Seriously?



Yes Nas knocked Lil Wayne out of the number one spot but 186,000 copies ? What the fuck people! Im really upset. People can say all they want about it not being premoted about and release date not being advertised. Cut it the fuck out. This mans been everywhere ...hello do you not recall when the album was titled NIGGER. Im sure it had your attention then right? Yea because unfortunatley the masses feed into the hype. Chase the cool and im not exactly talking about Lupes Album.

I remember watching a documentary in a mass media communications class last winter about marketing "the cool". Its been done for years and still being done. In the documentary they choose a kid that fits the mold of an average teenager. They go to his/ her house and start looking for anything and everything that teen is into at the moment . Pretty much the F.B.I of advertisement gathering their "evidennce". They want to know what he/she likes, what his/hers friends like, how much of what they like , and more. They are using the youth to make money. They could care less how ignorant we are as long as we're putting money in their pockets. From that info they basically go with something they can exploit the shit out of. Same exact thing in music . You guys are funny if you think a majority of you really choose the songs they play on radio stations? Ok maybe not funny but mislead. Go ask anybody in the music buisness whose honest how they pick the songs to get played on the radio.

We are nothing but numbers to these companies. Statistics , files, paperwork, yup were homework. I Dont know about ya but i dont like being homework. So what im really trying to say is go against the fucking grain at least once in your life. I know i just got into a whole other issue but im sick and tired of seeing great classic albums getting put out and just because its not your definiton of "ringtone friendly " type of songs no one goes out and supports it. I dont use the term ringtone rappers because my ringtones be BANGIN!! Listen to music ..really listen and youll appreciate it alot more. And opinions do clash with music like anything else. But what kind of opinion can you really make if you don't bother to listen to it. Its not all about money, partying,and materialistic topics . Get some substance in ya life,some flavor in ya ear, get involved with the music you listen to because lets face it GOOD MUSIC LIVES ON. Music is never going away so get use to the better side of it.

I wont apologize for this post.
