You guys ain't beastin on shit...the only reason people listen to your cd's is because of guest appearances. You guys suck by yourselves... And trust me you ARE NOT DOPE... Look in the mirror. Major record labels will not try to sign you guys. You guys have no marketing credibility.

i thought you never heard of us? u needa hug? i know i know we hurt haters feelings...did i leave kids in your ladies mouth? mothafucka you can't tell me im not dope go listen to my music i make quality shit you might not like it but you can't say my shit aint clean. "look in the mirror" you know what i see when i look in the mirror? a fly mothafucka and money haha..from the anger and hate in your posts it seems to me you must be a "Rapper" who tried to get on our mixtapes but your shit was weak so we denied you. step your life game up. we beastin.

There's plenty of cats out here that are puttin' quality music together every day. The problem is, for every cat that is dope, there are 15 who aren't. I've also noticed most San Jose rappers get their recognition in other regions...most of us don't follow trends, we do our own shit...which 86'es us from the bay scene almost every time. I get love in San Jose, and from some spots throughout the bay...but I get most of my sales and support from the South (So Cal. and the dirty), Midwest, East Coast, the UK and Japan!

About the crime rate, a lot of it is kept on the hush, but I'm personally happy to be from a place where everybody isn't killing each other on a daily basis. Where's the pride in that? (I'm from San Jo', and we smoke each other every muthafuckin day........sorry, but that's just a fuckin retarded outlook). As soon as the rest of the bay realizes that San Jo' is about MONEY, we will get our love out here. The cost of living exceeds what we make, so we have to keep our minds right 98% of the time...stay sharp, and survive. It may be hard not to get shot in some places, but it's even harder to stay focused and support yourself and your family without fuckin' up.

Oh, and it's pretty difficult to get shows and shit in your hometown when people come from other spots and fuck up all the events with gunplay or other bullshit!

ofcourse this would be ur oppinion. that there hella dope artist out here,

YOU SUCK.

IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR GONNA SUCK FOREVER. BUT KEEP PRACTICING. AND CHANGE SUMTHIN.
CAUSE UR SHIT IS REALLY BAD.

to put it rather cruedly.

****ROYALTY****
YALL ALREADY KNOW. DUDE IS SUPER MARKETABLE., RAPS ARE MEDIOKER,

PERSONALLY I HATE HIS SHIT.

****GRUFF****
RAPS ARE COO. CONTENT IS DATED,DELIVERY IS GOOD, BUT THERES NUTHIN REALLY SPECIAL ABOUT HIM. VOICE IS SUPER AVERAGE
AND HE'S NOT MARKETABLE.

****PLAYA RAE****
HE'S TIGHT, BUT HE'S A DOWN SOUTH COPY CAT, I KNOW HE SYATED DOWN THERE, BUT WHEN AMERICA FINDS OUT WHERES HE'S FROM AND WHAT HE REPRESENTS. THERE NOT GONNA UNDERSTAND HIS STYLE OF MUSIC.
AND HE IS PRETTY MARKETABLE.

****THE FACULTY/SAV CLICK****
TOO HYPHY FOR NO DAMN APERENT REASON, I GUESS THIER MARKETABLE IN THE SENSE THAt they got money and stay fly and flossin.
BUT I ONLY HEAR ONE OF THEM THAT LYRICALLY TALENTED AND COULD STAND ALONE AND SHINE.

****AK-N9NE****
HE HAS EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM. GOOD VOICE, GOOD SONGS, DOPE LYRICS, O.K DELIVERY, MARLETABLE FOR BEING SUPER GRIMEY, DUDE LOOKS LIKE A MURDERER,LOL BUT I THINK HE HAS WAT IT TAKES., HE JUST NEEDS A GOOD LABEL BEHIND HIM WITH MONEY.
1ST CD SUCKED
2ND CD WAS PRETTY DAMN GOOD

****SILENCE****
HIS RAPS ARE O.K, AND HE'S VERY MARKETABLE. AS LONG AS HE FINDS A DISTINCT SWAG, VOICE IS KOO, DELIVERY IS A LIL SLOPPY, BUT I DONT SEE ANYTHING REALLY SPECIAL ABOUT HIM.

****ENORMOUS THE OX****
HE'S TIGHT, GREAT VOICE, GOOD LYRICS, GOOD DELIVERY, BUT ALL IVE REALLY HEARD FROM HIM IS MIXTAPE JOINTS,I THINK HIS HYPHY STUFF SUX,.THAT BATTLE STUFF IS NOT A GOOD LOOK THOW.

****DC THE KING****
HE'S KOO. VOICE IS GOOD, DELIVERY COULD BE BETTER, LYRICS ARE ALRIGHT, GOOD PUNCHLINES THOW. KINDA MARKETABLE.

****KILLA SHARKS****
THERE KOO AS A WHOLE., BUT THEY JUST REP SAN JO WAY TOO HARD, AND THERE SONGS 90% OF THE TIME ARE ALL ABOUT SAN JOSE, THEY MAAKE SAN JOSE SOUND WAY TOO GANGSTA.
AND THESE NOT A SOLO ARTIST IN THEM THAT STANDS OUT.

****TRAJIK1****
YOU DONT REALLY SOUND LIKE A PROFESSIONAL RAPPER, YOU SOUND YOUNG
AND UN EXPERIENCED.

****STAYNLESS****
LYRICS ARE DOPE, VOICE KOO, DELIVERY IS SUPER WACK
VERY MARKETABLE THOW, ALL I HEARD IS MIXTAPE STUFF THOW.

****SIR-MOJ****
WACK. OUTDATED, LYRICS ARE TERRIBLE

****TEKPOT****
NOT MARKETABLE AT ALL.
DELI8VERY IS GOOD, BEATS SUCK, LYRICS ARE TOO BACKPACK, AND PLAIN.
BOTH OF HIS CD'S SUCKD.

****SMITTY GRANDS/JAYSMITH****
TOTAL PACKAGE. BUT COULD USED A MARKETING CONSULTANT. AND NEEDS MORE PROMOTION. I ONLY KNOW ABOUT HIM BECAUSE I PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. I NEVER HEAR ABOUT HIM.

****JADA J****
NOT FEELIN HIM AT ALL. WAY OUTDATED,
NOT MARKETABLE.

****JIGSAW/JIGALLO***
WAY TOO HYPHY OUTTA NOWHERE. VERY MARKETABLE. BUT WENT WAY OFF THE THE LEFT WIT THE SUPER HYPHY APPROACH. OLD STUFF WAS HOT. AND SHOULD HAVE DONE BIGG THANGS.

****GATO MAS LOCOS****

****KOMOTOSE****
I THINHE'S KOO, BUT HIS DELIVERY IS ORIGINAL BUT I DONT LIKE TI PERSONNALY. LYRICS ARE ALRITE.
VERY MARKETABLE



BUT NO ONE HAS REALLY DONER ANYTHING TO STAND OUT.

NO RADIO PLAY., NO HIT SONGS. NO CLASSIC ALBUMS. ROYALTY IS PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST SUCCESS STORY SO FAR, AND THEN ASSASSIN IN THE PAST.

THERES ALOT OF WACK ASS MUSIC THAT HAS BEEN PUT OUT, BUT SUM ONE NEEDS TO PUT TOGETHER A SUPER DOPE QUALITY ALBUM WIT OUT AMILLION FEATURES. AND GET SUM REAL MONEY BEHIND THEM

THE FIRST PERSON TO GET IN HEAVY ROTATION WIT AN ORIGINAL HIT SONG WILL BE THE ONE PUT SJ ON THE MAP. UNTIL THEN. WELL.

BUT THATS ALL JUST MY OPPINION.

I didn't say there are HELLA DOPE ARTISTS out here, I said there are plenty of cats that make quality music. Young Just, Young D, Thunderhut, James Stewart, KillahMo, etc....cats that nobody knows because they don't have their ears to the pavement.

Thanks for your opinion though, it's appreciated. I've said myself that I suck.....HERE! I don't make music that caters to the Bay scene, and that was a major part of my point. The cats that nobody out here knows about, don't make shit that folks out here are used to...so we seek fanbases in other spots. It works for us, because we refuse to change who we are to be accepted in one region.

Oh, and AK-9ine's first joint was hard as fuck....just my opinion.

I will keep your opinion in mind though when I write my next track.

san jo is the bay area...anything past campbell it's not the bay area...

i can't lie tho...san jo does have some good music...the thing is..cats from the surrounding areas are giving them a bad name...

like how u gonna be "Tha King Of The 408" when you live in Gilroy? LOL

this is why us bay folks can't take the south bay serious..cuz you all let cats like that run around reppin your region and making yall look like clowns..

i mean..one person looks don't speak for everyone..but it does make others think everyone else from the 408 (san jo) are like that..

and believe me..i do have a lot of respect for san jo artist...the real ones that is..

please im the person that fuckin signs people like you to major deals. I got 5 houses all around the united states. My credibility is higher than yours will ever be. So when you come begging to get signed and recognized don't be suprise when you come on bending knees to me like boyz ii men asking for plugs. I work at def jam and i know people at bad boy personally asking for my opinion on bay area artists and the direction it's going. You think your making money. But your money is like chump change to me. What you see in one pay check i spent in vegas in 30 mins. So you think your fly but your ass has never even taken off. Ask the average person from the bay area and they will tell you they never heard of your ass. Well as I post this in New York good luck finding a major label to sign you.

Producer G-Roc dropped major heat on his comp. Did he ever drop anything else or produce anyone's album? PGR is dope too. But beats is the reason San Jo ain't that dope to me.

Seriously, idiots attribute the "Bay Area" to its rap culture. Dummies it's a fucking region, LMAO @ San Jo ain't the bay, get the fuck outta here.
