Stat Quo Thinks Out Loud

[Tash8]

Three and half years. That's how long Atlanta's Stat Quo has been signed to Shady/Aftermath and waiting to put out his debut, Statlanta. Just to give some perspective on how long it's been, in that time his friend Young Jeezy stopped asking him for advice about which label to sign with, signed two record deals and has released two group albums as well as his platinum-plus solo LPs. Chamillionaire, who was a fellow upstart long ago, signed his deal, went platinum-plus and won a Grammy. Even Game, who's worked under the wing of Dre as well, has put out two albums and is working on a third.

But the sighs of frustration are morphing into sighs of relief: The wheels are turning for Statlanta to come out this summer.


"[Eminem] came out to L.A. and we all sat down and listened to the album, we just listened to it," Stat said. "Then we played the record for execs at Interscope and they said, 'This is what people need to hear.' "

The album does exist and it'll definitely be a sleeper hit when it drops. There's an insane collaboration on there called "The Way Sh-- Be," which is produced by Dr. Dre and features a Dre verse, as well as a guest spot from Scarface. Another Dre track called "Fire" (featuring Bilal) is just that.

Eminem got in on things as well. He produced a few cuts, one of which is a double song

lol but to be honest *gets ready for tash to lash out at me for this* im kinda liking eminems shit lately the way he's switching his flow up and doin stuff wit artists u thought we'd never see him work with. and i would kinda like to hear him wit a southern flow not for him to HAVE one but to USE one for a song.

[Tash8]

i don't care if he tries new shit, but if he tries new shit that sucks? THEN DONT FUCKING RELEASE IT.


god damn... simple as that, explore, do new shit go ahead.. but if it sucks then why the fuck do you do it again.. just cuz Smack That got high ratings doesn't mean shit.....
