Anticon label manager Shaun Koplow speaks on Sole’s departure.
It’s interesting looking at message board response. A lot of people draw thick lines in the sand. Many of our old fans are quick to say we’re lost, that we fell off. The main complaint for those folks is that we aren’t putting out things in the vein of what we used to, which is to say hip hop. The funny thing is, when I look back at our 2009 release schedule, I see more rap than we’ve released in years, along with music that’s different from our beginnings.
