What happened with the SF anthem Video?

[Doc Truth]

What more could those faggots at Viacom want? You should put Lil wayne in the video, then they'd be all over it.

lol. 4real, I don't really watch MTV/BET all that much anymore, but I was watching yesterday and they were playin' sum bullshit that made the "TOP 10" on 106 & Park. That "Lookin' Boy" or w/e the fuck it's called was like #2. & I think that Nelly"Stepped on my J's" was up there too. Ciara looked bad as hell, but that kinda bullshit music that I've never heard in my life gets way more play than a legit song w/ a cool vid to go with it.

 

[MuneyHongry650]

Amen

BET is for kids 8-17 years old. We need a new music video channel for those 18+....or at least those who like good music instead just what the new trend is....but yeah, thats not gonna happen.

something that appeals to the mass public

I agree the video is great... and that there is a lot of bullshit on TV today...

but you can't really expect this shit to blow up all over TV

not many outside the Bay really give a fuck about this video

sad truth, but I really don't think it's gonna blow up

now a song like E-40's new one with Akon... that could possibly blow up again... not the greatest song in the world... but it has mass appeal

however, by this point I really don't give a shit if the Bay blows up

I mean... if all these artist get signed to major deals they're just gonna have more people telling em what kinda music to make... as long as they stay independent they can make the kinda shit that real rap fans out here wanna listen to

 

[Rusto]

maybe it hasnt "premiered" on the networks yet

But Welcome To "Atlanta" was something to give a fuck about?

Ludacris and especially JD were well known at that point. These are three relevatively unknowns outside of the west coast

Still don't change the fact that I don't give a fuck about hearing a song about Atlanta. I don't care who's on it. I'm sure most people in other area's don't either but Music execs shove this shit down our throats.

 

[MuneyHongry650]

^same goes for that "New York, New York" song


oh yeah, this song has much more mass appeal than the former

 

[BOLO]

yeah have they even debuted it yet or what??? as far as the bay "blowing up" i doubt it will ever happen in the way that a lot of us die hard bay area rap fans envisioned it would or should...at this point i dont give a shit if they bay "blows up" i just want to see more of my favorite bay rappers on TV, PERIOD

 

[Meta4iCAL]

exactly

I mean out of the people on that song... Quinn is the only one who is even REALLY popular out here... Big Rich is known by most real Bay Rap fans... but he isn't near Quinn's level

the other guy... is his name Boo Banger or somethin? Honestly I've never heard of him until that song... maybe I'm just late...

the example of JD and Luda... they're both mroe well known on a national level

and New York New York... Jada, Ja Rule, and Fat Joe are all famous on a national level as well

 

[D.E.O.]

Now that they have been playing the video all day what more could you ask for? But I bet the people bashing the song/video will still have sucka shit to say and just can't be happy for hard workin Bay niggaz? It made it to TV, but If we don't support it, the video won't move further..
