This board if full of negativity and hate. If you like Yaboy, you should be proud of him. He worked himself into a good situation by showing the work ethic and drive it takes to succeed as an independent artist. All he has to do now is continue that, and he will have an even bigger push. Yaboy is going to be a solid artist outta California for a long time.
What's really sad is that the same ppl on here talking about all the horrible moves YB keeps making would be criticizing him even more if he would have stayed in the Bay. I swear the Bay will be the same forever because of this fuck ass negativity. How is it that niggas can't applaud they own for making moves?..?.. proly cuz it's too much jealousy out here.

A-Wax's people said on here that its not gonna be 'official' until he gets a good buzz goin for him...or somethin like that
That makes sense. Bc some major labels do give a underground rapper they wanna sign or interested in signing a quota (certain amount of units scanned or accomplishment) before they sign them.

Watch them make Ya Boy do the same thang too.

Sounds like he's signed with Konvict to me. Check his new Twitter layout. It's already got the Konvict Music logo on it. He been responding back and forth to fans, rappers and producers on Twitter that been congratulating him for getting the deal. Even Balance and Droop-E mentioned on Twitter he's proud of the dude for getting the deal.

Yea he was rumored to sign with Hoo Bangin and etc, and I knew that shit couldn't have sounded right considering Mack 10 aint even got shit popping with that label now, but this time there's actually a pic of him signing contract papers with legit sources h

This news should be up on Allhiphop.com or something by later today


True shit thanks for clearing that up.I never went to Ya Boys twitter never knew what it was. I was going by the thread starter bc i remember the other 4 threads about him signing.


He gets my props for signing atleast he was blessed with a opportunity.

u gotta point thats why i say YB made a dumb move, all he gonna do is maybe a verse on akon's cd be in the background of videos, hold a chain, rep his sqad and basically be the towel boy. i mean look at whose on his roster right now

Akon
A-Wax
Brick & Lace
Church Boi
Cyhi Da Prynce
French Montana
Glowb
Kardinal Offishall
Ray Lavender
Red Cafe
T-Pain
Rock City
Tariq L.
Lady Gaga
Qwes Kross
Sway
Colby O'Donis
Sarkodie

now Ya Boy .... like i said congrats on gettin a deal but bad move cuz ur gonna be a background player like he was with blackwall street, YBs biggest claim to fame was a verse on Eve's song that didnt do nuthin & bein in the background of the Game's 1 blood video wearin a hoodi and wearin a blackwall street chain


You made a perfect point that I think about it. Bc them brick and lace females was the first ones signed to konvict back in 2004 and they havent dropped no album yet. just one video back on 2005 but album shelved.

imo Ya Boy is better then french montana but he not fucking with red cafe and we all see red hasnt dropped no album yet. Looks liek Akon not worried about his rappers right now he more focused on r&b and pop acts bc him, lady gaga, t-pain, colby o donis, sway all have albums out now

fuck T-Pain he fell off. Akon getting mega paper from lady gaga bc that bitch one the hottest artist right now. i dont like her music bc i gotta admit she doing it to the fullest grammy winner and all.
Yeah... her fan base is different and more diverse.. and her music is accepted by that crowd.

I went with my co workers (females) that love her music here in sf... she got love all around.

So you know they gonna push her music.


As for rappers, I feel hip hop got the worst fanbase for various reasons.

realest shit.

Bc if a rapper gets robbed at gun point(on yung berg tip) then the fans turn on him. I think the thing about rap is artists paint a certain pic image with lyrics that fans expect them to portray in reality.

LOL Mistah F.A.B. is doing more than any other young from the Bay right now as far as national exposure. Being "the next FAB" is not an insult. I'm not calling you a hater, I agree that the term is way too over saturated. I am saying that you are hunting and stating the negative in something that as Bay Area rap fan you should be congratulatory about. The Bay is damn near non-existent as far as national exposure outside a few ppl, and when another finally makes his mark, niggas don't have nothing but negative things to say.

And honestly neither you nor I know the terms of the deal. Whose to say what kind of control YB has in this situation. We're just speculating. YB always said that he ain't signing major if they are gonna put him on the shelf.

koch aka E1 aint that good of a label either they suck at promotion gettin your record out on time and pushin shit before its done this could be a great move or it could do nothin which really wont hurt him since he has done nothin but put mixtapes out if it doesnt work out on konvict then he can do his own this done deal was his best bet but that label is gone

I believe Koch and E1 are two different labels... There was a split thats how E1 came about... I could be wrong about that last part but I know there two different labels

I just don't understand why ppl are throwing salt at the nigga for wanting to become a major label artist. Maybe he doesn't want to be like every other Bay Area rapper....relegated to the independent game because Majors won't fuck with em. If Konvict Music gives YB an adequate chance at excelling on a national stage, yall niggas need to quit talking down and applaud that shit.

I'm sure YB took into consideration all the years he's been having his fans wait for an album to drop. So i'm sure he wouldn't of signed unless there was a recent album drop in line. You haters on here making it seem like he just signed and not took shit into consideration lol. No mattter what like some of the positive feedback he's another bay artist getting nationwide exposure now. We gotta get behind these upcoming westcoast artists making moves if we want the West to be back on top!

Good look Ya Boy do your thing...... You got the FLOW, VOICE and LYRICS to make some serious noise....... Not to mention your on the label with 2 of the biggest hook men in the game........ Keep hustlin stay hungry stay grinding...... Maybe Ya Boy aint waiting on konvict to put him out maybe this was a move to solidify his own Black Card label aligning himself with some certified hit makers........ Like um or not T Pain, Akon and Lady GAGA are or have been killing the music game...... As long as hes able to release music hes in a good position...........
