Judgement Day Is Nigh
It recently occurred to me that Def Jam released Method Man's new album without even giving him a video. Or really any promotional push whatsoever. What happened to the Lauryn Hill song? The Kwame club single?
As a result, his new album sold 62,000 copies. This is by far his worst debut week ever.
I assumed that the label had given up on Meth a while ago, but this basically confirmed it. Although, I wouldn't entirely blame the label, as Meth did an excellent job of sabotaging himself (not to mention making his third shitty album in a row). Def Jam released this album strictly so they can justify dropping him from the label in um....I'll give it six weeks.
Koch Records is an army, better yet a neeeeeevy.

That picture is classic. Hell nah, ha ha.
That picture is a classic, as is the, "KOCH Records is an army, better yet a neeeeeevy," line, vintage b-fred. I still love the album (his best since Tical in my opinion), but Def Jam did fuck him over.
I been meaning to download Meth's shit but he's become so irrelevant that it just isn't a priority.
And I'm tired of rapper's complaining about they labels'. You can always get yo ass up and do some self promotion. Print some flyers, get your own radio interviews, shit get a Myspace page.
I'll check back after I actually listen to da album.
