.
Im comvinced im the only one that fukks with this. Rumble was the track off of the wu playstation game

good post.. weird thing about rae is he just did this with cuban linx 2.. he saw how the buzz went crazy.. probably got more pub and promotion than ever before.. then he went right back to the same ishagreed.
