If Pharrell's album been dropped back when "You Want It Like That" still been hot on the radio it possibly would've sold better. Had Busta's album dropped while either "Touch It" or the remix was STILL hot on the radio and the label didn't delay it and release the lackluster "I Love My Chick (Bitch)" sales would've been better.instead, it just set the album up for heavier bootlegging. The three biggest losers due to both reasons this past year were Busta Rhymes' "The Big Bang", Pharrell Williams' "In My Mind" and Lupe Fiasco's "Food & Liquor". Several albums have suffered saleswise due to labels pushing back their releases and putting out another single because of greed or bootlegging. This online feedback, oddly enough ends up being promotional material that will affect whether a poster will go out and purchase said album for themselves or not. Regardless of which of the above happen, said album will be discussed ad naseum on internet messageboards. In many cases, it will end up on a computer hard drive or in an MP3 player/phone/iPod. In some cases, if the downloader likes the album, they'll go out and purchase it when it actually comes out.

Once an albums release date is announced nowadays, fans immediately being doing something called "leak math" to determine when it will be available for download online through either a private source, torrents or a music blog (It usually falls between 7-14 days before it's release).Īs soon as an album is available for download, posters on music messageboards announce the leak and visitors either receive links to the leak via PM's and inboxes or they perform Google and Blogger searches to find them on their own. The question remains: What do labels gain by not releasing already bootlegged material? Pride? Get the fuck outta here! Isn't the whole purpose of singles and radio airplay to generate interest and create buzz for an upcoming project? By that same line of thinking then doesn't it make sense to release a product that the public is obviously clamoring for? These include Large Professor's "The LP", Jungle Brothers' "Crazy Wisdom Masters", Foxy Brown's "Ill Na Na 2: The Fever", 2Pac's "One Nation" and Clipse's "Exclusive Audio Footage". What's even weirder that there have been albums that have been so heavily bootlegged and requested by the public that record labels just refuse to release them. This happened with KMD's "Black Bastards" LP, UTD's "Manifest Destiny", InI's "Center Of Attention", Main Source's "Fuck What You Think" and more recently with Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine". There are several instances of albums that were never formerly released by the original label being bootlegged so heavily that they were released due to public demand.

People have the means to get their hands on that material and they will use it, the industry is in the hands and ears of the audience now and record labels and corporations need to stop fighting this fact and come to grips with it.īy the same token, if they think that the answer to making money off of an album that leaked early is to hold it back for 4 more months, record more material for it, make another video for it and THEN release it again the result will be TWO VERSIONS of the same heavily bootlegged LP (as in the case of Lupe Fiasco). If you think you can release a single and video and have that running for two entire months and THEN release the album then you're clearly out of your minds. Let's all face facts, the the old way of releasing albums might be dead forever. The shit doesn't work! If it leaked.just say "Fuck it" and release it ANYWAYS! If you do anything then PUSH THE RELEASE DATE UP!Įveryone in the recording industry is concerned about album leaks and illegal downloading, yet few seem to actually be proactive in doing something about it. This is a public service announcement to all record labels: Stop pushing back albums in hope of generating more of a buzz. I didn't respond to any of them and it officially leaked the next week.

Also "Hip Hop Is Dead" hadn't leaked yet so my inbox was full of requests for it. I usually posted my blogs up at 8:00 PM on Fridays but I posted it at Noon and put next to the title as was common practice with leaked albums in The Reason. Editor's Note: This blog was originally posted on December 1st, 2006 on as part of my "State Of Hip Hop/Poisonous Paragraphs" blog series.
