- Thread starter Done Deal Ceo
- Start date
Chuck, that is real spit from the jump........there are zero excuses......I see you puttin in work with the Deal......and with all the artists that are branching from the Done deal camp you can see where the foundation was laid............nothin but support from me...........tell big D I said wassup.......1 love from ya frisco comrad Jordan
I been pushin Quinn and the whole Bay ever since I came out here to San Diego and its amazing how receptive people are..........its all about exposure and branching outside of ones comfort zone to network and see the vast amounts of untapped markets available...........I think it starts by sewing up the whole Pacific Coast, then the SOuth and with that comes Arizona, new mexico and the SOuthwest.........1 region at a time....then the Midwest and North........the East coast will come when they see sales.......1 love
Yes each one teach one is the best promotion also all these bitches a nigga fuckinf for free turn them into promoters cuz when she cheatin on you atleast she can be playing your music, wearing your t shirts, etc.. and cmon man YES the BIGGEST supporters of Bay MUSIC are NOT BLACK know that! Example we met the dude that started Napster HUGE QUINN FAN! And Quinn had more songs than anyone on Napster so you would be surprised who the Bay fans are.. Like that for instance the whole fucking music downloading shit was created right here in the Bay.. think a kid from ATL is gunna sit inhis room and think of some shit like that????????
This is what I'm talkin' about right here. I don't giva fuck about any "movement" or if the Bay area gets nationwide exposure, or especially if an artist get his money. It doesn't affect me one way or another. That's just a gimmick you use on these young bucks to get them to buy your artists cds. Gas is fuckin' 3+ dollars a gallon these days and shit...It takes probably 2 CDs worth of gas money just to get to the fuckin' record store so you better believe I'mma burn that shit first before I run down to the local music shop and buy it, if it's worth it.
DONE DEAL CEO I FEEL WHAT U SAYIN ABOUT TECHNOLOGY BUT THERE AINT NO STOPPIN THE SHIT. SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN DO IT ALL, BUT ON THE REAL ITS NOT THE EQUIPTMENT YOU MAKE YOUR MUSIC ON, ITS THE PERSON USING IT. U CAN HAVE A MPC 4000 AND A TRITON STUDIO AND ALL TYPES OF MODULES ETC AND MAKE SOME WEAK ASS BEATS. GIVE THAT SAME SETUP TO THE RIGHT PERSON THEY MAKIN CLASSICS.
ABOUT THIS CD BURNING SHIT, THAT SHIT IS NEVER GOING TO STOP UNLESS THEY OUTLAW THE INTERNET. I GOT A BUNCH OF BOOTLEGS BUT I DO GO BUY AND SUPPORT IF ITS RAW.
ALSO THE REASON THE BAY AINT REALLY BEEN BLOWIN IS CUZ NOBODY SUPPORT EACH OTHER OUT HERE. YOU SAY THE SOUTH SELL SO WELL CUZ THE SOUTH SUPPORT THE SOUTH. BUT THINK ABOUT IT THE "SOUTH" IS MORE THAN JUST ATLANTA. YOU GOT HELLA STATES THATS ALL "SOUTH" THE BAY IS JUST 1 REGION IN 1 STATE. WE BARELY STARTIN TO GET LOVE IN SOUTHERN CA. WE GOTTA TAKE OVER CALI BUT ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN IF PEOPLE KEEP THIS MENTALITY THEY GOT OUT HERE. NOBODY SUPPORT ANYBODY NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT RAPPERS. THEY RATHER BURN YOUR CD ANYWAY. ALSO IN YOUR HOMETOWN, MIGHT NOT BE YOUR HOOD, BUT YOUR HOMETOWN THEY HEAR YOU DOIN GOOD BRANCHIN OUT THEN U COME BACK AND SOMEONE HATES ON U TRYS TO DO U BAD.... HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
EVERYBODY AINT EATING B.

Bay as far as The industry goes for the most part support each other.. there is one or 2 Haters but thats everywhere but for the most part i know 40 gets down with alot of Bay cats for Free.. Quinn Has.. EA SKi has given shit to people outside his camp.. and so on and so on,, But people want to see YOUR grind and hustle before THEY GIVE you shit.. They dont want noone to just be a begger without working.. If you create your own buzz YOU will get notcied trust that
everyone can try and make music but it doesn't mean they will fulfill their dreams or succeed at doing so, just like how people play the lotto only a few people will win
whats crazy is that even though a lot of bay area music is bootlegged, it is because it is good enough to be heard and most the time its not found on your avg store shelf where it can be purchased in a pretty little cd case with marketing schemes
what needs to happen is people need to stop polluting the game and step up the real processes like some of these peeps are saying
theres a lot of people trying to do the same shit but some efforts can be worthless, and the game can be so expensive some people cant even play it
i agree i think bay area artists should be getting paid on their record sales but they also need to start promoting outside the box
the only reason artists in the bay get out sold is because the bigger companys and corporations are pitching sales and promoting their character rappers selling out in bigger regions
summary: real music is priceless

Treal talk mayne. GOod read. I try 2 avoid burned and/or bootlegged album's as much as possible. Usually the only time I'll accept one is if the album is out of print. Otherwise I'll wait 2 purchase the album. I even try 2 stay away from imports. They don't seem official 2 me; although, sometimes the song I want is only found on imported albums. Even still I'll usually pass. My father blew up on some dude who worked at a moms and pops spot in Tahoe 4 sellin' some bootlegged Beatles or Doors album. Shit was out of control. We were just leavin' when he noticed it so it wasn't that awkward. It was kinda funny actually. My pops was heated though. He won't stand 4 that shit. He's a musician himself so he understands how bootlegging and/or burned copies takes away from the artist.
