Consequence offers refund for new album
Haven’t we seen this before? Last year, Rhymefest responded to snarky remarks about his underperforming debut, Blue Collar, by posting a compelling essay about SoundScan sales and their irrelevance when it comes to good music. (Unfortunately, the memorable essay has since been removed from his MySpace page.) He has since stepped his game up by seeking out unlikely-but-platinum-certified producers like Lil Jon for his forthcoming follow up, El Che.
Now Consequence is trying to do the same thing. Last week his decade-in-the-making debut, Don’t Quit Your Day Job, bricked by selling a measly 7,490 units and htting no. 113 on the Billboard album charts. (In comparison, Blue Collar sold around 15,000 copies and reached no. 61.) In subsequent interviews, he has offered to give fans a refund if they can’t find a song they like on Don’t Quit Your Day Job. He then directed people to his MySpace page for further details.
I visited Consequence’s MySpace page, and all I could find was a bunch of YouTube videos and a message board stuffed with spam. Where’s the refund information? I want my money back for that wack-ass album cover.
Consequence announces new album, tour dates
While opening for A Tribe Called Quest at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, Consequence announced that his long delayed album Don’t Quit Your Day Job will finally drop in February 2007. Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, which enjoys a distribution deal with Sony BMG, will put it out. But with SA-RA and Fonsworth Bentley set to drop soon, too, you may have to wait a little longer.
