Bay Area, you all think yall getting screwed. BET's Spring Bling will be taping today in my backyard, and guess what? Most of the attendees will be shipped in from other parts of the country by their local radio stations, mostly infinity owned radio stations. Also, as you may already no, but probably dont care, no Bay acts are on the lineup. That just shows you what the "Industry" really thinks about you.
BET isn't screwing the bay out of anything because it has no obligation to the bay. BET is a product intended to generate revenue by means of mass consumption (ie: the more people watching, the more money they can make). Naturally it's in their best interests to maximize the appeal of their products. Bay area rap music has little to no commercial appeal which is why you don't see industry using it. If 'hyphy' was as effective as say using sexually appealing women, or artists with top 10 songs in advertising, it would be everywhere.

Bay (local) acts aren't on the roster because there's nothing to really gain by using them. Local/regional interest is mediocre while national interest is practically non-existent. So how would the product benefit? It wouldn't. If you wanted to attract the largest audience possible, would you utilize people like Keak Da Sneak for example, or Yung Joc?

It amazes me that there are cats who actually believe the music business is a service for the people, to the people. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

You shut the fuck up honky. I'm really dissapointed that you crackas try to get involved with everything blacks do then you turn around and try to act like there is no more racism and that hiphop is not black music and think blacks are always complaining. Fuck you ya momma and ya shitty photos you pink toed cracka.

To Nas Hip Hop is dead arguement- New York needs to get a cultural movement restarted, its not about hip hop is dead its about New York's lack in collectivity and creativeness to revive thier music scene. The music industry has always been about putting out the hottest music, and New York's shit isn't hot with the exception of a few veterans and some one hit wonders. I think its hypocritical when artists say Hip Hop is Dead and blame commercialism when it was that same commercial system that helped put them on top. And to say theres no more music being made for the people and by the people, people in the South and the Bay can really rebuke that, because their loving their hip hop right now. Hip Hop aint dead, New York Hip Hop is just sleeping right now.

Wrong, people want to be "Whiter" because they think it will get them ahead in WHITE society. People want eureopean features because whites have put images on tv and in magazines that skinny bodies and thin noses and lips are the standard for whats attractive. Many Asians and latinos and some blacks marry white men for socio economic reasons. World euro-male domination and the brainwashing that western ways are the only way aided these feelings. This is all fact. Before african slavery and globalization by europeans there were no racial issues like their are today. Previous slavery was all based on class. There was no "racism" during roman and greek era's.
Wat a paranoid loser. Ur probably white yourself, I'd be willing to bet.

Actually, little boy, we are the ONLY one's still putting out good music in the mainstream and underground. Don't blame the Superior Coast for this.

And Nas did hold himself and other rappers to blame when he said Hip Hop is Dead.

The usual New York hip hop is the only hip hop elitist attitude, this is what I'm talking about.

When the truth is spoken only ignorant uncle toms and crackas are offended. I hope for your sake you're not black. Everything I said is 100% accurate that any college professor of sociology would agree with. You probably have never stepped foot in a institution of higher learning. You ignorant coward.

But I know you're a white idiot and are confused. I have a filipino cat co-signing with what I said. Anybody educated about society would do the same Yet we have these sorry ass simp bitchmade crackas and uncle toms on this forum that think we live in a racially equal utopia. Go eat a deathcap you piece of shit.

HAHAHA! One person agreed with you, and you really are a sad, bitter, paranoid, white kid ( I really do believe this cuz no one says Uncle Tom or cracka anymore ). If you are Black, you definitley don't have much contact with the others.

And the fact that you got all upset and actually angry at a post on the internet goes to show what a LOSER you are hahaha. You don't even know if I'm a real person, but I got you all upset. And this ain't the first time either.

When you finished cleaning the sand out of your vagina, holla at me nigga.

The east coast has nothing to gain from supporting the west coast, i dont blame them, there is a new documentry comin out describing the selection process for music to be played on BET airwaves, you tube search = confesssions of a BET producer, anyone who thinks the east coast is superior check that out and please dont hang urself cuz ur gonna want to

There is still racism in America, its sad, racism gets linked to image of white people tho (i hate using a color and the world people after it), whats really sad tho is that people are so lazy to go out and make change

I pray to god my kids are not bitiching about the white man keeping themdown, but if people in our generation dont step u do something shit will not change
