^^^^dude quit acting like you could do shit better than travis....tech will do fine...and if you paid attention you would know tech got like 3 or 4 videos coming out...tech is getting noticed and i would rather have it this way then him to hit mainstream and turn in to a LiL wayne and have to wait forever for an album by the shit getting pushed back...shit..im a lil drunk so i hope that shit make sense...
That must be the reason you didn't read my whole post. I believe I said something along the lines of "we'll see about the video in the coming future". I know a video is on the way, but that also needs to be of good quality and good play numbers. Bout Ta Bubble was a perfect example of a fucked up way to go. In-house video production and very little television play. Seeing as how there's not even a video out before the album is already going backwards from what you're supposed to learn from that situation. I never said I could do better, but there are other people out there that can do better than Trav, and I know that for a fact. If you believe that Tech will hit mainstream and "turn in to a LiL wayne" then you must obviously not believe in your artists. It's evident already that Tech isn't gonna kiss ass to go mainstream, if he wanted to he would have a decade ago. If he refuses to pay for play then what makes you think that he's gonna go "mainstream"?
Tech has the potential, talent, and skill to turn this motherfucker around, but that stubbornness is his downfall. He says that he wants to surpass other artists on the Billboard charts and the rap charts and all of that, but he never has the support to make it happen. If you want shit like that then you're gonna have to AT LEAST have promotion. There isn't much time left for Tech in terms of rapping, he's getting tired of making great records and only a handful of people getting it, yet he doesn't do all he can to get it known. It all goes in a circle, he has to understand that nothing in the world is free. There's a toll for everything, and the things he's asking are the most costly. Saying fuck MTV and having the F.T.I. attitude isn't gonna get him any closer to what he's trying to achieve without money.They have the money to do it, yet they're stubborn and choose not to spend it on what they want to achieve. A little investment in some promotion and a (and I'll say it again) DECENT video can get them so much more money that they can spend promoting other artists on the label hence getting them more money. Nobody's asking Strange to kiss ass. It's only kissing ass if you compromise quality for exposure. Just like the money that they spend on recording equipment, production, everything, it's gonna cost to get exposure (or at least the exposure that they're expecting). A lack of video before the album release is understandable, but not even shipping promotion material is just lazy. If this is gonna be the album that's gonna push Tech out there, then pull out all the stops and do what needs to be done.
I'm in full support of Tech and Strange 100%. I'm only giving my two cents. You don't have to believe or agree with everything I just said.
