independent total control of when and how much content you release and who you release it to is the wave of the future

the only acts that should stay on majors are sellin plat regardless

and even then imagine the money they could get independent

Even with low sales wiz is cakin. Just came off a 25 city tour with 5000-10000 people per show.
Album was big enough to land him that, and tour money is where the money is in music anyways.

These indie artists not doing big tours like that

Except for macklemore if people are really dumb enough to still believe he is indie with radio play and tv performances

Mac outsold wiz bit wiz tour is wayyyyyyy bigger.

Coli execs in here think they know better than artists who been doing this for years.
If indie was the way to go they'd all do it.
See the biggest bands in the world Coldplay, U2 etc all on majors cause that tour money is insane.
There is a reason all the biggest and highest earning rock and pop stars are on majors.
A reason jay z eminem drake and wayne are on majors.

But I suppose bloggers know better

I been telling nikkas Wiz's career was/is on the decline. Dude never had the fanbase that would last and he has nowhere to grow with his music.

Exactly. Don't know how long someone can rap about weed and getting high before people get tired of hearing about it.

I've been fukkin wit wiz since Prince of the city. But really fukkin with him with kush and OJ. I think we can all agree that K&OJ is a classic tape. "Deal or no deal" was solid too.

Rolling Papers was a HUGE dissaponitment :snoop: He had a huge single in front of it with "black & yellow" and outside of about 5 or maybe 6 tracks on the album, the shyt was awful. He made some commercial "poppy" tracks.

Then he comes back with the cabin fever tape, Taylor olderdice and cabin fever 2 tapes were all solid. Then he dropped the ball with ONFIC :snoop:


Now this blacc Hollywood album is complete trash :mindblown:

Is this really a loss?

I guess long-term right? I mean technically it's his first #1 album which is what he (and Amber) are playing up.

He didnt cape for Mike Brown so we realized hes a fukkin fakkit ass nikka and abandoned him. Plus he showing up to award shows looking like a cacs Funboy so nah, he has no respect left for nikkas to have fukks to give about that scarecrow looking Lame.

He did do a show dedicated to Mike Brown when he performed there and rocked a RIP t-shirt the whole show
