honestly this thread is weak ass fuck. and for the niggaz sayin mac dre yuk and messy is over rated is hatin on the fact the the bay is underrated.
So if someone isn't riding Mac Dre, Yuk or Messy's dick, they're a hater? Get the fuck outta here with that nonsense. And the bay is underrated says who? You? That ain't fact, it's just your opinion which ain't any more or less valid than the next mans.
Lets keep it real if niggaz from the bay would drop they hood image and make radio cutz it a b alot of artist out here eatin but since niggaz dont do that they gotta hype they album and promote it hard cause the only place they gon sell records is in the bay.
Ok, let's 'keep it real'... A lot of bay music is localized. Do you expect someone in say Atlanta to be bangin' music that's geared towards Frisco? Do you bang music made for St. Louis? I'm guessing you don't give a fuck about St. Louis just like most people outside the bay don't give a fuck about the bay... Or any city that they don't live in for that matter.
And you ALWAYS have to promote your album no matter what if you want it to sell.
if u a real bay nigga and you wanna make money you gon do it on your own instead of sining to a big label ( like the game) and only get penny's off an album instead of getting 10 bucks a cd.
Would you rather get $.25/cd and sell 2,000,000 or get $10/cd and sell 20,000? Would you rather be in position where you can expand in other areas such as acting, endorsements, etc.. or would you rather be stuck hoping that all the same regional sales you got last time are going to repeat this time around?
Do the math homie, it's real simple. You'll find out real quick that someone like The Game's hustle is about 1000x stronger than your favorite local rapper.
the bay is where the independent rap scene is and will always b.
You want it to stay independant but you want it to have commercial limelight & success. You want everybody and their mama praising the bay. It don't work like that. Don't expect to receive without giving up something to get it. That's just common sense before anything else.
its so many nigaz out here that been through the streets and got shit to say so dont hatew on the next nigga get on his album and make money and thats just how we eat out here.
Outside of a small handful of people, who do you believe is actually eating off music? What are the chances that your favorite rapper pays his rent with drug money, 9-5 money, or any other money than from music?
Im a Frisco nigga till i die and the bay area is where i ride so on sum real shit for niggaz to say yuk mess and (R.I.P) Mac dre are over rated i feel dissrespected for these niggaz cause these are niggaz that i listen 2 and these is niggaz that i feel and for niggaz to disrespect 3 bay area legends like that is the weakest shit ever.
Why would someone in some other city give a fuck if you ride for Frisco? Why would someone in some other city give a fuck about who
you think are local legends? Why should someone in any other city give a fuck about a Mac Dre, or a Yukmouth or a Messy Marv? You think say the Bronx should ride their dick? Or how about this... Who from the Bronx are you jockin' right now?
dont disrespect a legend honor a legend cause just like mac dre we losing to many people we look up too.
You don't actually believe you get to decide who's a legend in someone elses eyes do you? I hope not.
we gotta get on the same page and fuck with eachother then try 2 bring eachother down.
If I ain't feelin' your shit, I ain't fuckin' with you. It don't matter if you're my next door neighbor or from Mars! I don't support, reward or promote wack shit. End of story.
would u go to war with each other or bring this shit together and go to war with the industry? cause like the mac done said The bay " is 2 hard for the fuckin radio"
Go to war with the industry? That's about the stupidest shit I've read in a while. You obviously don't understand how the game works.
It all boils down to this... You're entitled to your opinions but don't expect ANYONE to give a fuck what you think. Especially if they live somewhere else. And if you're getting hurt feelings over what someone else
thinks, that just shows how brittle you are. I don't have emotions about what the next man thinks so it's impossible for his opinions get me upset. Some cats might be built like that but I ain't one of them.
You said you wanted to keep it real...
