RIP to Hip-Hop Legend Rob Base . I used to love βIt Takes Twoβ and βJoy and Painβ as a kid growing up. Some of my earliest memories falling in love with Hip-Hop was constantly watching this video. The culture lost a good one ποΈππ½
Lord Jamar has publicly came out and says he used to manage Stove God Cooks. According to Jamar, Stove God was never in an unfavorable contract situation. In fact, it was Jamar who facilitated his introduction to Babygrande Records as his manager and Stove God never paid Lord Jamar for his services.
Jamar further alleges that Stove God's current push to exit his contractual obligations with Babygrande Records is not rooted in any legitimate grievance, but rather an unwillingness to fulfill the terms he originally agreed to.

Record labels have the data. If they choose not to spend on marketing, itβs likely because the data is telling them people donβt like the record. Many labels wait to see if thereβs organic consumption before spending. Thatβs the game now.
