    Because MMG is the greatest, most bestest record label in the whole wide world, and Interscope is the new HipHop graveyard.

    lol @ the premise of your threads being so predictable smh.. no need for a retort, just callin a ? a ? .

    You love the attention. LOL.

    Don't add-on about Wale as an artist or why more artists like should JayZ should be involved with other artists careers, just enter the thread and ask for my attention. I would be inclined to give equal props to Roc Nation but a simple ? might not see that.

    You were a much better poster when you were Synthesis but this new alias of yours is just desperate.

    Atlantic Records is the worst label for hip hop. Look at what they've released recently:

    Adventures of Bobby Ray (pop-rap)
    Rolling Papers (pop-? )
    Lasers (just bad)

    Let me tell you one reason why I say that:

    They used to call 50-Cent: Curtis "Interscope" Jackson....he sold them over 20 million albums and made them hundreds of millions as the poster-boy of their buffoon-department, he did everything they asked him to do even a ? -? magazine cover with his lable-mate Soulja Boy.

    When poor 50-Cent got down on his ashy knee's and begged his Boss Emenim and his other Boss Jimmy Iovine to help him promote his album they poured Starbucks coffee on his head and laughed...they told him "ni99er get out of this office".

    50-Cent ran out the building in tears and tweeted about how they mistreated him and threatened to leak a Dr Dre song but a day after Jimmy and Mosaad payed him a visit he apologized on Twitter and poured his pain into energy-drinks, twitter-rants, and hair-gel.


    Long Live Roc Nation were an artist can be a free man.

    Lmao u cold man.

    They tried but they failed miserably because they don't have a clue on how to market normal people that dont fit their mold.

    Like the Brutha said about Atlantic records, look at those three albums and tell me who them ? is being marketed to.

    Interscope & Atlantic don't care about the music they just want maximum return on their investment.


    Say what you want about JayZ but he did right by J.Cole and I respect that....

    Wale is BORING

    Regardless of label, "marketing" is made easier by artists who actually have marketable personalities.

    You don't sell records, you sell your personality.

    SMH at ? still thinking this music ? is all about whether or not they can rap or have talent

    lol @ that.. im Synthesis?... yet Jay my fav rapper, and i was in the thread ? up JG VI, which then led Synthesis to believe he could do the same, which in turn got him exposed for being a fraud.. ok buddy lol

    No need for a back forth, i was just stating facts.. just like the other thread "best rapper on the EC under 30".. you was pullin for Meek, no? lol

    Your a MMG rider and its evident so just chill lil ? , its ok to have a fav rapper/label/group etc.. smh

    So what, I can't tell you aliases apart, I just know you seem to pay more attention to individual posters than you do actual HipHop topics...nothing wrong with a crush or having a favorite person/poster/blogger...kinda weird but it fits you.

    I don't know who the "Best rapper on the EC under 30" is and I never asked that in a thread, but if I asked who the biggest was I could get Jamacia to admit Nicki Minaj.

    You follow me which is cute, but you lack the intelligence to decipher some of our discussions so you come off like an admiring child eavesdropping on adult conversations.

    SMH @ Crackaz thinking thinking Nas has 9 Gold and Platinum records based on his personality.

    ...I guess J.Cole moves units based on his flamboyant image.

    There's no way you could promote a Sheryl Swoops looking ass ? and have success....
    Wal-E is one of the biggest sissies in rap...the machine will be making the impossible, possible if they could create some type of buzz for this DC, eating out the garbage can ass clown...he should've stayed with Roc-Nation...if a herb like J Cole could move units, Wal-E might've had a chance...

    This is what I shared with you last year; we need to take control of the culture and it's direction, we need to wrest control from these major labels that seem to only care about hit singles and cross-marketing their artists with other artists on their labels.

    Did Interscope think that a Go-Go influenced rapper from D.C. belongs on a lead single with Lady GaGa when his base is Black females?!

    Did Interscope think a Europeon like Mark Ronson could executive produce a project from a Afrikan like Wale??

    ...last go 'round they had Wale skipping around Europe with Ronson doing promo!

    now they got Wale on the HBCU circuit doing promo with the people.

    A project like this is a perfect example of what's wrong and what's right with the industry .


    Roc-Nation management>>>>>>Interscope plantation.




    I don't care if Wale denies it, I truly believe Interscope let him go after his debut only sold 28K first week....

    If they didn't let him go I'm sure JayZ worked some magic with the paperwork and got his freedom papers.

    I agree.

    They lucked-up with Dr Dre early in the game and basically been riding that wave every since...50-Cent, Game & Soulja-Boy are their most prized negros.

    If you give them an unconventional artist like Wale who represents the average Black man on a college campus they seem like they drop the ball.
