During the 2007 Hip-Hop Honors weekend, NJS4E is in town for the event since it was named Official New Jack Swing website and nominated for Best Honoree Website. Andre Harrell was on hand for a panel on the subject, and NJS4E's co-heads Joe Decidal and Andrew Knyte were able to catch up with Andre Harrell, mentor to Sean "Diddy" Combs, founder of Uptown Records, and current Executive Producer of Robin Thicke.
They did a decent interview but how come they didn't get in his ass of why Uptown shelved a lot of records.
These would have been my questions:
1) Why didn't Christopher Williams get more promotion?
2) How come Uptown managed Al B. Sure! but never signed him to the label?
3) Why did Uptown stand behind Heavy D's albums with so much promotion?
4) Why didn't Uptown sign the RNB group INTRO but had them do a lot of background vocals and writing for Father and Mary?
