yup, MC Luka been to my show, he was a cool cat...
but anyway, about that forthcoming European Tour in March featuring Bay Area artists, holla at us (my man Raphas or myself) cause we're definitly interested in tryin to get you guys comin' here in Paris...
the main problem with French people, contrary to most European audiences, is the fact they are pain in the ass, ahahahah!!! i mean, of course there ain't no absolute truth, but generally people here tend to criticize a lot and are not "groupie-minded" the way people can get in other countries... especially for Westcoast artists since Eastcoast is (unfortunatly or not, thats not the point) BY FAR the main influence in France as far as rap is concerned... the other factor is also that French rap scene is VERY developed, and many people here are like "its all about French rap, we don't care about US rap", even if, of course, reality is not always as simple as that...
anyway, dont get me wrong, for God's sake there IS a solid west/midwest/south fans basis, but they're just not the majority... plus show promoters and organizers are mostly stupid cats who don't know shit, lol... if one tells 'em "yo! this rapper is fire in NYC" they gonna bust a nut... if one tells 'em "yo! this rapper is fire in the Bay Area" they gonna say "yeah, so what?"...
thats why its better for Yay artists to contact "real" people who know what its all about... they might not get huge shows with tons of groupie bitches, lol, but at least they'd get serious little shows with serious fans showing love...
since i'm hosting the first (and only) French online radio show based about west/midwest/south rap, i do work with serious show organizers who are "devoted to the cause", lol... my man Raphas got connect's in the Bay (DJ Impereal, Jacka, etc.), i do have too (Assassin, etc.) along with some in L.A. (Crown City Entertainment, Foesum, Big Saccs, etc.)... so if sumthin is being planned for March or some time during Spring, i guess we could help to set up a Paris date for the Tour, thats fo sho...
sorry for the long post (lol),
happy new year yall, btw...
