Back on my “state of the industry” soapbox, but this time I’m letting Bilal do the talking. After fulfilling his obligation with Interscope, he is now with an independent label that he says allows him to “experiment … and do what’s inside of me and follow my own ear and spirit.” He goes on to say that Interscope would “totally dumb down everything for mass production and mass sales.” Dumb down? For WHO? Mass? Who is that? That’s YOU (or US)!! That must mean that they think we’re DUMB!! I hate it when someone attempts to insult my intelligence!!
I’ll say it again.. support our independent artist and always support those that are consciously trying to deliver pure and uncut “good” music. Go purchase Bilal’s new LP, Airtight’s Revenge.
dude is a beast!
i still feel like i owe him ’bout $50 for love for sale. $15 for a regular cd won’t do.
thanks for posting this…didn’t know he had a new joint. do you know where we can buy it?
dug his explanation of genres, too. with so much mixing going on these days it’s hard to even define stuff as if it’s a singular form that doesn’t borrow from something else.
sorry Joe … not sure when or where you can cop it..
funny part is no one knew who the hell he was. if i had been there it would’ve been a wrap. don’t know what kind of wrap b/c i don’t do the “celeb” thing or the “look at what i can do” show however…we would’ve figured something out haha
