A lil something about KMEL that you may not know

[TheBayIsTheSco]

i guess u didn't understand what i was saying.... if the bay is gonna come back it aint gonna come back with a bunch of str8 up hood shit. i think the majority of the people on the board liked hyphy. so i don't know who u r speaking for. it sounds like u r trying to be too hard for the fuckin radio or something. this hyphy, go dumb, get stupid shit is kinda the bay's personality right now and it's starting to catch on. if it's catching on then let's run with it. once 40 or whoever busts the door wide open for the bay we can expand. say what u want but u r in the minority on this board if u think all that shit by the federation, team and anyone else who's getting spins is weak. support em, don't hate. let's support the bay not just awax and whoever else, support the bay as a whole.

First off folks....i don't have to act hard for anything or anybody........i'm just stating my opinion. On another note......I don't post a lot here so it's abovious i wasn't speaking for the majority of people on this board, i was speaking for me and the people that I fuck with. I dont care whos personality Hyphy is taking on...it sure in the fuck isn't mine. Maybe the the people who ride buckets with spinners on em feel that shit but i dont. As far as the team I havn't heard their album so I wont speak on it. But i will say the Federation is wack. Just to let you know I don't just support "A-wax and whoever else," I support all kinds of music. I have over over 500 cd's in my collection, and it's mostly bay shit. i just recently went to Rasputins and picked up like 15 cd's from everythng from the new messy to American Idol Christmas shit. Good music is good music, but yellin on a microphone about white t's and fake spinners isn't good music to me, and isnt how I would want my town to be repped.

man this thread kinda lost its way but as a artist and producer trying to come up
ill say that im spending more time makin songs for a wider audience not just my homies anymore and im not affraid to make a gay song for radio play who knows if any of it will work but come 2005 will see.........
fuck the radio but like nate said its needed to sell records

I remember when cats made music they enjoyed. Now we got new jacks saying shit like "I'll make Polka Rap songs if the radio will support me"

Interesting thread and good convo yall....I see it like this... in tha end its about tha music...tha radio "business" is what it is.... a "business" .... None of these DJ's own shit as far as tha stations go so there protecting thier jobs and payin thier bill's..nothin wrong with that.

Ever notice how everyone thinks THIER shit is bangin even if other people dont feel it?

Most rappers and producers are quick to blame all thier problems on everyone else....I think if your product is trully good, meaning it gets people listenin, you work hard as fuck and make sacrifices anyting is possible. Lets face it most cats out here are garbage ass rappers and producers that think tha bay owes them something...If theres one thing that pisses me off its when some wack fuckin bay MC bitches about how thier bein held down but they aint puttin in no fuckin work ta succeed...

Like "I been rappin for 2 years now I should have been blown up...KMEL hatin."...FUCK THAT...Work hard, pay attension to other peoples opinions about your work, do what you gotta do ta get your bread and sacrafice what you have to ta make it.....Try ta be a hummble good hearted person and stay away from tha dumbshit and anything is possible.

A real hustla would find ways ta work around obstacles instead of just bitchin about how fucked up shit is right?.....This wasnt directed at anyone just my opinion---I think we all need ta concentrate on just makin good music period.

KMEL doesn't play local artist anymore. Remember when the mixes would play Hyphe, Blue Jeans, Gasoline, What Iz It, Hard Way, Town Bizness and a bunch of other songs...now the only song they CONSISTANTLY play from the bay is Hot In Here by The Team. I am happy for the Team, but what happend to all of the "bay luv"? In a minute there won't even be an on the block show.

THEY WAY I LOOK AT IT, A FEW YEARS AGO THEY WASNT PLAYIN SHIT.... YALL SHOULD FEEL GREATFUL, LIKE WE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING, BECAUSE SHITS LOOKIN BETTER. THE SHIT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE, AND NOW IT AINT UP TO THE RADIO STATION, ITS UP TO THE FANS AND HOW MUCH THEY SUPPORT THE BAY MOVEMENT.... ABOUT THE HYPHY SHIT, THATS WHAT IS IN THE MINDSET OF THE YOUTH RIGHT NOW, AND THE BIGGEST CONSUMERS IN THE RAP GAME ARE YOUNG PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 12 - 18. I FEEL THAT THIS SHIT WILL GO AS FAR AS WE TAKE IT. I THINK ALL THIS HATIN ON PEOPLES ALBUMS SHOULD CEASE, AND IF U FEEL ITS GARBAGE, THEN PUT SOMETHIN OUT BETTER THAN THEM, TO KEEP THE BAY MOVIN FORWARD.

YALL GOTTA THINK BOUT PROGRESS. IF U TALKIN BOUT U DIDNT HEAR THE TEAM'S CD, BUT U BOUGHT 15 CD'S, WHY THA FUCK U DIDNT BUY THE TEAM ALBUM? I THINK WE GOTTA SUPPORT ERRYBODY WHO GETTIN THAT SPOTLIGHT, AND JUST SHOW THE LOVE. BECAUSE IF U DONT LIKE THEM, IM PRETTY SURE THERE IS A LARGER MASS OF PEOPLE WHO DO. I FEEL THAT THE BAY HAS COME A LONG WAY, AND WE SHOULD B GREATFUL, BECAUSE THERE WASNT A SHOW LIKE ON THE BLOCK LAST YEAR OR TWO, AND NOW THERE IS, SO IN A SENSE, ITS A GOOD THANG....

YALL NEED TO APPRECIATE WHATS BEING DONE, THERE ARE A LOTTA PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTIN HARD 4 THA BAY SUCH AS RAPPERS LIKE SAN QUINN, MR.KEE, MESSY MARV, THE TEAM, E 40, DOPEGAME, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE, WHO SHOULD B ON THE TOP OF THE LIST OF PEOPLE U SHOULD SUPPORT....

ITS JUST MY OPINION, BUT BASICLLY WHAT IM SAYIN IS THIS MOVEMENT ONLY GOES AS FAR AS U TAKE IT, BEING THAT THE FANS ARE THE ONES WHO POSSES THE POWER TO MAKE THE BAY BIG OR NOT.... N BY THE WAY, HYPHY IS A TIGHT ASS SONG, IT WAS ON AIRPLAY BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE WANTED IT ON THERE.... IT WAS LIKE A MUST, THAT IT EVEN HAD A REMIX! SO APPEARANTLY A LOTTA PEOPLE HAD TO OF LIKED IT. ITS NOT THE GREATEST SONG TO COME OUT OF THE BAY, BUT THE ONE THE PEOPLE LIKED THE MOST.
