@Britlandboy yeah, I think he must have signed to a US label, Lloyd's new single is going to feature him and I don't think Lloyd's label would let Chipmunk feature on the lead single from an album unless they wanted to promote him so I'm guessing he's signed to Interscope.
i personally think that chipmunks album didnt sell becasue of his fanbasel.. most people dont respect chip just because of oopsy daisy and a few other pop singles that he did in 2010 but thats what made him successful.. which is not the case cos hes a sick artist so when he dropped transition so many had the mentality that hes a whack sell out and wouldnt even bother to listen to or buy his shit.. now hes stepping up his game getting lyrical again with features and the new release of spazz.com
The Transition album is a better product by far, OK it sold less than I Am Chipmunk but the POP industry is fickle, The UK needs a proper 'Urban' industry independent of people who know nothing about the culture
HOLD TIGHT TINIE & CHIP , THESE PEOPLE ARE TAKING LIKE THEY KNOW CHIPPYS PLANS AND MANAGER OR HIM , THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN AS BIG AS EITHER OF THESE ARTIST SO THEY DON'T KNOW, PEOPLE FEAR WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND, LET CHIPPY DO HIS TING , IF HE FLOPS OHWELL , HES A SMART KID , HE WILL LEARN FROM IT , HE HAS ENUFF BRAINS AND MONEY TO DO ALOT OF OTHER SHIT , TRUST , LET UK SHINE , YOU DONT HAVE TO BY HIS RECORDS , LIKE SKEPTA SAID , CAN U DO BETTER ...
1.WHY the fuck are they sat discussin Chips career?
2. The ONLY one talkin sense is Scorchers DJ &the blackguy in the hat
3.The white guy doesnt have a clue but fully believes he does.
4. EVERYONE in the industry knows Sony are FUCKRIES! Nas was with them &for a while his career went thru the same "bullshit period" when they sabotaged his career.after he dropped Illmatic. Chippys goin thru the same thing atm. Sony doesnt understand or care about BlackMusic lets not forget they killed MJ!!
Before Chipmunk can break the US, he needs to break the UK. Im talking about 5 number 1 hits and so. The reason why Transistion flopped was because the songs of I Am Chipmunk were made towards a different type of market
Chip charted wayyyy before he got signed to Sony and it wasnt just on Westwood either he charted with who yare you and he does still spit and he is doing both like I Am Chipmunk and Transition were both on Sony BUT his mixtapes aint for instance SPAZZZ.COM blew up and he did that for FREE. and by himself soo yanoe :)
You know what, I totally agree with dude that blamed the label/marketing team. Look at the Grammy's, the majority of artists winning awards has nothing to do with with album quality, it moreso has to do with the politics of music and how much the album is pushed. If they had Chip doing more press (like interviews, radio touring, commercials and that) than the album would have done so much better. And, let's not forget, they only really pushed the Champion track.
1) The video editing on this video is straight SHIT. Why are you cutting shit up? You do that to get the important parts of a convo, not just when you feel lol!
Gret Debate Guys But I Wanna Know 'Do You Think You Cn Buss In The UK Only Doing Rap?' And Why Is There No Money In The Underground In The Uk Like The Us'?? Everyone Like This So I Can Get Discussed Thanks (Y)
@JumpOffTVUK@manerdx there not being any money in UK underground compared to US is quite simple really, its all down to population, the US has over 300 million people where as the UK has about 60 million, as well as that all countries look towards the US for music, so even if Don's like meek mill who you wouldn't class as mainstream, he basically has rap lovers around the world getting his shit where as underground rappers in the UK only can promote themselves here
and aswell when you look at most usa hip hop artist they do there underground ish aswell as beingon a big label such as Lil wayne Young Money Mixtapes Drake French Montanna being on Akons Label Konvic French puts the mixtapes and Konvic label is least to say a fairly big label so i think Chipmunk has gone backwards as maybe sony did not want him to transition hence to why he took the route but i will say he will make it . just dont sign to YMCMB he need a bigger label then young moeny Peace
okay i think chipmunk has gone backwards in his career as when wiley was saying years ago to westwood that chipmunk could of blew up if he had stuck to the grime ect ect he went the opsey dasiey route for me it seems like chipmunk going independent is like backwards because A= in reference to the states most of the artist are independent before they get singed however he was singed to sony and that is a big label that could of made things happen if they or him wanted it too
Chipmunks going independent...wanting to be respected by rappers etc etc...I think he took on board what lowkey said..anyway I think he could make it if he gets good features...getting co-signed by Chris brown, trey songz, diddy and lil Wayne is half the battle...plus I heard he has links with bird-man...watch this space
DJ Snips said it so well! I'm from NYC. Tinie has no real rap fans. I heard about Tinie Tempah when I was visiting London in '09. As a person who listens to US Hip Hop, UK Grime, UK Rap, and UK Hip Hop I noticed quite a lot things the music scene is quite different. Tinie's fans in the US aren't rap they're more pop fans. Chip needs to realize it's not going to happen for the simple fact that lyrically he can't compete with the US market of rappers.
On top of that his stage name and he tries to hard. There's a different from being influenced by US culture and music however when you try so hard to being like rappers of a certain area it makes people wonder if your real. UK artist like him and some others need to realize the US market is quite hard to break. For example Chip tried to use the "Champion" song to break into the market in the US and got no plays, Master Shortie tried it and got no plays.
Tinie only plays because he has the largest record company backing him. Look wise and marketing wise Tinie is great. Tinie's US fans are the same as his UK fans out in Manchester, Glasglow, Chelsea etc. What Chipmunk really needs to do is find his sound and image before he can start planning trips to break the US market. Because a person like him will be asked to change quite a lot for the US market.
@NukeProofSuit Noooo! Manchester, Glasgow and Chelsea is right. People outside the inner city area are aware what Hip/Grime/Rap is but the people outside are not so aware that tunes like that are more pop than Hip Hop. A person in an inner city can define or tell you the difference between a pop sound and a grime, hip hop, and rap sound. simple as that!
@MADEINOLIVEBLOG No, I don't think you really know what your talking about: 'People outside the inner city area are aware what Hip/Grime/Rap is but the people outside are not so aware that tunes like that are more pop than Hip Hop.'
Read that back to yourself, now tell me... your telling me YOU know what EVERYONE knows or does not know? Your crazy
why do british rappers only think of america there are other countries like canada and austrila who do pay more respect to us please answer jumpoff you may know their reason lool
when ppl clock its not all about da money, dey will agree independent is much better - so theres less influence on wot u hav 2 say etc. u can express urself wiv ease independently, but at the same time there is almost no chance of gettin recognised wivout a major, sbtv grimedaily etc r good, but not enuff
