tha bay scene was never over, and it never started....we wanna sit here and talk about the "glory days" of the mid-90's...but they were only the glory days to people in the bay. the Bay has ALWAYS worked to get our name somewhere, we never stopped, so therefore, its not dead...its not hatin, but u can still take pride in tha fact that we havent laid down...people always on the grind out here in the bay.
Good shit cuz. I see Quinny talkin bout London on the Done Deal Fam CD and shit is correct. The UK know who Done Deal is. Mobb Deep is one of the East Coast acts I always swoop, but respect for setting any cat straight - thats your label and I honestly believe cats must know it. If I can be bumpin Quinn and Hen and Fully Loaded and them cats out here, NY is bound to know bout it.
Aint gonna diss Mobb Deep because they always come tight and dont get on know NY commercial or sell out vibe, but Done Deal for me is established and for real its something I figured NY would be knowin about. I, for one, cant believe that Quinn and DD hasn't at least got a few heads chattering out there, I thought Chuck @ DD said even Nelly and that was checkin the mix tape??
Anyway... Done Deal.... that label already on lock, and MAJOR business props to chuck if he already got the trademark and all that legal shit on lock.

Wel lets me set a few things straight i got a show tonight so im gunna try to do this quick so excuse any spellin errors! Check this one you are very local if you think People outside this region dont know about shit that goes on in the bay The Bay is the number one bitin place in the world everyone bites off us Look at Nick Cannon calling himself "THE YOUNG FILLMOE SLIM" Cmon thats an OG Dude from my block! Niggas be knowing when i met Devin The Dude the first time He knew all about Fillmoe! When we did a show with Outkast years ago we opened for them with them even knowing we wasnt on the Bill we met Andre and he showed us Hustle Continues in his Discman! I was amazed, when Quinn went to New Orleans in the projects with Juvi when he was just goin 2 times Platinum He told Quinn "Man I bought Seff tha Gaffla tape cuz of you Quinn"! He said everybody was on that GLP shit and everyone knew you was heated! The list goes on and on DJ Quik, Nelly, UGK all have said they been on that boy San Quinn when i met them, Them Niggas know After Sept 11 Russell Simmons Flew Quinn out and a couple other rappers to do their raps they has made fro Sept 11. THE NIGGA PERFORMED IN THE MIDDLE OF TIMES SQUARE FRISCO'D OUT! and they showed it on the news you will see all the footage when i can ever finishe the dvd! niggas know more than you think I think maybe he didnt know about us when he made up his label i already knew about it and he doesnt even spell it like that they say DUN in queens ans he trying to name it DUN DEAL but it will get shut down
Let me tell you something...We have these big chain stores outhere in the big cities of germany, like Munich, Berlin, Hamburg etc...
They are called World of Music
Every single "WOM" store in Berlin has AT LEAST one of the GLP CDs or Done Deal CDs in stock...I just bought Seff The Gaffla - Livin kinda lavish plus the Done Deal Fam Album there
Y'all are trippin if u think they are only known in the bay
my 2 cents

Smaller sales do NOT mean that a genre of music is "over!"
Amen. And even if the Bay doesn't blow up, remember this: any good music critic and/or REAL fans will tell you that sales alone are NEVER any indication as to whether any genre of music is "over" or not. Selling well is cool, but sales and artistry are NEVER the same thing.
There are many Bay rappers still making great MUSIC--just because everybody and their brother doesn't "know" it, and just because it's not getting played on MTV/BET or the radio does NOT mean that the Bay is "over!" It only means that it's not SELLING--not selling does NOT automatically mean that something is "over" or that it now all of a sudden "sucks"--it just means that it's not selling. If you tell Classical, Blues or Jazz fans that those forms of music are "over" just because they're not selling in the millions, you'd better say your prayers (I speak from experience on this).
Getting exposure is key, too. Why is it that only NY cats like DMX, Jay-Z, and Ja Rule are now selling big? Because THAT'S ALL THAT THE VIDEO CHANNELS ARE PLAYING nowadays. It doesn't mean that those artists are better talent-wise than those in the Bay, it's just that these artists are the only ones currently getting the EXPOSURE needed to sell, that's all.
But whatever happens, I'll continue to support Bay rap in all forms. IMHO, regardless of whether everyone else likes it or not, experiencing Bay rap is a privilege, and I don't take it for granted. Do your thing, Chuck.
PEACE!

Real spits.
A lot of bay artists are gettin older but rappers like Quinn and Fully Loaded and Mac Mall are still in they're prime. So is Mess and Mistah FAB and Lock and Left. Plus Yuk is still doin his thing, 40 got a reasonable amount of sales from his album and still got plenty of fans, Mac Dre is on a whole nother experimental level with his shit. The new Keak is dope, so is Rydahs cd, and EA-Skis mixtape. Plenty of rappers are droppin heat here.
