listed J Dilla as his EP--had NONE of that ever happened, they STILL
couldn't market this album.



Let's list some of the topics this album discusses:

• His dad beat his mom, and in turn she beat HIM
• He got strung out on drugs at a very young age
• He spent a lot of his adolescence in a group home, where he also got beat up
• He feels like his mother doesn't love him
• He feels he has no friends or anyone in the world to confide in
• He cries sometimes because he feels so alone
• He feels he doesn't fit in or belong anywhere

I mean, come on. They can't do anything with that. It's too depressing.
And it has nothing to do with the actual quality of it (because it's
actually pretty decent). And while The Pink Lavalamp definitely dealt
with those same themes, at least THAT album had some more upbeat,
marketable songs ("Sat(t)elite," "Live Life to the Fullest," "Let Me
Live," "Brighter Days," "The Cookout").

Didn't Eminem make a career out of everything you mentioned? Not only did he make a career out of everything you mentioned he released 2 albums that couldbe called classics.

It's different though, not in the sense of the substance, but the fact that Charles didn't have any "mainstream" record appealing songs thatmakes this album extremely hard to market.

Yeah, This Perfect Life runs in stark contrast to The Pink Lavalamp, which, aside from two tracks ("Music [Intro]" and "I'll be Around [Outro]"), was almost ENTIRELY optimistic.

Maybe it's because that one came out in December, and he was still on that Obama high or something.

Yea definitely could be due to the time of recordings. After the Dilla thing, seems he was completely off of the internet. Pink Lava Lamp wasdefinitely album material and was his best "mixtape" I grew tired of him just shelling out tapes.

This joint is appreciated tho.
