Def Jam Execs Taking Quantity Over Quality


Thank you Def Jam, for letting greed overcome the music and rushing what was my most anticipated album of first half 2010, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon's Wu Massacre. Although I doubt that this news will have a very significant effect on how dope this album is bound to be, I hate that this is the kind of situation stopping this album from reaching it's full potential.

I'm no major label executive so I can only speculate, but in that position, wouldn't you give Meth, Rae, and Ghost all the time they needed? Yeah, you can push them to pop out a pretty good album that will capitalize on the popularity of recent Wu Tang releases like OBCL2, OR you could schedule a third or fourth quarter release that could end up a classic.

I'm not saying that I won't still be first in line to cop this album when it drops, but I'm sure I don't speak alone when I say that I would rather have a great album later than a good album sooner. Especially when were talking about a project like this, by a trio that will re-unite in this fashion who-knows-when.

Heh, Rae looks a bit too Inspector Gadget like to be taken serious in that picture.
