Ok I got albums from all okay artists (*Tracy and Mercedes, I can’t find the new album at all anywhere, and check ur email). Been here since it was just a roots site, but I know I’m still gonna get flack so fuck it, I’ll “take one for the team”

My statement : “there is no way in hell, if I were an okay artist, that I would not be talking to y’all”

Last time I checked, no okay artist went multiplatinum within the last 5 years. So why are they missing out on this good marketing tool right here? Let’s say lay z boi was an artist. I’d be on here trying to get d’angelo’s audience, comm’s audience, dilated’s, root’s, jazzy’s etc..., I’d be on here trying to get all those audiences to check for my shit.

Not just when my album pops out be on some “thank you” and break out type steeze. If I had a single out, I’d be like, so “how y’all like the single? Don’t like it? What do y’all wanna hear? Or just "hey what’s up?”
I ain’t singling anyone out. Some artists do pop up on here and be like hello, sup. I’d be like one of those artists cause all our artist could stand to sell a few more records.

I mean it’s like if you ain’t using the tools u have, one being this fan website, u kinda shooting urself in the foot. I’m more apt to buy the jazzies new album even though I haven’t heard it, cause they actually pop up on here and talk from time to time not just the customary “thank you” when the album drops. That’s just me though. If I didn’t sell as many records as I would have hoped but didn’t even talk on my own website, I gotta bear a lil blame my self.

I’d be like “well this site is one of the reasons I sold more records, majority of the people here buy my records. I’m gonna be on TV tomorrow and on tour….*picks up phone* yo Dan, Bkyle, I don’t know the actual dates but I’m gonna be on yadda yadda yadda, call my manager get the dates and post them." Then I’d have a laptop, palm pilot, or something and be like :

lay z boi(ok)
Watch me tonight. I’m touring, let me know what y’all think about the new songs, what chall wanna hear on the tour.

Not saying y’all would plan my shit but I’d take it into consideration. I know I tour and this and that, but I’m not TOO busy (got some of y'all with that one already) to network on this site every now and again. i would actually see it as part of my job. promoting me and my albums.

If I’m not getting played on Mtv or BET, I got endless amount of outlet right here. Especially if I want Y’ALL to buy my shit.

Now I know a LOT of ya’ll are about to rip me a new one and jump to the artists’ defense (although there is no need cause I want to see our artists do well) but let’s debate this civil like mmkay? All the customary “dick riding” "fuck you lay, ur’ an asshole", responses will get ignored. Come at me real. Don’t need any name-calling. Ok discuss:



song line: About this lady, I tell you this one. She lookin good she gon get done, I swear to God, c'mon, let me tell you sumt'n

i can't believe he/she said that shit:

"What Mo'nique didn't tell you big broads is that skinny girls can crack jokes too...By the time I finished freeing Willy...Runnybuns moved to another seat."
