I ain't tryin to run this shit in the ground but this the most interestin post I read on here in a minute: you feel 40 tryin to do that? I know y'all know better so I'm askin.
I'm just figuring as a fan that dude drops 8 albums he's worked out his fanbase and where he's going and whether he really need to be trippin off the people he ain't attracted yet.
I think Grit & Grind was a decider on that shit. Cuzzin had Fabulous and Afroman up on there and not much changed $$$$ wise unless I missed a beat.
So he knows who is fans is and fans ain't. Someone who know dude must know whether he still trippin off finding a new audience and blowing up on some new turf.
To me he's more than handled his business and I'm blessed to have his albums. If people still ain't buying them they never going to.

^^^ THE WAY I HOPE 40 IS, I BELIEVE HE IS NEVER SATISFIED WITH HIS SALES AND LOOKS TO IMPROVE OR BRING BACK WHAT ONCE WAS... SO YES I FEEL HE IS TRYING TO GET AN EVEN LARGER FAN BASE... I MEAN IF HE DIDNT CARE, WHY SPEND THE LOOT ON FABULOUS AND CLIPSE FOR FEATURES, WHEN HE CAN HAVE TOO SHORT, SPICE 1, MAC MALL ETC.... ETC... ALL FOR FREE??? ITS OBVIOUS HE TRYIN HARD TO TOUCH OTHER AREAS BESIDES THE WEST COAST.... I MEAN HE DID A TRACK WITH LIMP BISKITS.... AND SUPPOSIDLY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE... SO I MEAN THE DUDE STILL TRYIN... YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH FANS, AND BELIEVE ME, ALL T HOSE LIL TEENAGERS THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF 40, BUT BY THER CLIPSE ALBUMS OR FABULOUSE OR LOOK ONLINE TO DOWNLOAD THERE SONGS, THEY MAY SEE 40 ON A TRACK, AND THINK HE WITH THEM AND GO BUY A 40 ALBUM.... SO YEAH HE GO T FANS, BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS MORE TO GAIN....
And on that note bro, and I know it ain't much, but if anyone EVER wants any Bay CD's gettin some promo in the UK, I'ma do everything I can for you period, just holla at me.
The market for hip hop here is huge but most cats is either mainstream or backpack although they eat rap up money wise in a second. The last Bay CD that turned up in any record store round the way here was Captain Save 'Em and that was 2 years old.
As far as mainstream and particularly backpack rap goes, I can't front on whatever cats want to listen to out here but I know whenever I slip Quinny or half the other Bay/Sac vets in the player, people be askin.
I even seen one cat at work just last week on Amazon tryin to find where to get Droop's shit from after hearing KV: Moment Of Impact in my ride.
To me we need to get that music out there for people to hear, the cover is of the last of the worries right now as far as going major is concerned.
And if anyone think I'm just soundin off from afar, I just gotta say that I got over 500 CD's from the Bay, it was hard work and a lot of paper but I just feel most everythin y'all put out,

Honestly that cover seams pretty damn cheap. It looks like a fucking 8 year polariod camera took it. But whatever, a cover can be misleading. Some cd's have gay ass covers but are actually really tight, and vice versa.
E-40 though, his shit just seems to keep getting worse, so I hope this one is better. I haven't heard any of the tracks, and I won't buy it until I do hear the whole album. But much love goes to 40 water for giving the bay some major exposure.
