Wreckognize Turns Down Rocafella Contract
 
It's not surprising, the contract was a guarenteed 1-12" release, and a 25k advance. Anyone who knows anything about advances knows that you have to pay them back if you don't make 25k back (not the album, you, as in your cut,) and there's no fucking way in the world you're going to make 25k off a 12" not in this age of digital music. So he's turned down the contract, so you won't hear him on the Roc. I also think Dash and co. had something to do with this, they could have easily sat down and said "look you're good, but you just won't fit in here" etc.

Wrecks stated reason for not signing: "I wanna stay underground." (Don't believe that, if he got a huge deal offer, he wouldn't be so underground anymore, but I wouldn't advise anyone to sign a 25k advance deal for a 12" contract, that's idiotic.)

* waits for someone who doesn't understand the music biz to come in and say otherwise...

That was a good move, He wouldnt be able to make that back for the fact that he's new in the 'game' and isn't anywhere near big yet

But he also wouldnt fit in there....I still think the blind kid had a better chance

MuhThugga 11-27-03 08:34 PM

lmao......
one 12"...........
Why didn't Dame Dash just throw his dick in his face and tell him to bend over if he accepted?

RealThoughtz 11-27-03 09:45 PM

hey i knew ever since wreckognize's first round with that 1 guy that if he won he just wouldnt fit in.. its nothing like oh BECAUSE hes white.. it was because his whole concept was white... tight tee.... tight jeans.. some k swisses.... and his whole way of rhyming is so... like hes nice but it annoyed me... cuz when white people rap.. why the FUCK do you have to sound out EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN WORD... its like.. instead of muthafucka... its mutherfucker and nigger... instead of nigga and its just annoying peoples... but he was nice thought.. but Swann wouldve fitted in more

Orpheus Rex 11-27-03 11:03 PM

Swann Would Have Fit In Better With The Roc...

But Yea...$25,000 And Only One 12" Single...If It Was Swann, He Might Have Been Able To Make It...

Especially With A Just Blaze Beat...

RealThoughtz 11-28-03 01:20 AM

is it me.. or is just blaze using the sample samples over and over lmao

Orpheus Rex 11-28-03 02:17 AM

^^^ "Nigger Lips" WTF You Mean By That.
I'm Black And I Dont Slur Words. This Was
Just And Ignorant Comment.

MC 808 11-28-03 01:46 PM

I think Swann or Ceaser shoulda took it. The blind dude was pretty tight though. Wrekonize was pretty tight as well, but I agree wit mostly everyone's feedback and opinions on him. So yeah....Swann or Ceaser woulda done it.

Baron Mynd 11-28-03 01:49 PM

I dont care who you are, no names like those four were never selling 25, 000 with their first LP ..

Well I Didn't Know Anything About Your Stance
On Racism, And How Would You Expect Me To
Know? I Do See Where Your Comin From But
Sarcastic OR Not, 2 Wrongs Don't Make A Right.

MuhThugga 11-28-03 07:58 PM

It is pretty obvious what my stance is......
I only post it in just about every single racism related topic...
And you shoul;d know everything about every single vet....inside and out

Da NFamous 11-28-03 08:13 PM

when it comes right down to it Swann won the battle but like some already sed, no one was moving no 25, but it was barely, uh i mean fairly entertaining, 1luv.

Accelerate 11-28-03 09:10 PM

I Think that they were all a bit decent. All the punchlines were not surprising. But yeah, Wreconize is smart. None of them would push 25,000, I seriously doubt that.

Orpheus Rex 11-28-03 09:46 PM

Swann Shoulda Won...If They Let Bleek, Dame, And Free Vote...Swann Woulda Came Out On Top...

Orpheus Rex 11-28-03 09:47 PM

Cause Wrekonize Raps Too White...He Anunciates Every Word...
And He Dresses Mad White...Tight Shirt, Tight Jeans...Some K-Swiss...

DEL the funkee 11-28-03 09:52 PM

yeah.

when roc came into the ring they gave swann more props then wrekonize...lol

Orpheus Rex 11-28-03 09:56 PM

Swann Made It Look So Easy...

Orpheus Rex 11-28-03 09:57 PM

And Blind Fury Pre-Wrote...

That Bastard! :cussing:

DEL the funkee 11-28-03 10:00 PM

Yeah...

how the fuck did he know Swann was wearing a sweater and shit?

did he go up to him and feel him pre-battle

Orpheus Rex 11-28-03 10:04 PM

Lol...I'm Thinking Someone Told Him What He Looked Like...But The Rest Of His Stuff Was All Talking About Guns And Shit...The Crowd Was Sympathetic For Him...

MuhThugga 11-28-03 10:39 PM

Wait...you mean to tell me a rap battle isn't decided on who can bust the most caps with the bigger gun? :rolleyes:
