why is the bay so late at making videos?

[regimeforlife]

i noticed that whenever there is a hit, or was a hit, bay rappers ar waaayy to late to put out a video and push the song. if you have a hit , shouldnt you make a video fast and push it??? just remembering san quinn- hell yeah came way after the hype of the song, also keak- super hyphy video came after the hype, i just read keak shot a video for "that go" lol, wtf is that going to do, the song is past now..

also, i think now is a good time for jacka to have a video for all over me.

 

[SteadyMobbin]

I couldnt agree more

 

[5-Dime NwK]

because they need the money to make a video
my guess would be they put out the album, make the money, then make the video.
they need to learn from Richie Rich and get some property so they can stay breaded between albums hah

it's only old to the bay but fresh to the rest of the country

Thats true...but most of these artists' music doesn't get far past the bay. I'd like to see videos at the peak of a songs popularity.

Very true, I think it really is a financial issue tho.

Most of the artist in the Bay are independent & won't have the money till the hype of the song. & even sometimes when u do have money backin u, majors/investors don't wanna make the video till they KNOW its a 4 sure a hit.

do YOU have the money to pay for a video? maybe your favorite rappers dont either... Videos aint cheap...at least for quality.

 

[HyphyAintDead]

Most artist wih videos don't pay for them up front like Bay artist. They have Major backing, marketing teams, ect. I give the Bay artist credit for even trying to put something out on there own, no radio love and no label pushing the product.

 

[leftcoast415]

Makes sense...I didn't even think about the financial part of it.

 

[D.E.O.]

And alotta people think it wont get play.. but MONEY is the main issue off top!

 

[P.M.E.]

i don't even know if there are companies out in the bay who shoot videos.....maybe i'm wrong....if u know some put it up.

A video that doesn't get pass youtube or Mtv jams is just like not having a video at all....."Don't Spill It"-FAB, "Ugghh Remix"-Hoodstarz, "What You Want"-Frontline, "From the Hood- Traxamillion", and countless other very professional quality videos out the bay that got no mainstream love....Why even Bother????

its the same way in the south half them new cats be comin out wit videos to songs that was gettin play in they own region 4 a while its jus new to the rest of the world

 

[usernamex]

Whats the point?

Its a local hit... what local video market is there?

DVD's is about it.

yeah i can agree wit that cuz most of the now popular south artist have been out wit slaps for a while and there videos have been seen but mostly locally and when it gets to the mainstream its all new so its whatever..

but a lot of people are on point the financial side of bay area artist might not be up to par to make a good video..but i respect the independent grind i think its also about jus gettin ur name out there and makin hits cuz most songs are straight slaps and it wont matter if tlhere was a video

 

[beetle-831]

The video should always come out first. but where would the video come out on.

 

[radiostationrep]

It's not always like that, but it can make sense to wait. People want to make sure it's worth making a video.

Bay Videos are boring to me right now. I remember the excitement on siccness when E-40's Tell me when to Go was coming out. Actually bay music is boring right now. Even E-40's Turf Drop never got any play.
