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.
