I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH GOLDTOES ABOUT WHAT WENT DOWN AT THE CAR SHOW. HE WANTED ME TO ASK THE FANS FOR THEIR OPINION... NOW THE RADIO DOSENT SUPPORT OUR NORTHERN CALI CHICANO/LATIN RAPPERS. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT 80% OF THE PEOPLE AT CAR SHOWS ARE NORTHERN CHICANOS/LATINS AND THAT 94.9 AND OTHER RADIO STATIONS HAVE NO PROBLEM PUTTIN UP BOOTHS AND SELLING ITEMS TO MAKE MONEY OFF NORTHERN CHICANOS, BUT REFUSE TO PLAY ANY ARTIST WHO IS A "NORTHERN CHICANO/LATIN". DO THE FANS THINK IT IS FAIR FOR THEM TO MAKE MONEY OFF THE LATIN HOMIES WHEN THEY REFUSE TO PLAY LATIN/CHIANO ARTISTS ON THEIR RADIO STATIONS? NOW I DONT WANT TO START AN INTERNET CIVIL WAR SO KEEP THE HATING COMMENTS TO YOURSELF. THIS IS NOT A NORTH VS SOUTH QUESTION SO KILL THAT NOISE. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

In my opinion,sayin fuck the radio and being a rapper is bad business.If your serious about making paper in the rap game you cant shun a avenue for making money.Why limit yourself by excluding an important outlet for getting your music heard.Im mexican,dont bang but have made Victor Zaragoza 2 songs for his shows that get played on saturday and sunday.Sat. for his daytime show and sunday night for his oldies show.No I don't do homeboy rap but im mexican,born and raised in northern cali and got my shit on radio.Rappers who say fuck radio remind me of the cats who claim to rap for the love and dont care about the money.For me,I love Hip Hop and live the life.Music has saved my ass from alot of bullshit.It has also became a business for me.I cant imagine Nike shoes sayin fuck foot locker when that store is an important outlet for them.that would be bad business on their part.Making money off of rap music is a struggle,limiting yourself by eliminating options makes that struggle even harder.

THIZZ LATIN HAS WHOLE ALBUMS THAT ARE RADIO EDITED. THEY HAVE HAD MEETINGS WITH THE PROGRAM DIRECTORS AND DJ'S WHO STILL REFUSE TO PLAY THIZZ LATIN/BLACK N BROWN MUSIC. HOW CAN A RADIO STATION LIKE 97.7 OUT HERE IN STOCKTON PLAY JIMMY ROSES BUT THEY GOT NO LOVE IN THEIR HOME TOWN? AND DONT GET IT TWISTED ITS NOT A BAD BUSINESS MOVE BECAUSE THEY GET NO LOVE THERE ANYWAY SO WHY NOT SAY FUCK EM! AND ITS NOT JUST 94.9, ITS ALL RADIO STATIONS THAT PLAY THAT WATERED DOWN SHIT THAT GET NO REQUESTS BUT REFUSE TO PLAY LOCAL SHIT. PAYOLA RUNS RADIO BUT WE AINT PAYING!
