You clearly read none of my post so we'll go at it this way. Dr. Dre is FAR more mainstream than Kanye will ever be and damn near all of his classics are samples. His biggest song is a flat out cover. So how is it again Kanye made sampling mainstream.
First off Wu-Tang was mainstream, but whatever that's an irrelevant point. Every mainstream hit in the 80's and 90's that was a hip hop song was a sample. PERIOD. I mean "Ice, Ice, Baby", "You Can't Touch This", hell Hip-Hop's first mainstream hit was basically a cover of a then time disco song ("Rapper's Delight"). I'll give Kanye only one credit for sampling in that he's one of the few who can still pay for full length samples. That's why people like Primo had to get creative because they couldn't afford to pay those prices and so they got creative in chopping up stuff. But in reality Kanye ain't nothing but the new age Bomb Squad when it comes to sampling. Those dudes were sample masters and made some of the greatest beats of all time. And please don't write back and tell me PE wasn't mainstream when they were going platinum in a time in Hip-Hop when the only platinum artists where Vanilla Ice, Hammer and Beasties. Kanye was not the first to make sampling mainstream, not even close.

You can't be serious.

back to running thru these streets with wolves.
This is the best way to drop music if you're a big name artist. You don't spend any money on promo. It spreads like fire through social media, download links are hard to find in the first few hours so people are so eager to be apart of the hype that they'll buy it. They'll buy it to participate in discussions online or in person or they just want to be part of this moment.
Hasn't Ross done that with the past 2 albums?
Dropping music with no promo ain't innovative or particularly smart.
Yeah, like 5-10 hip-hop/R-n-B artists can do it, sure. The rest of them would crash and burn. Drake will go gold no matter what. As will Ye, Jay, Beyoncé and a handful of others.
But let a Wiz Khalifa or Rick Ross drop an album with no big single...
And as a result "Hood Billionaire" flopped.Hasn't Ross done that with the past 2 albums?

Right. I don't know how much buildup there was to HB, but if Ross had dropped it with zero warning it wouldn't have even reached 100,000 sales.No. They had release dates.Hasn't Ross done that with the past 2 albums?
He's talking about dropping albums completely out of the blue.
yeah, i think so. people are thirsty for that new album
ok so for instance if Kendrick drop album #2 out the blue would that help his sales versus him having a release date?
