touring around the world will always pat the bills and then some, and you don't need those huge tours, you just need to be consistent.
the problem, besides the labels, are the rappers who don't hustle after their signed or after the record drops, then ***** about lack of promo, hatin', support, and radioplay.
not sayin' this is the case with saigon, but way too many rappers get the advance, spend it like it's free money, and then whine when they go lead. some people, no matter how good they and/or their album is, will never sell those big numbers even in the good ole days.
i overstand that my tastes is a niche within a niche, and we don't buy ****, but will ***** about our fav artist sales. it's about time these artist figure that out and find ways to increase their fanbase, instead of gettin' bottle service in a club that won't recognize them in a year or two if they flop.
as far as what just was sayin', i agree, there's a time for everything, and sai shoulda held on for a bit more until the clearance,then blasted away if they kept up their bull****. use them like they use you.
after all this , this **** better be effin great
