We should petition the label to release "Love for Sale"!!! That's how Lupe's shelved album Lasers was released. Lupe's fan's protested in front of record label and executives set an official release date. It's a damn shame for this amazing album to be shelved.
This is that 'grownfolk' music as my grandma use to tell us when i was running around singing temptations lyrics in my diapers! hahaaa.....Bilal keeps real music alive!
" Ahh - there's a new man in your life now, but you're still calling checking on me .... but its alright .... you say he's just a friend ... and what we had, it will always be " .... that is the realest shit ever ... Bilal is the TRUTH
How can i download the songs from LOVE FOR SALE? No wonder I dont listen to the radio at all. They play the same crap on every station at the same time while great artist get overlooked time and time again.
you know what i've come to find. is that the youth run this worid. really everything is marketed toward the youth, and the the youth don't want to hear this kind of music so the record companies don't promote it, they will not back it. everything is about the youth, that's where the money is. the only thing they market to the 30 to 50 age group is something that makes you look and feel young. i don't look to radio, we just need to network and keep passing it word of mouth
@MrALAMIN73 Funkadelic told us about it in 1972 with an album called America Eats Its Young. The album art depicts the statue of liberty eating children; an accurate metaphor for the times we live in.
@MrALAMIN73 That is only partially true. I am a youth and I whole heartedly love and support this album. I would be lying if I said that everyone my age listens to stuff with substance, but don't discredit my whole generation (even though I am losing faith in them lol) I can say the same about older generations and how artist like Tracy Chapman made beautiful lyrical art and received no love...
@bbonemn i am not grouping you are anyone your age that enjoys all music for its art form. my son is 18 and he enjoys this as well as gucci mane, i don't like gucci mane myself but thats just me. i'm talking the youth as the majority. the young are mostly the ones who call in to the radio stations, vote american idol and etc. so thats why i made that comment.
@MrALAMIN73 True. I just want people to be aware that young people love and respect music too. Its so funny because people are so surprised my musical taste and call it eclectic. I don't see whats so eclectic about it....I just like good music lol
i m not getting it, whats wrong the the people nowadays, how can such a great song and artist not be released?! the average prefers half naked, no voice, no depth, no art, singing singers. its sad that the wold we life in today is not ready for this kind of stuff....
i am lovin the sly family stone/isley funk influence of this whole album...its sooo saucy delicious...damn sad the world had to miss out!!! mb just mb if we all tap our heels together he'll remake/release some of this lusciousness....
I guess if Bilal put on some tight pants, sang about selling drugs, sleeping with sluts and his gym shoes they would release the album. Jump in the LAKE with a pocket of ROCKS Interscope!
@Thesororityrecords He is coming out with a new album in 2010 w/ an independent label...so happy! He is one of my fav. live performers..he can sing R&B/neo-soul, rock, opera.
Now u said it right there, The industry exsecs want to sale that lifestyle to the young BLACK men about saggin, showin the butts off the closeted men who sleep with men, selling drugs, runnin pimps n hoe games, that's where they want to try to keep our minds, but we have to Pray, Lord don't let it! Keep the faith, we have to pay attention to the soul of the matter, our souls will live forever either in hell or in heaven, that's the soul of the matter. Bilal is the genius!!!!
This doesn't make any sense. This song isn't radio friendly WOW!!!!!! This is so soulful Bilal please come out with a live album.
