Will History Repeat Itself?

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, didn't drink and drive, and wore a condom when you had that one night stand Friday/Saturday night!

My sometime daily routine is to browse some of my favorite blog sites and search for as much comedy as possible. Majority of the times I'm very successful in finding something that has me crying tears of laughter and I sometimes post links on my Twitter to where my followers can find the comedy. Over the last month and a half I haven't seen one blog dedicated to the topic we're going to discuss today, and to be honest I don't know why I haven't found one. Today we will discuss how and why YMCMB signed Busta Rhymes and Mystikal.

Let's start with Busta Rhymes

I can't start this off by not giving credit when credit is due, Busta Rhymes is a legend. He's giving us classic songs such as "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" dope song and also dope video with the Coming to America shit. He's also giving us "What's It Gonna Be" feat Janet Jackson, that man has done his thing musically, but let's set our watches to "Real Nigga Time" (shoutout to @SmackWhite) who is checking for Busta Rhymes in 2012 b? I'll admit Busta is great for features, he did his thing on "Look At Me Now", but aren't you tired of Busta Rhymes screaming and yelling at you? The man has been yelling for the past 15 years and now you think a dope Drake hook is going to stop this nigga from screaming? Hell. No!! He's going to scream at Drake so much in the studio he might force his lightskin ass to cry. Why did YMCMB sign Busta Rhymes?

And now Mystikal

Baby and Slim really signed Mystikal tho. Mystikal was down with No Limit at the start of his career and back in 2000 he was killing the Billboard charts with "Shake Ya Ass", but do you honestly think he can have the same success in 2012? Ask yourself this, can you and do you want to sit and listen to a 3:50 song of Mystikal? I just dont get why someone would even go through with this deal. Just listen to this and you tell me if it's dope of not!

The reason this blog is titled "Will History Repeat Itself" is because what Roc-A-Fella was to my age group what YMCMB is to this younger generation. One of the reasons the Roc broke up was because Jay said Dame was investing time and money in artists that he felt were going nowhere, artists such as M.O.P, Ol Dirty Bastard, and Young Stef. So do you think the same can happen to YMCMB with signing people like Busta Rhymes and Mystikal? YMCMB already has a roster full of artists: Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tyga, Jae Mills, Cory Gunz, Bow Wow, Short Dawg, T-Streets, and the list goes on. Do you think the same issue will happen with them as it did with Roc-A-Fella? Will having too many artists trying to get their careers off the ground stop the cash cows of the label from getting the attention they need, and do you think jealousy will drive the label apart?


Let me know what you think.....
