DON'T LET THE SOUTH JACK THESE BAY CATS FOR THEIR NAME....

[doodiejones]

it amazes me the amount of hate and criticism that is on this site.....lol. sometimes it feels like everyone works for the source mag or something. if you aren't in the industry, dont comment on industry biz. if you arent in the streets, dont comment on street politics. next time you see ya favorite "bay rapper" in the streets, ask him or her about flo masters. we got respect. ask anyone at any radio station in the bay from big von down to joe street team. they know us. all we are asking for is some support from the bay. is that too much to ask????? niggas was ready to go to war when ying yangs group was gonna do a "go dumb" song......... we not asking you to go buy our music, or come to our shows, just support us in what we do. if you dont like what we do its all good, we aint mad at your opinion..

I heard the flowmasters, i know who they are and i respect your hustle, you just cant get butt hurt if somebody else uses a name that wasnt yours in the first place, its all part of the game, step your shit up and wont nobody worry about the other guys.

we not asking you to go buy our music, or come to our shows, just support us in what we do.

That was super brilliant. . .(It made absolutely no sense.) Give this one up man.

I support Flowmasters I had 'em on my car once.

 

[KingofVersai]

look familiar?

so i guess word of mouth isn't support....... "yeah, them dudes is cool" isnt a show of support. you dont have to spend $$$$ to support someone

 

[KingofVersai]

Bro, let's keep it real. You are a business correct? Your purpose is to make money right? Unless pats on the back feed you, they can't support you. Is there a free muffler with a purchase of a CD? The name is generic, it's been used before, so you can't claim it as yours. Blow up and take the name!

obviously since we have had soundscan releases, everything has been trademarked.............

I am in the industry and on the streets, I hope the Bay flomasters do blow over them Atl cats, but im just sayin if you do it right you wouldnt be trippin. If wahat you say is true then have your labels attorney,(i assume yoiu have one since you know whats up) send a seize and assist to them atl cats, even if the do blow you own the rights to anything they put put under your name. But lets be real you didnt tie up all them lose ends or you wouldnt be trippin, I just want Bay cats to get mo on they biz, thats the only way well stop gettin robbed and disrespected

the legal fees outweigh the return money. if they arent selling records, what can we collect. same reason george lucas never sued ya boy over the "go 16 with me" song. since ya boy wasnt selling at the time lucas would have spent 50k in legal fees just to collect 5 or 6 grand.....

 

[Doxx]

That makes sense, don't even bother trying to collect.

But why not just enforce the fact that you have the rights to the name? Common had to change his name when he was just starting out. Do the same to them. I imagine if all the paperwork is in order that the time needed and the legal fees to handle that would be minimal.

 

[mR.SiPpYGeTiPpY]

look familiar?

they actually used the gimmick on their album cover, so they are fully aware of it...

 

[Bayfan]

it will cost you about 100 dollas to send a seize and assist, and your right dont spend no money till they do blow up, and when they do youll even have the seize and assist letter that was sent certified mail in feb. of 2006

 

[kev ski]

it aint that big of a deal,all you have to do is put out good music,how many dr.dre's are there? how about a-teams? pizzo? shit i know of 3 ,its not the name its who puts it down harder
