4. "Royal Fam "Summin' Gotz To Give" " In response to In response to 0
This one of two songs I think of off the bat when thinking of songs about the industry, one was MC Rell, the other is Royal Fam's "Summin' Gotz To Give", basically just dissin' new artists about how they need to quit and their efforts are a total waste.
I remember when Wu-affiliates were starting to come out and get signed to various labels and buying those 12"s when I saw them, during this time I was doing underground mixtapes and putting "Summin' Gotz To Give" accapella over the Jay Dee remix instrumental of "One Little Indian", anyway.
Funny thing about this (like I said in a previous post) is that artists who usually make songs like this either get dropped before the album is released or if it does get released it's usually undersold or didn't sell at all; with Royal Fam, they got dropped from Capitol Records, and the album that was suppose to come out in '96 got released in 2000 as an import thru RZA's Wu-Tang label.
