Meth & Red just dropped an album. Where have you been? It was a really good album too.
I honestly think LL low key retired with that last dud. Ask somebody from Cleveland what's good with anybody in Bone Thugs
You got Joe Budden complaining about his project getting shelved...but when the smoke clears...the only place he can put an album out through is Amalgam Digital.
Everyone who spoke out against him were the _'s who weren't going to get a push from ANYWHERE in this current state in the game. The _'s that was making the type of music that sold...were the ones who ate. That's not Jay's fault...that's politics. And even still it's a lose/lose for him because when it comes to the people that achieved at least moderate successful under his tenure (Jeezy, Ross, Rihanna, Fabolous, Ne-Yo, etc.)...critics are going to say they made themselves hot or someone else is responsible...but on the flipside...Joe Budden has to keep himself relevant by video pimping his girl on the internet and getting punched in the eye on blogs...and that's Jay-Z's fault.
I tend to try to stay away from these types of arguments that revolve around the business aspect...because at the end of the day...most people are going to let their feelings regarding the artist influence their take on hearsay information about business or personal dealing that we didn't take part in.
