I'm not one to usually get my tongue twisted and upset about things, but there is one thing I absolutely HATE & that would have to be disrespectful and biased people. So I'm logging onto the net today only to find out that Fist Brown has ranted on Twitter about stores not stocking his new album, "Graffiti". Really bishes ? REALLY?
@MechanicalDummy im tired of this shit. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the fuck do i gotta do...
This is when the sh&t just goes TOO far in my opinion. I understand what the "bullshit crime" he has committed, and YES, that may cause a fracture in his sales and some people may not want to support him anymore. But I don't think it is at all FAIR for a store to decide who will & won't support him. It's beyond any of our controls because they do have the right to decide if they want to sell a certain item or not, but I'm going to call this what it is. BULLSHIT. & I mean that with everything I have inside of me. Some more of Chris' tweets about the situation:
@MechanicalDummy JUST WAS AT WALMART IN wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back... not on shelves, saw for myself
@MechanicalDummy the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS
The thing that pisses me off the most about the situation is not the FACT that people aren't buying/supporting the ALBUM, but the FACT that the seller is making the decision for the consumer. No ! No! No! As a MAJOR store; such as Wal-Mart; you should still place that album out on the shelves whether you as a manager or whomever support the artist or not. You cannot take away the right of every other customer within your store to support that artist & their art by not stocking the shelves. How BIASED & DISRESPECTFUL. That's when the wigs start to falling OWF!
