Is the Westcoast Killing itself?!?!?!

[kidofficial1816]

:devious: This is a 2 parter!!

I am an advocate of the Westcoast i luv every part of it and I respect what the vets have done for the west in the past. That being said, do you think the heavy hitters need to be easy and play the background a lil bit so new talent can shine? Im not by any means saying that they should dissapear, I'm just asking, is it time for them to play the background so new talent can blow? New generations of emcees have emegerged from every region of the country except the west. These days when you think of NY you can name 10 different new and dope emcees like Jae Millz, Juelz, Cassidy etc. In the south you got Slim Thug, Zero, Jeezy, etc. Midwest you got Kanye, Bump J etc. but when people think of the west they still say Snoop and Dre. People might say the Game but he is an extention of Dre. We have plenty of ill emcees From the bay on down to dego, but the only ones that have moved major units have been "Aftermath" affiliated. Is this a twisted theory what do you think?

Part 2, What do you think about this track (honest opinions only mayne)?

I dont think,anyone should step down for the sake of the game...If they makin money good for them.I feel some artists who aint pushin them sales like they used to should try and groom a protege,etc...especially if there name has a lil weight and the connections are still there,cause there aint no loyalty as far as the industry side...if you bringin in the money then they are your family but once you fall a lil they act like they dont know you....All in all remember its a business,and alot of decisons that are made,You,and i would probably do the same,but on the boards or streets as a fan we think its fucked up how certain decisions are made...again bills need to be paid and decisions are made by #s,and quotas its not how tight you think you are,or how good your music is....the label dont care if the music is good...bottom line can it make the company money?prime example laffy taffy..is that a great song? is that beat a masterpiece? but its bringing in the money.
We always pawn the problem on the industry executives...it aint them...its the people who are buying it....again if its being bought and profit is being made they will continue the cycle of this simple songs.Solution support the artists you like and dont buy that other buuuuulll..shit.
After listening to the song I gotta say I liked it....I didnt love it,but overall a good song.

pretty much the majority of those east coast dudes you mentioned sale about the same as underground niggas in cali...juelz and cassidy dont really sale

 

[Don Hollywood Godzilla]

Let's hope E-40 does it real big and lets people know that Cali is still a force to be reckoned with

IF WE DOWN HERE GOT OUR SHIT RIGHT AS FAR AS OUR PLAGUE TAPPED INTO OUR MUSIC WE WOULDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT SHIT THAT WOULD OPEN UP FOR PROMOTION WITCH IN TURN WILL RESURRECT THA NEW WEST U SEE THA NEW BAY FOR THA MOST PART THEY DOIN IT 2GETHER IF WE HAD SHINE DOWN HERE WE WOULD BE MENTIONED 2 IT STARTS WITH US

 

[Mariel619]

The Reason The West Coast Aint Up There Is Because 2 Many Artist Are Just Makin "Muzik" But The Production Is Some 5Min Throw 2Gether Shit...Once People Take The Time 2 Step The Game Up & Not Settle For Less Then U Wil See A Rise...& NO EveryOne Is Not Rappin On Beat .Or In Proper Song Format..When U Make Beatz & Do Productions Of Tracks ..When U Hear Someone Off Beat It Ruins The Whole Song....
U Gotta Perfect Ya Craft & Learn Everything That Goes Wit IT...Jus Because U might B Hard In The Streetz ..Dont Make U A Good Rapper..OR Because Ya Homie Is Doin IT Dont Mean That Its Meant For U....

 

[Mr.Snowman]

I dont know if yall fell 2 realize but alotta people on tha West is on tha job, its tha
major labels 2 blame. Yall know they fuckin wit whats hot, or what they brain washed
people 2 think is hot and until they stop makin money from that, thats how its gone B.
If muhfuckas was lazy and shit and didnt deserve it, Cali's underground scene
wouldnt crack like it do. Ofcourse we can always get better, but it aint all because
people cant unite, beats, lyrics and shit, the industry just aint fuckin wit us right now.
What these so called real nigga rappers wit the cheese need 2 do is get 2gether 4 a
distribution label company, fuck just a record label, step it up since they got all the $.
Im talkin bout folks like JayZ, Snoop, DRe, even 50 cent. Alot of yall hate dude but fuck that bullshit,we gotta go to the root 2 fix this shit, and bring it back 2 tha streets.

SOME PEOPLE SAY "OH, THE ONLY THING CRAKKIN RIGHT NOW IS THAT CLUB SHIT, SHIT FOR THE BITCHES, ICE THIS & ICE THAT, THATS WHAT YOU GOTTA TALK ABOUT"......THATS PURE BULLSHIT!!!.....THATS WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS TRYIN TO MORPH TO..FUCK THAT.......I GOT NIGGAZ TELLIN ME...O IF AINT A CLUB TRAKK DONT SEND IT TO ME....FUCK YOU NIGGA!!!
