This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. Brooklyn Vegan: Twitter accounts for The FADER, Pigeons & Planes, 2DopeBoyz, and HipHop-N-More all appeared as suspended simultaneously today. Navjosh, editor of HipHop-N-More, explained that the suspensions were because Atlantic Records filed complaints with Twitter after the sites posted the track list to Young Thug’s new album, Beautiful Thugger Girls, before its release. This is absurd if true. Expand - View Original
Why is this absurd? Isn't it a good thing that companies are taking any sort of leak seriously? Looking at Atlantic's side, it's their information/data to share when they want, how they want.
Just illustrates where their corporate priorities are. You can have your life threatened, your family's lives threatened, receive hate speech, etc., but don't you dare release an album's track listing before a label gets to unveil it in their own way! Good grief. As if this will somehow lose them money aside from whatever they'd wasted on some overwrought release strategy.
The weird thing about this is that the album had close to zero promotion regardless of that. weird that they'd cause a fuss over a project that seemingly they didn't care too much about.
