So 40 is first....who is next to come out commercially?
- Thread starter R-Tistic
- Start date
You right, Rick Rock is one of my favorites and he's well known also but JD has been in the game alot longer than Rick Rock and has endless connections, even his dad is a record exec or something. I mean there's really no comparison. You dont see rick rock in video's like JD. JD is a puffy type where his face and name helps sell records. Not rick rock. Rick Rock to me is more like a Chad Hugo, dope and lays low which is what a real producer is in my opinion. Fuck being all in the video.
I hear ya man...thing is...back when Hyphy dropped The Bay didn't have half the buzz it does now...and with the support that 40/The Bay is getting from radio, MTV, and BET its not like they'll be doing it alone this time around.
As far as the whole Franchise Boyz thing...I think that JD obviously played a part in thier success, but The South has had the game on lock for some time now...and they're just part of the whole wave...plus they make catchy radio/club friendly songs.
Right now...y'all really need to ride the hyphy bus while it's makin buzz. As shady as it might sound, the nation is only going to want to hear hyphy tracks from the Bay, and if not "Hyphy" at least songs like "Hell yeah" that can work in the same setting. I always have said that it is a well known fact that the Bay is diverse and can do much more than hyphy, but the only reason people outside the Bay are thinkin about the Bay right now is because of the hyphy movement. So after a few artists keep it movin, then y'all can start to show the diversity.
true that --- gotta ride the hyphy movement. we all know that we've got more than that, but the world will take it one by one.
so since keak is already on mtv/mtv2, its just a matter of time for the "superhyphy" and "3 freaks" videos to get airplay.
san quinn has a video out for "blow the whistle" on mtv i hear too... along with e40 and tpain's "u and dat" soon to be released.
four videos at the moment, getting mtv2/mtv jams recognition -- i think you'll see em on normal mtv within the next month or so.
"mainstream" audiences want great videos... i hope ya boy, valentine, feds, turf and FAB hear this! middle america wants videos!
