Yo Ttp, next time you review any album that comes out of Dplanet's camp, remember to call him so he can tell you what to write. If you'd rather not call him, just give the artist 5/5 and remember to mention how great of a CEO Dpleezy is.


If Hype did a piece on you and they said you were a 3ft tall Mexican homosexual would you be cool with that?

*anxiously awaits Rob's review of B. Sharpa*

D Planet needs to send me a press copy too. Sounds like the hottest property out.
I wouldn't mind reviewing it too.

I think DPlanet is hating on gay Mexican midgets.

I'll hopefully be at Ritual tomorrow, so if they're in stock I'll snag.

Yo Ttp, next time you review any album that comes out of Dplanet's camp, remember to call him so he can tell you what to write. If you'd rather not call him, just give the artist 5/5 and remember to mention how great of a CEO Dpleezy is.

So are you supporting the idea that journalists can just write anything they want, even if factually incorrect?

If Hype did a piece on you and they said you were a 3ft tall Mexican homosexual would you be cool with that?

Just in case you don't know the difference between fact and opinion, let me break it down for you...

Fact:
"The album has 12 tracks all produced by J Dilla. It was recorded in New York in 2001.

Opinion:
"I didn't like the album, it lacked a clear vision and direction. The tracks sounded as though they had been thrown together in a hurry."

I think this is the third time I'm saying it... I don't care what opinion a journalist offers. I don't care if the journalist likes what they are reviewing or not. All I care about is that it is factually correct.

ok D Planet regulate HEY, ur artists deverse a 5/5 cause Zubz got a cla**ic ne! good then lets make B Sharpa sell 10,000 copies 1st then u can come talk to me.actually how about you give press a review to put in for you so we are factual about your Artists. i'll be reviewing the Rattex please send me pointers on what to write please so i can also give him 5/5.this is one of the reason y we dont sell we bitch and bitch the whole day about what? NOTHING....i dont see anybody breaking records, its not the 1st time D planet you complain about stuff. i respect you for putting cats on and have no problem with u ripping my review mara FACTS as u call THEM are WE ARE NOT SELLING CAUSE WE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THINGS.i had N.A.S.A and DJ Lemonka call me and thank me  for reviewing their album saying that it didnt matter what i said but the fact i put their album was on National platform and their sales increased Nationally.Rather than sit and point out small things how about we do promo in cd stores, perform at taxi ranks,do school rather than sit on the internet and complain. Call me and ASK since u reviewed the album which track can make YFM playlist, Metro fm or which track can make an impact...WE have a serious problem less good hip-hop is played on radio and heard B SHARPA is good hip-hop.i think B SHARPA album can be bigger than it is....

i for one see where is coming from... i havnt listened to sharpa's disc nor have i read the review, or know either of the 2 gentlemen so my opinion is purely based on what the 2 sides are saying onhere and not baised

1. D says TTP's facts about the album review were wrong
that kind of information can be checked and verified. i dont see where TTP disputes that he merely belittles it

2. No where did he make mention or take offence at ttp's opinion.

3. he merely questions how ttp can give zubz a cla**ic and give sharpa's something else even though the ratings average out... (not that he is asking ttp to give sharpa the same cla**ic status but rather question how he comes to the final conclusions, is it based on the ratings or on something eles?)

ttp makes mention of "bitch the whole day about what? NOTHING" i think it is the man's job to makes sure the right kind of information on his artist is presented correctly so this isnt "NOTHING" or rather as ttp puts it "Rather than sit and point out small things" he is pointing factual mistakes and i think u need to take that into consideration when making future reviews.

Agree with TTP.

@ D, sometimes it seems you complain a little bit too much. You got an overall good review, Your artist has been on the COVER, but yet it seems that's still not enough for you. You been talking about Ben doing very well overseas and all that jazz, but you still turn around complaining about SAMA nominations, how SA doesn't really embrace his music yadayada. Ya'll have had a lot of successes compared to a lot of people in this game but u still not happy. Sometimes you just need ignore the little wrong things, look @ the positives and put that on the pedestal.

ok D Planet regulate HEY, ur artists deverse a 5/5 cause Zubz got a cla**ic ne!

Where did I say B Sharpa 'deserved' anything? I was just questioning how the two reviews compare. But I guess you don't want to engage with that question right? Let's just keep it a mystery. Who cares about transparency or accountability eh?

good then lets make B Sharpa sell 10,000 copies 1st then u can come talk to me.

For a start you have no idea what Zubz or Sharpa has sold - until we get Soundscan (or something similar), you never will. And what have Ben's sales got to do with anything?

actually how about you give press a review to put in for you so we are factual about your Artists. i'll be reviewing the Rattex please send me pointers on what to write please so i can also give him 5/5.

Or, how about you just check your facts are correct before you submit your reviews? Find me one place where I say that you should have reviewed Sharpa more favourably?

this is one of the reason y we dont sell we bitch and bitch the whole day about what? NOTHING....

Firstly, I'm not bitching 'the whole day'. I'm working on Driemanskap's album which is dropping in May - you'll get to hear their new material for the first time at Back to the City by the way. We're working round the clock to put Cape Town and South African hip hop on the world map.

Secondly, if you seriously think that me pointing out innacuracies in hip hop journalism is one of the reasons we don't sell, you have no idea what's going on in the music industry. Who says we're not selling anyway? We're busy my man, don't worry about us.

i dont see anybody breaking records

How about first South African hip hop artist to perform at the world's biggest music festival? How about first South African underground hip hop label to sign a licensing deal with Nokia? Or first Cape Town Hip Hop label to be signed to MTN Xploaded? First label in SA to specialise in Spaza?

its not the 1st time D planet you complain about stuff.

That's right. And it won't be the last.

i respect you for putting cats on and have no problem with u ripping my review mara FACTS as u call THEM are WE ARE NOT SELLING CAUSE WE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THINGS.

You don't think presenting correct facts about our hip hop artists is important? Trust me, I focus mainly on running the label. Part of that job is checking what is being written about my artists and checking whether it is factually correct.

i had N.A.S.A and DJ Lemonka call me and thank me for reviewing their album saying that it didnt matter what i said but the fact i put their album was on National platform and their sales increased Nationally.

So you want me to be grateful to you for 'putting me on' no matter what you write?

Rather than sit and point out small things

I don't consider misrepresentation of my artists a small thing.

how about we do promo in cd stores, perform at taxi ranks, do school rather than sit on the internet and complain.

You think all I do is sit on the internet and complain? Haha. right.

Call me and ASK since u reviewed the album which track can make YFM playlist, Metro fm or which track can make an impact...WE have a serious problem less good hip-hop is played on radio and heard B SHARPA is good hip-hop.i think B SHARPA album can be bigger than it is....

Of course B. Sharpa can be bigger than it is. We appreciate all the help we get and we rigorously follow up on all opportunities. This isn't about that though.

Sometimes you just need ignore the little wrong things, look @ the positives and put that on the pedestal.

I have a good relationship with Mizi and Simone. Pioneer Unit is 100% down with Hype magazine and has been since Mizi took over. I buy 2 or 3 copies every time it comes out. We supply interviews, news stories and photography. How much more supportive can I be?

However, this issue effects all of us, not just me or my artists. Would it be cool with you if Hype reviewed the Federation CD and called it 'Techno-Rave-Hop'?

You seem to think I'm being overly demanding for just asking for facts to be correct. Isn't that the most basic principle of journalism? By pointing out these 'small things', we apply pressure to journalists to check their facts before they submit their stories in the future.

Everyone else is on this thread complaining about how KGB f***ed up the tracks on the Hype CD by scratching all over them. How come you don't jump on their backs telling them to stop bitching and be grateful?

in all fairness... DPlanet has every right to raise these questions and grievances! we all do! ttp seems to b gettin upset that DPlanet is questioning the review on HIS artists! that HE spends money promoting and signing and recording and, and, and....
@ TTP - if u and Planet swapped roles, would u not b doin the same thing??? If not, then maybe thats why u aren't a label head like he is... it is his job to question the smallest of things and not b complacent! that's just business!

@ MrC - dude i think thats bein over-critical of D's criticism. its not even like the dude is running to the Sunday Times and making this a huge issue for parliament or sumthin to take note. it's an internet FORUM! i'm happy to see he's not content with all he's already achieved! thats props to him.. that shows me he's not prepared to slow down!

mind u... i'm not happy with a review i recently read that DPlanet wrote on the crackboys, so i myself, am TOTALLY unbiased!
