In an industry filled with coastal bias, it's about time someone from the West Coast, more importantly the Bay Area, was given the opportunity to shed light on our side of things. Welcome to a West Coast State of Mind, where I'm only bias sometimes, but at least I'll admit it. - ill Will ([email protected])

So I got my tongue down this chick’s throat (pronounced chtroat), right?...........
I know...........
NO. I KNOW!!!!!!!!! It’s fu*ked up. I don’t have a good excuse either. If it counts for anything, I wrote 2 WCSM’s since the last, I just ended up scrapping them. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been a lil’ uninspired, plus a lot distracted. Here’s a rundown of what’s been up.
• Keak Da Sneak-25,000 soundscanned
• Messy Marv-7,000 in 3 weeks, radio’s just starting to pick
up
• See my name in the XXL?
• Showcase Magazine is kicking more ass than usual
• I’ve recently become addicted to Socom 2.
• And there’s also a bunch of other cool shit, but who cares about that…….
Your boy’s definitely got a meeeeeeeeeean swagger right now. I ain’t gon’ lie either, for a few month’s I didn’t wanna write anymore. Well, I still don’t. I’ve come to realize that I hate journalists, and I don’t wanna be one anymore. For the record most are extremely fake, hella dumb and hella gay (even the ones who claim to be the streets)
I’ve become a music fan again and it’s great. I buy cd’s that cost $11.99 and I love it. BUT……………. There is a bunch of wack shit crackin’ off right now. The number one thing is G-G-G-G-GAY-Unit!!! First off, I thought we rid the world of Ja Rule and his R&BeGay. I guess not though since his ghost found a new bullet riddled body and his crew!!!!!!!! The fact that every 50 Cent and G-Unit single has turned into a love song is bothering the fuck outta me. Joe Buddens cracked me the fuck up when he called them the “5 Heartbeats”
Speaking of Joe, does anybody really give a shit about him and Game’s beef? Not I. They’re both not that nice. Matter of fact, I’m not feelin’ how New York’s painting him as some west coast savior (that’s the second time they’ve done it). Let US make that decision and the jury’s still out. Dr. Dre makes great records, but he doesn’t speak for most Californian’s. Now I’m all for resurrecting our movement, but let’s just say I’m a little weary that he’s our Neo.
Also, just when I thought it was cool to be white in the Hip-Hop industry, our 2 posterboys, Em and Justin had to go and fuck shit up for every 13year old with baggy pants. Is there any black people who AREN’T in the music business that doesn’t think Eminem is a racist???
Do I think he’s a racist? No. Do I understand why people are upset? Yeah. Now Justin….that’s a little less, black and white, for lack of a better phrase. The people who took the fall, shouldn’t have. If MTV produced that show than THEY should’ve been held responsible. The boustiee did not get made by itself. Justin didn’t make it. He just did what every guy dreams off…expose Janet Jackson’s titty. If someone would’ve asked me to do it, you bet your muthafuckin’ ass I would. But you know what It’s retarded that the whole situation blew up like it did.
Since we’re talking about race….Dave Chapelle is GOD….for now at least.
Speaking of God, Lets take a break to thank him for a few things.
• Beyonce
• T.I.’s success
• Von Dutch’s 15 minutes being up
• My MTV HITS music channel
• Socom 2
• my life
• Beyonce…again
But I’d also like to send a big “Why God Why?” to the big guy for Dre scrapping Detox. I’d much rather hear Busta and Eve written rhymes spit by Dre, rather than those two rappin’ themselves.
Oh and btw, The Grey Album is one giant over-hyped piece of sh*t. Yeah I said it. People are just in love with the concept of it. I’ll admit it, it’s cool– but that shit ain’t tight.
In closing I’d like to remind everyone that the Bay Area is getting kinda hot right now. Shout out to Keak, Messy, E-A-Ski (& CMT), Frontline, E-40, San Quinn, Balance, Kee, FAB, the chick form American Idol, Ryan Duarte, One Vo1ce, hell even Baby Bash….yeah he’s from Vallejo. He ain’t that tight but, I’m glad he’s successful.
Oh, yeah, it’s still Fuck Everbody too!!!
