In a recent interview with Rap-Up.com, Lil' Mama expressed her disappointment with her label's handling of her debut album 'VYP: Voice Of The Young People', which debut at #25 with just 19, 000 units sold. Check it out below:“I’m very disappointed in my label, Jive Records, for not promoting my record properly. I’m not a rapper first and foremost. I’m the birth of hip-pop. I’m an innovator and everything that I do is fresh. When you have something so new and fresh in your hands, you’re supposed to know what to do with it. By signing with a label, I signed knowing that everyone was on the same page as me and understanding what was going on. But that wasn’t what I thought it was.”
I can't say I agree with her, the label shed out money for five videos, four of which debuted before the album's release, that's more than most established artists get and considering she's a new artist, I'm personally still surprised the label did it considering the bulk of the material isn't quality. If she's going to blame someone, she should blame her management for not getting her out there more as far as appearances and things of that sort.
