he still is known from here to oregon and to kc thats have the usa... so ummm he still sold well. independent he was a boss.
Thats fine and dandy, but you obviously missed the overall point.
Using a hook from Mac Dre = no big deal
Why? Dre was FROM the Bay and wasnt a mainstream artist. If someone played a Mac Dre record in a night club in NY, I can guarntee about 1% of the people in there would know who that was. You cant GAIN anything OUTSIDE the Bay by re-using a Dre hook.
Using a hook from Wayne = big deal
Why? Wayne is a multi-platinum artist recognized around the world. He has mnajor radio play and his songs get played in the clubs CONSTATNLY. His songs get played in STRIP CLUBS CONSTATNLY. Shit, his songs even get played at fuckin SPORTING EVENTS. By Weeda re-using this hook, it makes it look like he is trying to gain a larger audience, but in a fraudent way. He knew what he was doing when he used that hook, point blank.
All im sayin is, why front? I think the whole Limewire camp is dope, but its stunts like this that make Bay artists look DESPERATE for attention.
