FACTS! AND COMMENTS ON "THE MOVEMENT"
- Thread starter Done Deal Ceo
- Start date
2 additional points I want to add are;
1) between the late 90's and early 2000's, there were a lot of garbage ass cd's being put out, that had only one or two good song on them. so expectedly people got fed-up wasting their money. so once the ability to download music was available, the fans used it as a tool to preview music before buying it.
2) But, being cheap along with other reasons, and also the high cost of living in the bay area, folks just started downloadin music without the intention of ever actually buying the cd. so people got into that habit, which like all habits, is hard to break when you really don’t have to.
I agree good bay area music and the artists should be supported, but I can also see both side of the debate.

If everyone just concentrates on building period we will be okay. You could have a public debate for hours as to why the bay isnt successful on a larger scale.
I dont want to beat a dead horse anymore. We (Golden Mean) have made huge strides by having our artists outside of California grinding and making connections. Chuck is 100 percent correct about that. Having enough money is definitely a factor and probably hinders a lot of artists from being able to do it.
Our formula is simple...dope creative artists who are not on a hype and who have credibility in the streets. On the business side we run a tight ship. I dont need to say much else, except that we are poised to be sucessful as a company. We also are positioned in the future to be around when we are not hot anymore. That is as important as blowing up, staying in it....

point blank,illegal downloading of music,software,and films will never end,
bootleggers be eatin, u can get 5cds for like 20$ i mean in all reality,its prolly more bootleggers then drug dealers nowadays, i remember when i was in highschool i use to hustle bootleg shit,just so i can eat myself,im not ashamed of it but i kno how it can reallly fuck with an idependent artist career,and how come im hearing more shit about bootlegging now then 10years ago,when damn near everybody and they momma was sayin "ay,dub that shit for" it changed from "dubbed, to "burn" " i dont see no end coming to it anytime soon,unless they come with sum new technology that helps this situation,which iam in the process of inventing myself

Hey as far Other artist getting signed.. Its not looking as good as t was just a month ago.. A few artists got deals on the table and a few artists HAD deals on the table and for a couple reasons got them snatched off the table.. WE NEED to step our business up man hire good Lawyers and managers.. Quit having people with no experience talk for artist or artist talking for themselves is not the answer.. BUT Federation signed with warner and THEY push their artists.. And Clyde Carson Deal will be inked by next week looks like. OTHER than thatThere is not too much going on..

we need more hip hop seminars out here in the bay,and to top it off,they need to be free.
music powers was gon have manuel seals do his seminar out here,but when i was trying to promote it out here no one sent back any feedback so they stayed in the south, i tried atleast with that one.

Man I think we do need more seminars and shit But free you know what that wuld bring.. BULLSHITTERS.. man we've done 2 Summits and in 2 Ive seen about 25 people (COMBINED) with pens and paper taking notes nad getting contacts.. and on another note Props to BART for actually having a Thread with Intelligent replies..
Chuck speaks the real... And As far The Bay Dropping The Ball... I doubt it.... If The Bay Get Some Good Mainstream Singles Out There And Unity From Other Bay Artists I Can See More Artist Getting Signed... If Clyde Carson Gets Signed Its Curtains... He's Mainstream With Street Appeal.. Plus He Got Spits... Its A Done Deal..
