Good Points...I originally thought that Tribe and the success of Amplified would've been enough for the label to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I guess not--apparently you really gotta burn up the charts before they let you loose... 
... You're right..to a degree. Amplified didn't sell as well as they thought it would and should have.I think they messed up by putting "vivrant thing" on teh Violator comilation and Amplified;It should have just been on Amplified. Also,they just didn't seem to know how to market him and the album seemed rushed. It was inconsistent. On a side note:have you heard "Tip's Breathe and Stop rapped over MJ's Don't Stop...?It's pretty nice. "I'm a pig..so,magic elixir I swill" | |

"VT" was hot on the mixtape circuit and put the Violator comp over, but it muddied the success of the album itself. Tip got shorted. It was the right single at the wrong time. It kinda reminds me of what happened when Prince dropped "TMBGITW" as a single one year before the release of The Gold Experience (though those circumstances were different, I grant you). Also,they just didn't seem to know how to market him and the album seemed rushed. It was inconsistent.
It seemed very cohesive until the end. On a side note:have you heard "Tip's Breathe and Stop rapped over MJ's Don't Stop...?It's pretty nice.
I'd love to hear that. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Don't forget "Vivrant Thing" was also tacked on to the end of Tribe's Anthology album which I believe was released a month before Amplified. In the end I bought the damn song three times. | |

Got me beat. Only bought it twice! But as for the Violator comp, I also dug CRU's "Ooh Wee" and Mobb Deep's "Nobody Likes Me." Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

The bassline on "Passes you by" from Live at the Renaissance is sick, sick, sick! | |

where is this stuff at? i only have Kamaal and it's amongst my fav albums. the quality is 128 kbps, it sounds somewhat muted i think but i always had the impression that it was the best quality out there.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Then why release The Love Below? The two can't be compared. The Outkast album was more commecial than Kamaal the Abstract by far. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I think you missed the obvious sarcasm of my original post. Anyway...the record company never said (as far as I know) why they weren't releasing it and it's still all speculation on our part anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My question however was still valid and namepeace gave me an answer. | |
