Excellent post. This issue is a trip to me because it's damn near a problem that only indie artists in the bay and the south face. I mean the south used to have Southwest and still does have Select-o-hits. In the bay people dist. have come and gone but a few remain constant. My question for you brothas is why not pool resources and start your own dist. company? I know cats have tried to do this on a grand scheme (eg. on some universal music group, Wea type level shit) but I dont know of any young black and latin people (i know all about bayside, i'm not talkin about that whole issue) that have tried to do it from a grassroots level. If anybody could do it, it's a bay cat. sellin out the trunk and consingnment is grass roots distribution, all it takes is contacts, patience and keen business sense to make it happen. Lace me with some game and let me know why this hasnt happened or tell me that it has and i'm just tardy to the party.
