Tell that to Chingy. And Lil Flip. And Dem Franchise Boys. And Crime Mob.
lol...and now this dude tells me what my PROBLEM is. I'm handling getting noticed. If all goes well, you'll be hearing my 'resume' on your local radio station real soon.
So basically, what you're telling me is that I have to aspire to MEDIOCRITY before I can aspire to GREATNESS?? Yeah...you go and teach that lesson to your kids.
Put some decent sh*t out? Just give me about 2 months. 
2005 is still young. Give me a minute...
Basically...This thread started with me saying why I was excited about Game's CD coming out. I said ME. I ain't say nothing else about nobody's tastes in music, or what anybody else chose to think. I said the things that I can learn from this album. I didn't say OMG, EVERY WORD ON THIS CD IS GOING TO BE A MODEL FOR HOW I LEAD THE REST OF MY LIFE, SHAPING MY MORALS, VALUES, AND BELIEFS! I said that I can study the methodology behind what went into managing this project, study the sales data, and come to some sort of educated conclusions.
If you choose not to look at this release, or any other release for that matter, in the same manner then fine. But I post MY plans for this release, and I get attacked?
I didn't ask nobody to think like me. Nor did i bash anybody that didn't think like me. But yet i'm preaching to someone?
Sound like some people got a big case of Haterade in they christmas sweat sock.
Take your obvious feelings of inadequacy and self esteem issues up with Dr. Phil. I'll be taking up my issues with another Dr.
See you on the charts.
lmao at this dudes empty dreams and aspirations. im all for everyone single person on this forum reaching their goals but while your trying to get your CEO portfolio up on dre/diddy status on a FP forum without anything yet to show for it think about this.
Before there was aftermath, before signing eminem, before molding snoop dogg into a what he is today, before the chronic, before NWA, before ruthless, Dre was a DJ, Dre was a musician. Hadn't been for the gems he laced, the CEO status hes on now wouldnt be possible. That isn't "mediocrity", that is a crucial step in anyones career. Nobody gives a fuk about you or your future prospects until you make some noise, that is in no way a mediocre point in anyones career, id call it the turning point.a point you still havent reached yet.
And dudes like chingy, lil flip, yes to the average hip hop elitist critic they have not put hot shyt out, but to millions and millions of teenage girls and boys and thousands of heads in the club, they have, and that is what counts when your talking financial success, so yes dudes have put out hot shyt in that sense.
and this whole industry bs is why the hip hop industry is junk anyways. money motivates me as well but music motivates me even more. you are more money motivated than music it seems, because here you are preaching this shyt when you havent got a hot track that anyone gives a fuk about to begin with. thats fine with me, plenty of people, who don't have an ounce of musical talent in their blood or had never contributed a single note or snare to any songs, have made millions in the music industry, suge knight, diddy, but this is futureproducers.com, and our focus isnt CEO orientated, music first.
all im saying is right now you are a NOBODY in the industry sense, and theoretically you arent going to be typing this nonsense on a internet forum and wake up the next morning a CEO with albums to push. go out and make people actually care about you before you talk all this industry junk.
and you've been on this forum for years it seems without shyt on your resume, dont act like your breakthrough track is around the corner all of a sudden. so again put some decent shyt out, have at least one person besides your mom give half a fuk about you in this industry, then start talking on that dre level, until then your still a FUTURE producer.
