I disagree with the threadstarter. In the 70's and 80's i had a small cult like following. Then in the 90's with the help of some creative TV ads and Howard Stern promotions I would soon be worth billions. Having a cult like following made me richer then Jay or Puff and I have a cult like following in every hood and suburb in the USA..

You're stupid. Havinga cult like following ensures a lasting existance. Look at nikkas like Master P, nikka was getting money before Camel Face. Where is now in terms of music? What about Nelly & 50 Cent?

Puffy ain't even a real rapper.

Jay-Z's success isn't even from either. He expanded his brand, excuse me his handlers extended his brand. You know Steve Stoute the guy who used to work with Nas. You Nas didn't want any of that shiit. Jay-Z did. It has nothing to do with his actual fanbase.

Dudes bootleg every release and expect these rappers to still sell? Rappers are barely gonna sell gold.

O well. They dont deserve to go plastic as far as im concerned with the demonic Trash they spew. Im glad people bootleg their satanic albums and take unholy compensation out of their bank accounts. Now, Lupe Fiasco on the other hand, with the release of Food and Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album, he, he deserves to go gold and platinum because the message is so pure, so right and so :lawd: Lets support artists like this and hobble demonic sales by not purchasing this degrading Filth, friend. :youngsabo:
