Southwestbound is too long to me, it sounds clumsy.

You don't have to name it something with West Coast or Southwest in the title cuz you're gonna see that by the cover story and the artists listed on the cover. If you're gonna change it I would use something more major sounding and not specific to any geographic region i.e. Rap Pages, XXL, Vibe, Rap Sheet, The Source, etc.

Man, I do appreciate all of the opinions.

Mac: You know where I came up with the WESTBOUND title of course. Thats been in my head for years. And yeah, lets get that new album reviewed and get an interview done for you.

Doxx: I would be honored to have you get down you know that already.

Miggidy: Thats real game.

Rhythm X-Man: Im going to see you before I cut out from the Bay. Me and Celly are going to come check you out. Ill hit you tommorow.

Everyone else, right on for the support and opinions. They will not be taken lightly.

As for our readership, we are trying to be geared to the West Coast and Southwest and Northwest just because of our own affiliations. This magazine isnt for us to amke a ton of money or even knock anyone elses shit. We just want to create another outlet for our people here in those regions.

The East Coast got their own thing going between XXL and The Source. Murder Dog has the South on lock and Showcase has come along way to be the premier "free commercial publication". Xplosive is tight as fuck too!

We dont want to compete with any of them. Just our own slice. Its just kinda something we always wanted to do. Believe me, owning a magazine is something like an indie label nowdays, its tough. Ask Doxx, 4080 or any of our predecessors.

Either way, right on! Peace.

I read the first issue..... good stuff, , , I also agree to make the title something very broad and let the customer find out what the magazine is all about by looking at the artists featured in the issue.

I haven't seen the first issue yet but when I hear the name SouthWestBound, I think of only the SouthWest region. WestBound is good but then again the magazine focuses on more than just the West right? Like Mac said earlier, think of a more universal name.

Later!!

If suggest you change it. Southwestbound is a tight name but the problem is it makes your magazine to regional unless thats what your goin for. say you find a cat out in NY with mad flow and you want to do an article about him, well then the people that normally subscribe to the mag will be like 'wtf i thought this was just gonna be a southwest mag' and people from the eastcoast wont be interested because they think its strickly south and western music ya dig?

B12 PERSONALLY I THINK THE NAME COULD BE HOTTER. LIKE MAC SAID THAT SOUNDWEST BOUND KINDA SOUNDS LIKE ITS LIMITED TO ONLY WESTCOAST OR SOUTH REGIONS. U NEED A NAME THAT CAN APPEAL TO A NATIONWIDE AUDIENCE. SOMETHING SMALL N CATCHY, BUT AGAIN THATS JUST MY OPINION. BUT REGARDLESS, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ISSUES. I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED TO ADVERTIZE SLO-O NEXT ALBUM IN THERE. WE RECENTLY DID A SONG WIHT ALLEN ANTHONY(ROCAFELLA) SHIT CAME OUT HOT, LOOKIN FOR DISTRIBUTION TOO. HOLLA

WHO EVER SUGGESTED "MOVEMENT", THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD FOR A MAG NAME.
