Yup… just got home and no “Street Hop”. ‘Dunno if I’m even going to cop it now… I’m about to find it and listen. I understand that the “record labels” believe that the albums won’t sell much, but seriously, they probably shipped like 15 copies per bestbuy… that’s setting Royce up to fail. I think they should ship at least 40 copies per store but I’m just a disgruntled fan.

And, what the fuck is up with spending almost $20 for a PRE-order? Seriously… I don’t even care if it’s autographed or not, that’s absurd.

I have all of the leaks, but they (Mega, Royce, Fashawn, & Priest) are worthy of my $. I wanna support the physical copies…..oh well.

Good luck on finding Street Hop in Best Buy Matt. I just don’t understand it.

Rae is independent, but his album was in stores. Maybe cause he with EMI for distro…I don’t know…frustrating if you ask me.

Preordered my Fashawn album like 2 weeks ago… haven’t even got any notifications. Fuck. Gonna head over to bestbuy soon, hopefully I can still pick up a copy of “Street Hop”.

MEGA! He is easily the most under-everything artist in the game.

I FEEL YOU too Thomas.!

U should try messin with ughh.com but that shipping do raise the price.

I think priest might be moving “Elizabeth” right off his myspace or suttin.

But again that damn shipping….

Kev keeping it 100 wit leaks and downloads too.

My latest album hit the bootlegs and I was like “eff it yo. least yall wanna hear the shit…”

Yo, I definitely hear you Thomas. I order my shit through Amazon and shit is always on back order. I JUST got my Skyzoo and Brother Ali in the mail yesterday. This is one of the many things wrong with the music industry. Thank God for leaks and illegal downloads, so I can at least listen to the music before it gets to my doorstep. Yeah, I said it.

Why be signed to an Indie and record music that you can’t get to people? I go to Best Buy (the biggest and only real one left music retailer left) in the US and NO Mega, Royce, Killah Priest, or Fashawn!!! I don’t live in a big city, but don’t live in bum f##k either. I live in the 2nd or 3rd largest city in Maryland behind Baltimore or the Mont. Co. area and I can’t find this music. Fashawn has one of the best debut albums in a long time and I can’t find it.

What’s the purpose of being on such label and the product isn’t in the stores? I know one thing…when Def Jam releases something or Interscope that ish is in the stores. I don’t like mp3/ditigal albums. The music doesn’t have meaning without seeing the artwork, credits, etc. I don’t want ish printed out on 8 1/5 x 11 paper either for me to cut out and make my own CD.

Ish is frustrating…I would order the albums online, but end up paying close to 15-20 per CD. Not everybody is online like that. There have been many times I’ve picked an album up in the stores just because of the cover and tracklist…if it looks interesting. That’s wack. I’m crying…I know, but anyhoo….

@ Mike… yes a joke. i.e. Funkaho circa 1998-1999 on Stones Throw.

I bought Killah Priest & Fashawn. Royce & Cormega were both disappointing, could’ve been better. Camp Lo was dope, might get that eventually. Need to listen to the new Stat Quo & Paten Locke.

Stones throw artist a joke ?

…oh and side note. Dam-Funk? Really??? I thought 1991 gangsta shit already happened on my timeline. His beats are cool if u just really wish to re-live Quik’s old stuff. But I’m wonderin if its a joke or if dude is really serious. LOL!
