Not defending him, because I could care less, but people are jockriders. Mike Dean had a right to be upset, no one else really. Cats talking like they on Roc payroll.

Anyway, that digital release w/ a tickets thing is genius. Live Nation are great at mkting....same time, CD's might be Vinyl status now..i dont think they'll completely disappear because of the sentimental value or the packaging and booklets...but genius nonetheless.

BRO!!! They are KILLING D on Twitter right now ... I spoke to him this AM and got the full story ... HE DID NOT RECORD THE AUDIO ... He was given the audio file from some bopper groupie was somehow got her phone in ... We had security checking all phones, PDA's, computers, etc.

Some people got in w/ their phones because of entrances that weren't accounted for, and security doing a semi-poor job ... Needless to say, homegirl was giggling how she "had the album" after the event was done, and he was like YO! Send that to me .... BAM ... Puts it up on his site, and look what happens ... I told him, "It's like someone robbed Yung Berg, but your rocking around w/ the chain stunting ..."

Situation sucks, but he messed up

 .... RapRadar already got him up in the YOU PLAYED YOURSELF section

- - - - - - - - -

The event itself was really dope ... Even tho i was working all listening session unitl the 3rd and final one, I had a great time ... Chopped it up Ye, Virgil, Q-Tip ... Saw Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Busta Rhymes, Mr. Cee, Nas, Gayle King, Jada Pinkett, Solange, Steve Stoute, Lyor Cohen, Mike Kyser, Teyana Taylor, Pusha T .... So many people came out ... The music made me feel like I was back in 9th grade when College Dropout was released

Yup.

In Toronto, the ACC is well-known for not really having a "bad seat" per se. The view is pretty much good anywhere in the arena, but this whole pre-sale was a mess from the jump. Now looking at the dates, I don't get why people were panicking on here and getting mad. There's no way in hell those were the final dates, it doesn't even look right or make sense.

I see sales in the high 400k to potentially 500K first weak and I foresee many artists following in the same pattern but this move might the preverbal dagger to the compact disc. 

I agree. This could really take out CDs which is a shame and it's only going to promote free downloading even more because I definitely want to hear the album when it drops but I want the CD version. So I'll be free downloading on the 8th and then buying the Deluxe version that magical date is Best Buy gets it since the date keeps changing.

Bout time...CD's were eventually gonna go out sooner or later

But it's just not the same without a hard copy, i personally collect cds myself

So for every ticket, you get a digital copy of the album, AND that counts as a sale....?

I will be surprised if they don't do some serious numbers the first week..
