Sign more artists to Strange?
You guys think Strange should grab as much talent as they can? Or focus more on the artists they have now?
If so, who should they sign?

well then don't listen to the soft tracks.
and you are the first person i've ever heard say that wrekonize's voice is annoying. his singing and rapping voices are both dope. And you do realize the songs they do live are the same songs from their albums right? lol
IMO said:Ces Cru - dope mc's, great lyricist that rap about absolutely nothing half the time.... Doubt they will blow. They def don't make music you can ride to or get hype to and for me and a lot of people that is important. They have good flows, but to me they say lame shit...
Mayday- too mellow for me dude. The soft ass beats don't do it for me. Klusterfuk would have been way better without full mayday production, I rarely ever listen to that EP. GREAT live show tons of skill. But I can't stand that weak tone they set on albums. They genre that the are delving into wont capture many ears unless they're
Emo kids that like rap or someshit lol no offense to mayday fans, but I'd rather see them live any day of the week. Fuck if they cut a LIVE album it would be better than that hypeless bs. They get almost no play in my car.... A lot of it is maybe because I just don't like wreks voice, super annoying to me.
Jay Rock? Are you fuckin kidding me? GTFOH.... And you know he doesn't need strange gaurenteed he's already dropped and theyre all just waiting for the contract to run out. Because he won't bring anything to the table for STRANGE. And honestly prob not that much for aftermath or top dawg or whatever the fuck haha.
Don't be the type of poon that likes everybody with a snake and bat pendant.
Don't be the type of poon that says tech's son is a badass rapper just because he came out of techs dick either.
Don't be the type of poon that doesn't want to hurt artists "feelings".
If no one critiques them then they will never push to step their game up and take shit to another level.
Just don't be a poonany and everything will be ok. Smfh
Bizzaro said:your a idiot
Ces Cru has HUGE Potential...and our amazing lyricists. not all flow....
Prozak is the 2nd highest selling artist after tech last time I heard
Jay Rock aint going no where because of Kendrick....wouldnt be surprised to hear Jay Rock on the radio in the future
and Mayday?....that makes you double the idiot. Mayday is the most talented act on strange. period. They dont need strange to promote them like crazy there already good at promoting themselves. Have a AWESOME STAGE SHOW. both wrek and bernz or dope.to say strange should drop them is so stupid...if anyones blowing up on strange outside of tech its gonna be mayday
Music isnt all about "a hit song". if you love music you dont make it to get on the radio. you make it because its what you love. Thats the difference between good music and washed out played over n over radio hits. ones made with love. ones made for money.
IMO said:They need lil B, Trinidad James and, chief keef..... Lmao jk but I agree with the above^^^ tho IMO they should drop Prozak, Ces Cru, Big Scoob, Mayday, and Jay Rock, and sucks to say even BLH maybe. Because none of them have really have hit song (money making material) that I have seen. Meaning that they don't seem to bring much revenue to the table and face it, that is what the music BUISNESS is about. Even tho I listen to all those names
Besides prozak and don't WANT to see them go, revenue wise I think it would be better for them
to part ways. Even Kutt obviously doesn't make that much revenue wise. And I hate to say it I really do but MONEY wise it would be better to start promoting Rittz a lot more and trying to get snow... And JL. Even Irv would generate more than them if promoted accordingly. Tho that would be taking the strange away from STRANGE music. That's why I think Tech and Trav are in a predicament having dope artists that create no revenue and not knowing what to do. I feel like I could promote better then they do. Which is probably a revenue issue so it's basically a revolving cycle of what to do and reasons hindering. Ok I'm done, don't be pissed, I'm
Just puttin it on the table of discussion. And idgaf about my punctuation I'm on a phone. Lol

3.Rittz
4.Ces Cru
5.Krizz Kaliko
6.Big Scoob
7.Kutt Calhoun
8.Prozak

You chicken shit buttfuckin pussy lil faggot I will stab you to death and play in your fucking blood.
But no seriously dont call me names cuz I'll fucking kill you.
Other than that I bought Scoobs last album. Like I said it was acceptable. Atleast somebody keepin it gangsta. Doesn't mean he's in the league a tech,Rittz,lynch ect.
And that was exactly my point you sissy lol chicken baby. I'm NOT trying to be the one on here tellin Strange what's best. They DO no more and better than me and everyone else on here and that's why they're number one. That's why I kept sayin IMO and personally you dumbass cluck fuckboy.
But let's leave to you and the millions of idiots out there who are accepting to everything and that's why the industry sucks dick and you see black fools on skateboards with pro gay buttons sayin lil B is the greatest ever and 2Pac sucks.
People have no balls and if you do your labled a hater. Well call it what you want. I call it refined taste and half a fuckin brain.
And 1more thing chump. I stated clearly in my post that I respect Strange for signing people for reasons other than money and advancement. Than you twist my words and say that I'm spittin in Techs face??
Boy you got the personality of a mosquito and the intelligence of a dead moth.
And if it were rainin pussies you'd probably get smacked with a dick. Stfu and sit down FAG
Vin Detta said:You do realize Tech and Big Scoob have been cool for a long time and people like you saying they should drop him is pretty much a slap in the face at Tech? Maybe if fair weather fans like yourself actually gave the artist a chance and buy their record maybe they would push to get his album out. Whatever the case is on Scoob not releasing anything yet, I think Big Scoob is good, have you heard him on Stevie Stone's and Krizz Kaliko's album?? He still has it. So stop being a negative bitch that complains about everything. Nag, nag, and fucking NAG is all people like you ever do. You're like a fucking cancer that needs to be rid of already. This Tech N9ne's record label NOT yours, so I'm pretty sure him and Travis know what they are doing more than YOU.
Weezy Bellis said:Hold the fuck up. Why the fuck do you have Lynch under your no talent list dude. Way outta line!
And Vin Detta is the type a shit I don't like. Everybody want to be a nice guy glass half full congradgulator. Fuck that! Yeah Scoob is cool, but that's it. Is he best for Strange from a buisness approach?? Naw. He falls into the 75% of acceptable bs on Strange.
Strange needs to continue to sign acts with loyal fanbases that have proven track records be aide of they're talent.
Like Brotha Lynch who sold. A million before his deal with Strange with never having a big deal. Only Talent can do that!
Rittz was the best thing on the market and Strange gotm!
It only further tells me that Strange knows WTF they're doin and anytime I think they should do a certain Collab or sign someone who's goin to help them, they always do!
I think alot of these acts who are signed are for reasons other than just money and advancement. And I respect that even if I don't like all of it.
If there was something if like to see personally.
I'd like to see a 1 album deal with Twista or Yelawolf just to see/hear the end product.
Mystikal was a cool idea before he signed to YMCMB
I'm growing tired of concious rap and backpack shit.
I'd really like to see Strange keep signing aggressive flow spitters that can shock you by rappin there fuckin ass off.
Young Droop would have fit in nicely with Strange.
And Twisted Insane may need a lil polishing but I think He'd do a dope Strange album. That track he did with T-Nutty is some a the dopest dark gangsta shit I heard in a long time.
Alex M said:Throw Rittz in there and I agree. You have to look at it from a business perspective. Tech and Krizz bring in the most money. Prozak and BLH are 3rd and 4th. Talent wise, I couldn't agree more. Drop Scoob, BLH, Prozak, Ces Cru (I'm gonna get shit on for that one, and I hate to say it but drop Jay Rock. Jay Rock puts all his effort into TDE. Stange makes no profit from him and looking past profit, he puts out no music. They should put more money into 5 or 6 artists instead of putting any money towards mediocre acts. I think Mayday is a damn gold mine.
Mr.Pistol said:Mayday
Ces Cru
Krizz Kaliko
Kutt Calhoun
Stevie StoneEveryone else needs to be dropped Tech should put out three ,if not less, more actual solid albums then hang it up sit back and help the people he's signed reach higher levels of success

The signing freeze is up so Strange will be signing more artists. Strange is geting much,much bigger as a company so sign different artists from different places with different styles is needed.so don't be surprised when they sign dope known and unknown artists this year.

You might have the worst opinions on this site. MAYDAY! is the most talented act on Strange Music hands down. They don't have to make bangers. You have Stevie Stone and Kutt if all you want are bangers. Not saying they don't have some lyrics to them.
IMO said:And look I'm just saying that not everybody likes to sit in the dark and listen/study all the lyrics all the time and really sit there and ponder about your life, I do but that's just me. BUT I also LOVE ridinf down the street and banging the block down with dopness! Lol Strange music artist really lack in that area to me. To make money you have to sell. Now I'm not saying, Oh shit they should go mainstream blah blah blah fuck that. They just need more bangers IMO not lame attempts. I know they're probably all cool motherfuckers but just go harder if you wanna keep the artists that you got. Mayday was I disappointment to me because I was looking more more of a ROCK band, as I said, not super mellow lame hang your self and remember the past type depressing shit.

You agree with that nonsense? Lol, I'm only kidding for the most part. I agree with dropping Prozak, BLH, and Scoob..but Ces Cru? Come on now. They are young, and dope as fuck. Signing Connor would be cool, but Lupe? FUCK NO. Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt.1 (which quite possibly could be one of the most idiotic names for an album ever) was not that great at all, in fact it was a HUGE let down. I don't mind Lupe, but he does not belong on Strange in the least bit.

Sorry mayday is lame to me. But kutt and Stevie dot really have any bangers either they have some, def not as much as they should. And mayday is not garbage they are definitely a great band and have talent. But you missed the fucking point about revenue.... Revenue.....revenue. Let that echo for a minute. I HIGHLY FUCKING DOUBT that mayday will make or break Strange Music. So why not let them go on they're own so they have no cap. As far as them making the label money lol@ that shit. And to the dumbass talking about you don't make money for hits. You think Tech likes not being on the radio? You don't think he wants mTV exposure? You think if he keeps artist that will never be on the radio or get popular that it will be good for his company? You don't make songs to be ON the radio persay, but you definitely would like it to get exposure and when it does get exposure you hope ppl will like it or you're fucked and you're not gonna create revenue and you're not going to make a living. I can like the artist but I gotta be real and I don't think mayday big Scoob Ces Cru Jay rock etc are bringing that doe. Why the fuck do yall keep forgetting that I'm talkin about money smfh smd. Either they need to step it up and prove me wrong or get dropped. Maybe wrek go solo since his voice is so cool! Lol but idk it's whatever keep em all and shut the company down just because we think they're cool even tho they create no profit I'm sure Trav will understand BUISNESS is BUISNESS.

Jay Rock kills Money Trees.. without him on that track it wouldn't be as dope as it is. Would the song still be cool without Jay Rock? Yeah, but he adds a dope dimension along with Kendrick's verses that puts the song over the top.
IMO said:Same reason he signed Young Bleed, who fucking knows, easy opportunity probably or felt bad. Look at Kendrick's album and look at jay rocks, smfh. Actually don't look LISTEN. Ppl turn off money trees @ jay rocks part btw. He didn't exactly rip it. Ya Bish!
Vin Detta said:Are you half retarded?? Look at the exposure he got from Money Trees off Kendrick's album. It would be a smart bussiness move to keep Jay Rock because he will open up more doors of fans to Strange Music. Just because SOME of you think Jay Rock isnt a lyricist doesnt mean everyone else feels the same way. Why you think Tech signed him??
IMO said:Watch bro Jay Rock will make no hits and will not "blow up". Jay Rock is not Kendrick. Tech should have signed him I stead. DF
