Should Rap Go Digital? (Blog from StashOnline.com)

thats why niggaz out here need to take it back to real hip hop days! Forget the major, forget the a & r's! just all these cats who really say they are from the hood hit every single block in the hood doing block partys with cds for sale 10 or 8 bucks, settin up posters. Do this in every city and every hood in the bay! if cats really be in the hood, i know they can get some ghetto passes from the hood niggaz to do shows or whatever. but cats really need to take it back to the streets and leave the MAN who controls the shit outta there. He aint comin to the hood. Lets say a rapper is from VAllejo, the Hill side and he promotes a hood function, in a park or something and gets 1000 cats there, sells them cds for 8-10$ a pop thats $10,000 in his pocket tax free. Take it to the crest do the same thing, take it to fairfield, then the rich and so on thats really independent, theres no need to put any songs on the internet or the radio or even t.v cause thats where bootleggin comes about so u x-in out the middle man...all profit

maaaan its too funky in tha bay for niggas to do dat now-a-dayz ....not sayin niggas wasnt dyin left & right back in da days but it was just a few rappers back then with sum talent now niggas goin hard in every city...and if a REAL crest nigga try to push his music he only gone be able to push it in tha norf tha top of tha west maybe in tha hillside if he good and thats about it tha rest of tha hood niggas in Vallejo aint fuckin with'em and when he do ah show even clost to da V 9 times outta ten its gone get shot up and this shit go for every city in tha bay.....niggas is more divided then ever in 07/08

no matter how cheap PCs are there are still alot of people out there without them...and when most people think of buying CDs they think of going to the local music store not signing up an iTunes account and putting a credit card on file to download the songs....everyone around me has a computer and they still buy albums or just grab copies from friends I only have 1 friend who actually buys full albums off iTunes from time to time...who knows, things will probably change in about 5 years. just like everyone use to have pagers and now most people have cell phones, things change.

no matter what though, if i have the option to buy mp3 albums or a real CD i will always prefer to have the CD
