For fans who are wondering what the holdup is on the Joell Ortiz album, Free Agent, Joell answered it via Twitter.
In a series of tweets, Joell spoke about his disappointment in the lack of support from his label.
“It's crazy to be on a label that says that no one knows me but when i get outside. the car horns beep and all yall yell YAOWA!”
“Its funny cause when I tell them to let me go cause Im such a burden the whole convo changes. I dont give a f*ck”
Although Joell has two singles in rotation that are burning up radio airwaves, “
Call Me” and his remix to
Lloyd Bank's “Beamer, Benz and Bentleys”, “Nissan, Honda, Chevy,” the label still feels that he is not received by fans as a “good rapper.”
According to Ortiz:
“
The label asked me if I have a twitter account! Then they said I need to do something "controversial" (beef) to market myself. this is true!”
“
I was told that I am marketing myself as a "good rapper" i need to be more rock n roll. I am not lying.”
Don't think that the lack of support is stopping Joell Ortiz as he is promising fans that there is more hot music to come:
“
shout to all the promoters out there that support the real and all the fans that support. I give it all on that stage every night”
“
btw, we leaking another joint next week with a video WE paid for.”
With constant statements like this, the majors are gonna be on pause in a second as being independent definitely seems the way to go in 2010.
