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.
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.
