What To Expect In 2012: Crews
Crews, crews, crews. Ever since Young Money burst into the scene back in 2009 with We Are Young Money, rap groups have been popping up everywhere. For a good reason too. Marketing a group is much easier. For one, you kill three birds with one stone. When you market the group, you individually market each member at the same time as well. Artists develop their images while in the group, then when they’re ready, they step out into the scene a complete artist. Marketability is everything. “Brainwashing” (a.k.a. convincing people that you’re awesome) people is much easier when you have a group, because anyone can be part of the group, including fans! You can’t be Wiz Khalifa, but you can be Taylor Gang. You see? Money! 3 birds, 1 stone. I’m not surprised album sales went up in 2011. Groups can easily cultivate “cult” followings, “cult” followers buy albums. It’s a genius scheme all around. Being a record executive and seeing this is definitely fun, but being an observer isn’t that boring either. Crews will keep dominating the industry in 2012. Well, at least some crews.

Lil Wayne’s Carter IV Due For Release May 24?
YMCMB CEO Birdman handed this list to the CEO of Blu Division Music who then Twitpic’d it.
It apparantly shows tentative release dates for artists on YMCMB. It shows Lil Wayne’s Carter IV album slated for a May 24th release.
Drake’s second album Take Care is scheduled for September 13th.
As with all release dates this is likely to change. However if it roughly stays true then we are indeed due for a hot summer!
