SAN DIEGO RAP IS IT OVER???
- Thread starter CoopDVill
- Start date
I wasnt going to get into this conversation however, one of the problems that we have (other than hate) is no sense of history. If you look at all the other regions that "blow up". They have established a culture so to speak. They have a reason to shout out their territories and what not. The last few weeks I have got out of the town and you would be suprised who people know of as well as dont know of. Gas- good points homie. Just do what you do, support if you going to support. If not, thats your right to do so as well. Its alot of artist out here doing what they do, whether they make it or not. I know when I see people like Coop, Junk, and E-low out and about -somebody is making some noise. Keep grindin'

Why there's reely isnt an actual sound or scene here cuz what I'm lookin at it is that kids tryin to rap here in Dago are borrowing and then adopting the sounds derived from other regions like Hyphy, Crunk, East Coast, & even reggaeton LOL!!! This is why there's isnt much of an established sound/scene besides the rap that sprung up from Southeast and I'm still lookin like this rap still resides there... smh......
All that really needs to happen is get a street team together.niggas that really believe ur music will make noise and go outta town witit.if niggas don't know who you are or haven't heard u featured on anybody elses songs 99% of the time they aint gon wanna buy your album or mixtape.a lot of niggas don't accept and respect that this rap shit is a slow grind.and that its an investment, so if a nigga don't wanna buy your shit, are you really gonna miss the opportunity to be heard?its a tough situation already as it is comin from daygo where we got so much talent but still struggle to be recogned with.my theory is if you give niggas free shit from time to time and the music is consistant if not better then ur last piece of work.the word 'll spread and niggas will b like "yea I heard dude before he gave me a cd @ this show or in the mall, his shit slap" this aint exactly the same but niggas @ resaurants give samples of new dishes so they can get ppl to order it down the line or on the spot.so I guess the question is, are niggas really out there grindin as much as they say they are? And are the doin it right? Real spittage.get a bar of it

Body: There was a rap show featuring local rappers from San Diego last night. The show was to support unity with the bloods and crips and was even featured in San Diego's Reader magazine. Some shit ended up going down and a security guard got shot in the neck, and people wonder why there is no rap scene in Dago. Its cause muthafuckas don't know how to act in public when they're given the chance.

In Reality, you all are right. It's not about the movement. The movement happends when good musik is put out consistantly. Unfortunately there is no San Diego market as far as rap is concerned. All we can do in reality is rep this. We gotta be Daygo embassadors with this shit and move around. Then once the town hears us bubblin out side of Daygo, they pay attention.....
...We need to come together as a whole. We need to focus on making good MUSIC and leave the dumbshit where its at. Niggas need to support one another and take the cheat off. Some niggas wanna act like its still 1985 and shit. When it comes to doin music some cats need to leave the street shit in the streets. Don't fuck up the whole program for everybody.
