There just wasn't a very good cover up with this.<br /><br />These labels know the best way to make consumers feel a part of the movement is to make it seem organic....<br /><br />We all feel good when we "discover" an artist and break it to our friends right? That's not even mentioning his skills (or lack there of).....<br /><br />Plus, they need someone to market to the white 20-something college dudes right now (I am white, not trying to start shit.)<br /><br />Thanks Dart.

Almost. <br /><br />Dope dope analysis of someone sliding by on barely-there potential. To be real about it, Wale got this treatment (with more talent mind you) and it nearly ruined him. He oversaturated, did too much for his level and then the so-called buzz died. I think this kind of blog brokering, payola type shit is the worst example of fixing the game since, well, the last time it happened.

Here's the problem...I wrote this b...@ gogoluver: <br /><br />Here's the problem...I wrote this blog back on April 14th, 2009 before Asher Roth's album ever even dropped. I mentioned that Wale had a new single (since January?) but no video as of yet...that was last month. I saw screen shots from the video YESTERDAY. <br /><br />If that single w/Lady Gaga on the hook "Chillin" was being performed by him in January and it was all over the net not too long after then hit the radio everywhere by February why is it gonna be damn near June before we get a video for "Chillin'?"<br /><br />"I Love College" was online and on iTunes and the video was EVERYWHERE within 10 DAYS. Tell me I'm lying!<br /><br />One.Dart Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878801052893199850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-76164452241024151122009-05-12T23:01:00.000-04:002009-05-12T23:01:00.000-04:00yeah man, the machine was behind this kid crazy, b...yeah man, the machine was behind this kid crazy, but I knew it was all gonna be a farce.
