>the hottest cat out to "piggyback" <BR>>yourself on radio. or maybe when <BR>>commercial artist's won't be afraid to <BR>>work with the artist that they <BR>>truly like and not who is <BR>>more radio friendly. <BR>>just because a dj's audience approves of <BR>>a song and says it's "hot" <BR>>does that mean it is? <BR>>i mean crack is popular with the <BR>>masses, does that mean..... <P>this leads into what i believe is wrong with the radio. and most albums...basically, it's like the artist and the producer aren't together at all. you got emcee's who write lyrics, and then cats are in their ear, "you gotta work with swiss, or primo, or dre, or timb..." instead of the writer and the producer sitting down trying to make music.<P>don't y'all remember when dj's were a part of the crew? doesn't that go to explaining why the hot boys have a sound? fuck it, i like mannie fresh, and you can tell that the emcee's feel his shit too, because they are making music together, not this cut and paste, my vocals over your sound shit. albums lack consistency and staying power.<P>if a single blows up, it blows up. i had to stop listening to "you got me" because it played so much, but you better believe i'm still bumpin' the lesson part three...<P>...whatdoesthishavetodowiththisthread??? (who cares?)<P>final score - dj's (producers) should be a part of the crew!<BR>_______________________________________<BR><a href="http://www.h8r.com/diallo" target="_blank">http://www.h8r.com/diallo<;/a>
