IF WE THE BAY GOT SO MUCH TALENT HOW COME NO ONE IS SIGN TO A MAJOR LABEL?????

[SicFlow]

Fo sho^^^^^^
Theres an over whelming amount of rappers that got skillz like a motha fucka across the whole West coast. They just don't know shit about handling business or mixing their own music. You got to have good quality music plus the right hook ups.

man these topics are a dime a dozen....folks just need to quit bitchin bout the Bay this the Bay that and why this and why that and get on the fucken ball and do "YOU". Learn how to do you before you worry bout why the bay aint blowin up or why the radio aint helpin you or even why the major's aint signing folks. damn it seems like we be whining about this all the damn time on this board.

I like what Dank Sinatra said....he answered quite well.

NAW BUT 4 REAL THOUGH ALL DEEZ YAY AREA ARTIST'S ARE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER BUT 4 REAL THOUGH HOW CAN WE BLOW UP WHEN WE GET NO VIDEO PLAY ON CMC AND BARELY GET RADIO PLAY

 

[Al-Kaholik]

I'ma be honest, it seems like when you've heard one bay artist you've practically heard them all...

"I'm from the bay/ I dont play bla bla bla"

"here in the bay we slang yay bla bla bla some more"


I hardly ever pick up bay shit anymore, becuz most of its garbage, take that as hating if you want to but its the damn truth.

Like Tech N9NE said, "everybody wanna do what everybody else do, to copy cat is what they been taught."
If you ask me, we're apples in a bucket and none of us stand out.

I'd rather bump some old Tupac, Spearhead, or The Coup... meaningful shit, not some meaningless, ignorant, "it was cool when I was 12" bullshit...

Almost every rapper in the bay swears up and down they are THE BEST. Then we got people thinking if one man blows up from the Bay, the whole Bay is gonna blow up right after....WRONG!! I've soaked up a lot of game over the past few years, and most cats out here got it all twisted. I'ma be blunt as fuck right here. The reason the majors look at the Bay and laugh is because we are responsible for the distribution of some of the shittiest music in the world, PERIOD!! I've heard underground from a lot of places, and a lot of those places are on the right track. The Bay Area, all you gotta do is have a place to record, some money for "BIG NAME FEATURES", and you get distribution. Every "solo album" out of this place has 20 million muthafuckaz on it, the main cat got 1 verse in each song and his shit is just what I said, SHIT!!

Dam. Preach On Sydal, thats some of the realest shit I ever seen you type. Why muthafuckas gotta conform to what is considered "blowin up" and being "major"? If you can push yo shit, then push it. Yea It would be nice to have some "major" label behind you, but there are alot of cats that turn down "majors" cause they pushin they own shit hard and are getting they scratch from thier own footwork. Why have to bread some extra muthafuckaz out when you pretty much doin the thang yourself? Yall betta go listen to INDEPENDENTS DAY on the FMJ album. Listen, Understand it, and Live by it..

 

[Sydal]

man...ya feel me Reese? Fuck what most cats think, the Bay is in a slump...and it's not the GOOD RAPPERS, it's the bad ones that push their shit and have everybody else spread their bullshit word for them. Every time I get on this board 25 muthafuckaz say THIS ALBUM IS ALL KNOCK, then I go peep the samples and shit and muthafuckaz stuttering over their own words, the beats are garbage, or they just talkin about the same shit people spoke on 9 years ago.
