In that case we'll see how the marketing comes along (and if it actually releases then or it's some Frank Ocean shit) before making assumptions. Dude can do alright just painting VEVO channels up, but I'm not exactly sure what a W or L is for Fetty Wap.

Me. They take a much smaller percentage than a 360 deal but it's still a double digit number.
It's a near perfect scam tbh. A lot of these "hot" artists have no idea what they're doing, and from a distribution standpoint 300 looks/sounds better than the competition. In reality it's a perfect label for exploiting small scale success in the current climate (singles). Low overhead, smaller budgets, more teeth to sink into an artist's digital output.
Gonna be real interesting to see where Fetty is in a year or two.

Beats collected straight from leftover God Forgives, I Don't and Self Made Vol. 2 sessions,
pretty meh.
Someone also forgot to let him know ain't no one looking for DJ Mustard anymore.
I feel like Gunplay has it in him to put out a decent album, but never pushed into the right direction.

Random thoughts
- Jon Connor needs to drop a fucking record already. I'm having Crooked I flashbacks with the guy. He's got a little buzz because of Compton and he's doing exactly dick with it.
- Summertime 06 is rapidly becoming one of my favorite rap records ever. It's in the top 30, for sure.
- Snoop and Kendrick should do more songs together.
- I would pay money for a new Xzibit album.
- Daye Jack has a top 5 album of the year.

Yeah that Jay Rock/Kendrick track does nothing for me.

The fucking song doesn't begin until 30 seconds before it ends.
Jon Conner released a shit ton of mixtapes and has opened for countless artists, he's already gone through the cycle of thinking he has buzz releasing shit and realizing how few fans that really translates to... He also is better on features and has a hard time crafting songs with actual concepts or enticing themes. He'd probably make money just trying to get features then he ever will off of our of his albums. He's been around long enough that if he were ever gonna receive a big major label push it would have happened long ago when he was a new lukewarm commodity.

Yeah, I don't expect him to sell, but he's got to put out something of his own. His mixtapes are all jacking other people's beats, which is fine to a point. But he's too good to not have a project of his own. His raps are all about how hard he's working and I'm just not seeing it. I think he's a fine song maker personally, but he's letting it go to waste by being lazy. Anybody could sound good over the best selection of Kanye beats, or Dre beats.

Is it true that Gunplay only sold 800 copies?
Because wow
Also, Jay Rock's verse on Money Trees and Ueono remix will continue to be the best things he's ever done. Album will be trash.

Why does Rock sound like he's in the middle of a bench press, the fuck?

Jon Conner shouldn't have signed to Aftermath, that's the biggest problem. He can't release anything without a greenlight from the label, and has probably recorded hundreds of songs that will never be released. It's not an issue of being lazy, he doesn't control what comes out or when. IIRC he has released two mixtapes since signing to Aftermath, both of which aren't noteworthy (they continue his "rap over other people's beats exclusively" gimmick).
He released a lot of mixtapes sure, and they didn't garner much attention. However he never really did a project that demanded attention from rap fans. His album has some noteworthy features (Gibbs, Royce) but the production is forgettable. Doing a project with Black Milk would have made perfect sense but nope.
Same shit with Elzhi, man. You can't win while being from Detroit and not working with anyone.

I think if it was edited down to 1 disc it would be an undisputed classic.

I wonder how many times people have said this about double albums in the history of music
It's aight....nothing major.
Sounds about right. Some of the tracks on the album could have been on a mixtape. If he would have picked out the standout tracks and closed out with Summertime....5 mics.
