why isnt their some unity with folks in kc? with most of the artists they keep to their own group of folks they colab with and rarely venture out to say have rich, tech S &S, lejo, trajik n shit. seems like tech has a few kc folks he deals with other than strange music and rich got his too lol

The rap scene here is VERY much like a big high school...every rapper has his group of friends and they rarely move outside of that group. And as a bigger division there seem to be 2 distinct categories...those who "fuck with" Tech and those who don't.

It is a given that Tech is the most powerful in sales number overall.

As for the groups you find most of the more artistic and juggalo type rappers side with Tech and most of the street cats side with the more "street" characters. This isn't true to everyone, but is pretty much the rule it seems.

That, and location (i.e gang affiliation). I think a lot of it has to do with egos. Muthafuckaz thnk they're too good to work with anotha muthafucka. There's money to be made in the rap game. I applaud cats like Van Brunt Ent. for puttin' together that RED RAGS AND BLUE FLAGS CD. That was a good move on their part.

Rappers need to get this money while its out here to get, The rap game is bigger than anyone's hood, set, block or turf. GET MONEY.

There's a lot more to KC than just Tech N9ne and Strange Music though. Granted, they're a large part of it, but there are a lot of talented rappers out here. IMO, rappers in the town shouldn't try to duplicate Tech N9ne and Strange Music's success. Rather, they should look at what labels like Strange and Major Factor have done to get them where they are and use that as a blueprint to get them where they want to be. Not so much "emulate" or "immitate" them, but use them as an example of what they should do.

Otherwise, KC will continue to be in a box. We have Underground Heat. Why not take advantage of that opportunity. There's also The Wire (90.1 FM). Obviously, those aren't a lot of choices, but considering the situation and or circumstances, do rappers in the town really have the option of being choosey? Why not use what we have as opposed to complainin' about what we don't have?

The city is separated because thats how it always has been. Major Factor and Strange are actively available to network with the common street rappers either. If they haven't heard of you chances are they aren't going to do a verse for your album unless you are willing to pay high costs. There is no discount for living in the same city as the artists.

Weird thing is, the only KC artists I've ever actually heard are cool as fuck and don't seem to be on any hater type shit. And I'm always trying to expand my music horizons. There must be a reason these self-centered, hater types that everyone speaks of from KC are unheard of.

Well no city is really "unified", but every city that isn't, most likely has already blown up or doesn't really have much to offer at the moment. KC seems to have a lot more to offer, which makes the whole lack of unification and amount of hate around the city a situation.
