YMCMWTF?

So news broke not too long ago that the band Limp Bizkit, pioneers of "rap rock", hated by many, loved by others, has just signed to Cash Money Records. Cash Money has become a clusterf*&k of artists over the past few years with a few head scratching people to their roster of artists. Now let's just be clear that I was a huge fan of Limp Bizkit. The album Significant Other was the first album that I walked to the mall and purchased myself, so they have a special place in my heart. But...come on man. The whole Cash Money/Young Money enterprise is just doing the most right now. They literally have 500 people signed to the label and only like 4 or 5 people have released albums under that umbrella. I am personally annoyed when labels just sign and sign and sign people but the execution rate is just horrible. If your not Wayne, Birdman, Drake or Nicki Minaj, don't expect to have your jank released. If you actually DO make an album and have it come out, don't expect it to be promoted. In the end have to give it YMCMB because it's just so random and zany and I of all people appreciate random and zany. So in honor of LB getting signed to the greatest show on earth, here are some other people I hope get's signed to Cash Money. (as originally conceptualized on my twitter feed.)

Domino-At the height of the "G-Funk" in the early 90s Domino hit us with what is a minor hit, but definitely a ghetto classic. His brand up of Gangster azz R&B would be refreshing on the scene today.


Skee Lo-Mr. Lo had a pretty decent hit on his hands with "I Wish". This song relates to everyone cause don't we all wish we were a little bit something? I like to think that he is the pre cursor to "emo rap" because of his brutal honesty about his self image and his feelings. If there was no Skee Lo, there would be no Drake so it would be fitting to put the self aware emo rap pioneer on the YMCMB line up.


Adina Howard (on twitter I called her Anita Howard, oops)-this feisty lady laid it all out on the table and let her male conterpart know exactly how it is with her hit "Freak like Me". Since Nicki Minaj got all pop-py and is not nasty as she used to be let Adina be the freak nasty lady with a nice harmony behind it.


Semisonic-we all know the great song "Closing Time", it's timeless, it's for some reason getting more play in movie trailers now that it did when it came out in the 90s. Why should Cash Money sign them? Why not? They've signed damn near everybody else.



Lou Bega-I think Lou has a few Mambo's left in him.

Rammstein-because it would be funny. I bet Wayne is a Rammstein fan on the low.
