BAY GETS MAJOR LABEL DEALS!!!
- Thread starter HIPHOP4LIFE
- Start date
Signing deals with those companies is the worst thing most of them can do.
Bay music and major labels don't mix.
Think about how much money Too $hort and 40 would have made if they never signed to Jive.
They would have been even bigger stars too.
The only thing that needs to happen is that the bay area labels need to step their game up. Find some professionalism. Hire some people who know how to do shit like promote outside the bay.
The thing folks are forgetting is when you have your own hood/city/state/reigion on lock like most of these artists do it's easy to get other hoods.
Mark my words, in 2 years almost all of those acts are gonna be mad as shit.

He signed as of wednesday which i am happy. just time too grind harder, big up too g. archer & the people over there, its been in talks for some time and they just finalized basically whats been going around for some months. this is good, real good. same LABEL as TI and much much plat selling artists.
All i can say is there's plenty more singings happening, and much much more. heres a thought too ponder on.
Last week a rep from Geffen emailed me, asked me too send her " Hyphy" songs, because they are informed that " Hyphy" is the new thing and they wanna shoot it too there a&rs @ geffen. I said well i got a beat cd from my boy if you wanna peep. She said " No No, we have our own producers" i said ok well here's a few songs. i sent her waken em up, and a few other new released songs.
I continue too ask her is she singing someone from the bay? she said no not at all they just wanna bring the " hyphy" sound too a new artist they signed out of OHIO!! like 3 white boys. - i said uhhhhh okay! lol. so basically thats whack that THATS HAPPENING. but it also shows that this region is makin noise and things is gonna happen. Much Much more. and the reps at the labels are watching and attention has been grabbed. e40 might not have done good in todays standards of a good-selling album. but they did a big promotion campaign & the attention has been grabbed. so all its gon take is tiime and more will be signed up.
Not too much the bay can complain about.
