And Now…Nelly Blames His Label For Album Flop
First…know that Nelly is blaming his label for only selling 63K in the first week of his new album. And then…
EbenGregory was like…here’s what he wrote on Twitter:
A record deal is a 50/50 partnership!As a artist its your job to provide the record company with music that they(record company)can sell! Thing about the partnership is that n the public eye the responsibility is not 50/50!the artist is always the 1who catches 90% of the blame. When a artist doesn’t deliver sufficient material they(artist)gets its budget cut for next album or worse dropped from the label!
So not only is the label ur partner but also disciplinarian and 90% of the time the one who decides if the partnership continues! Nodoubt wen a artist doesn’t deliver a song that does crack top of the charts or even top10 the label is quick to say artist didn’t deliver. So intern the artist must bare the brunt of that failure and take responsibility and consequences as handed out by his or her label!!
So who fault is it when a artist gives the label not only a #1 hit but there first top40 #1 n label history!sell 2mill n singles n 2.5month. Who should be held responsible wen a artist has a history for selling records so its not like a new artist n no1 knows his r her name? Benefit of the doubt: Maybe no1 wants to hear music from that artist?well if that was true then the artist would not have a #1 song! Benefit of the doubt:Maybe no1is checking 4 the artist anymore?Well if that was true then how do u explain selling 2mill singles n 2.5month?
I careless about haters u cant hate on #1song n 2.5mill n singles!but the fact is that some1 need to holdup there end of the partnership! If the music wasn’t good how do u get to #1 and 2.5mill!!but if folks say they didn’t even no wen the album came out????? If u only ship 200thound of an album how many are u f#cking tryen to sell??the artist does control that nor does he or she control marketing. “”5.0″”Every1 luvs da album n say its crazy!So wen u hear folks say they didnt no it was out r there were hardly any n the store!WTF?
I see said the blind man. And now…
If you blame others for your failures, do you credit them with your success ice jewelry. Did you see it?
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you that ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Look at the bright side Nelly! Maybe they’ll release you from your deal and then you can start your own label. That way, when your NEXT ALBUM FLOPS, you’ll have the pride of knowing you were 100% responsible for it!
Seriously though bruh, you had your moment in the sun. You did it pretty big for a while. But its over. Let it go. When you have to TELL people how hot you are, it means youre not hot. Even Biggie knew his shine wasnt gonna last forever. If he was still alive hed probably be somewhere right now just chillin, enjoying life, not worried about a record label.
Nelly should have stayed in the game instead of gettin all blown up, tryna do his best 50 Cent impression. NO ONE IS CHECKIN 4 YOU BRUH. the last time i heard anything about a damn Nelly, it had to do with Ashanti……and that just sad #OhBaby. Nelly screwed himself with that bullshyt single he released. With Drake in the game, i dont see how he thought that would even work. 2.5 milli in single sales + 63k in record sales = your record sucks. 2.5 million Justin Bieber and country music fans purchansed that trash. i wonder how many of them thought they were buying Nelly Furtato?
dead @ “I wonder how many of them thought they were buying Nelly Furtado”
Nelly, your new sh*t is exactly that. Sh*t! *Tommy Smalls laugh* AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Look at the cover art……..that shit looks like a mixtape from a local artist I’d buy from the bootleg dude at the barbershop….like Goku #imjustsaiyan
The album just came out and it’s already being labeled as a flop? People, including Nelly, have no patience these days.
Man if you ask me Home Skillet if you would have put dat tweet on wax u probably would have went some where..
LOL @Neostanz, @Ran “C,” @deesnutz4u2
On some real, asside from the 63k who bought it, who was anticipating a Nelly album?
*Silence*
*In Katt Williams voice* Don’t worry I’ll wait.
had to double back , hahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahah
Who you trying to fool b ? Reinvent yourself brah
Nelly kept mentioning that bullshit single “Just a Dream” which might as well had been a country song. Check the credits on 5.0 every song besides the above mentioned song, was produced or co-written by the same person………coincidence……I don’t know, but if I were to blame someone I’d start there……plus Drake and Trey Songz has the singing rapping flow on lock right now….sorry Nellz, your fan base has grown up and moved on….but on a brighter note I hear Ashanti is still single.
*Nelson from the Simpsons voice* Ha!-Ha!
*Shorty-Lo Voice* ha, ha, ha,
*Chun-Li voice* hehehehehehe
*Dave Chappelle Rick James Voice* hahahhahahahahahahahahah
Cosign with deesntuz *vincent price’s thiller laugh voice* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,

hahahahhahhahahahhahahah….stop making records for the charts…I think u better go back and listen to some of KRS-ONE material…..hahhahahhahhahahha…. he’s not only collecting rap retirement money…he still getting HIP HOP money…..hahahhahahahahahhahaha …wait wait..”take deeper breath”HJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA ….
