Posted April 6, 200619 yr RNN: How do you feel Jive has treated you over your 16 album career? I feel that Jive, and Jive feels the same way, Jive just backed the **** away and neglected the entire urban division once they started making money off Britney Spears, The Back Street Boys and N*Sync. They did it on purpose. They got a couple of power groups, super power pop acts that were selling 10 million albums each time out and they channeled all their priorities right to that $h!t. If you check those years like the last 90’s, early 2000’s they just basically jumped out the game. The only thing that kept me in there was the way I get paid. I didn’t really focus on the neglect, I was working on the independent thing trying to do this, trying to do that. I always gave my best attempt to be an underground artist and no so much as a mainstream artist. As long as I get the ads, the commercials, the magazines, they are like little presents, I’m like cool. At the same time, it started being very obvious that Jive didn’t like rap music and R&B at all. I feel like now-a-days, with my last album for the first time in 2006 I feel like 10 years ago with Jive. The staff is actively juiced up about an urban product.
