Questions of a Bored Blogger

I apologize for the lack of material on this page as of late. To be honest, I'm a little bored with hip hop right now. But I do have a couple of questions that I would like your feedback on. With that being said:

1. Will the delay of Lasers help or hurt Lupe Fiasco going into the new year?

I am a huge fan of Lupe. Shortly after Food & Liquor dropped, he came to perform at my college. I talked to anyone who would listen, weeks before the show, about how great this guy was, plus it was $5 to get in. I ran across campus after working a double shift just to get in and less than 100 people showed up. After all the annoying label controversy, I've been waiting patiently like the rest of his stans for the album to drop. I don't think I care anymore when it comes out.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think his fan base will go anywhere but I feel like a golden opportunity was missed. Aside from Enemy Of The State, there isn't a lot of music that's been released to keep the fans at bay. Not to mention Friend of the People was shelved indefinitely. I respect the fact he doesn't want to be a slave to Atlantic but releasing old songs isn't doing it for me.

2. Does anyone really care if Detox comes out at this point?

I know I don't. Moving on.....

3. How the hell is Jay-Z going to market Jay Electronica?

I was excited and surprised that he actually signed with Hov but, he faces the same problem any other record label would. For an artist who is so anti-mainstream, I wonder how he will pull that off? Did anyone else feel odd that he's in a Mountain Dew commercial? I mean you gotta get paid but it seems contradictory to his image.

Then again look at B.O.B......
4. Why is Diddy still trying to make music as an artist?

I appreciate Diddy's hustle to make money and expand his empire but isn't trying to still be a legitimate artist taking 12 steps back? Last Train to Paris sold well not because of his talent, but thanks to his glorified background singers, Auto-tune, and more features than one of his terrible Biggie collabo cds. Not to mention Kanye did a better job with 808s & Heartbreak . And lets not forget the ridiculous catch phrase, "Get on or get off" which was only done to make it appear as if he didn't care how many units he sold in case it tanked. I don't care how much it sold, it's still garbage. How about you direct that energy to putting out Red Cafe's cd?

If  I'm wrong let me know . Any other questions bugging you about  music? Am I the only one bored?
