Title: What do Westcoast Websites Lack?
Post by: SO PRUP on December 09, 2008, 10:28:13 PM
I've been sitting here trying to figure out what westcoast websites lack, not taking away from anyone cuz sites like dubcnn do there thing.  But what is it that these sites are doing wrong, because nobody out west is really blowing up like they need to.  Is it the fact that there only really pushing to the west and not expanding to other regions?  I don't no, I'll post my thoughts in a second.

what i think is lacking from westcoast websites is the knowledge of all west coast music. some websites only post what they know and don't explore all areas on the west. a good westcoast site will cover all the regions of music that is offered . places that are not covered alot  sacramento san dieago  orgean Washington and I'm sure there is more.

you can count those on one hand. In a way it's good for dubcnn.com that Eddie is gone now because Eddie seems to heavily support mixtape DJ's. Now that he is gone I don't see as much Ill Will and the rest of those music rapists on the site.

+1 For sure! I have read a few of your posts and your on point!

Also people focussing too much on beefs that rappers make up to sell their next album which are like bad episode of Jerry Springer! People should share a love of the music like this guy not focus on who their fav rapper is feuding with...

what they lack is normal posters and posts... if you take a look at the threads here, most of them repeat the same questions such as "when is detox coming out?"  "who is going to be on detox"!?!     "whats snoop doggs 2nd best album after doggystyle?" and bullshit threads like that...
Pretty much it seems like the westcoast fans only care about certain rappers like Dre and Snoop

I have seen only { E. B. K.} 4 click clack GANG make any Bay Area related posts.... I mean e40 and san quinn's new albums came out but there is almost no discussion about them

I mean even look at the thread about e40 new video, there are only 3 posts..... let's say Dre released a video.. you think it would only have 3 posts?

Let's face it..... Most westcoast fans only care about Dr Dre, Snoop and only care about G funk old sound which is Dead, also a lot of them are from europe so they dont realize that style is DEAD in the states. Most of the westcoast fans are stuck in the past and don't want westcoast rap to evolve.


That's my opinion, take it with grain of salt

well I think they try to focus on too much, rather than spend more energy towards a smaller focused group.  I mean I remember back in the day when I checked out sites, and there wasn't updates everyday...and updates were not so huge...and the amount of songs for download was a small amount.  Now I go to dubcnn and everyday its updated with just a ton of information, a shitload of new artists each month, and a shitload of songs to download.  I don't know about you guys, but I don't have the time to check out all that, so I say fuck it, and only check out artist who I have liked for many years.  My time is valuable, and I don't have the time to waste listening, or checking out an artist who is wack, or subpar.

Now, I really am not trying to attack anyone on dubcnn personally, but imo when every artist update is talked about as being a hot up and comer w/ major skills...well, to put it bluntly, the site just lost some credibility for me, because imo, most shit that comes out these days is wack, and not worth listening to.  I think if the people were a bit more harsh on the screening of the artists that they are promoting, and had less on there, I think then fans would be able to focus their attention and time on those artists.  Just my opinion, not right not wrong, just the way I feel.

Stop posting music from these worn out artists (Crooked I...) and look for new artists that are underground but crazy.

Crooked I brings heat... and new artists do get featured, but a lot of times they don't bring heat.

G. Malone is good, but isn't featured much, which pays off because that makes you appreciate new material more. I don't consider him new though.
Jay Rock is good, but has only one outstanding song (I've most of his songs featured on Dubcnn.com, so I can judge him properly).

but like i said: as far as dubcnn goes, it's good that Eddie left because he posted a lot of crap although I don't believe he listens to it.

^^ While I dig Crooked I's music, he's definitely overexposing himself with them freestyle drops. If he'd cut back on dropping freestyles and actually focus on creating actual songs with original production and dropping them every so often, then that'd be a better look for him.

Yes, we know Crook, you can freestyle your ass off, but it's starting to bore me.

For me it ain't about what the West lacks in a website. It's about dropping actual albums. These so-called "New West" dudes need to start dropping their albums. No more mixtapes. Take a chance and expect very little, because nobody is selling like they used to. Just focus on appealing to what little fan bases you have while they still care.

Fuck a website. Fuck a mixtape. Gimme an album.

Chuuuuch!!!!!!

I think Westcoast Websites are missing the west coast.... not enough advertisement, not enough participation, and not enough west-coast...... look at Dub CNN.... half the shit talked about ain't necessarily Westcoast, and even the stuff that is, is simple shit, only the artist that talk about Dubb CC or glorify some bullshit street life that they ain't even tryin to live..... Let's keep it real, there's a lot of variety on the West coast and the vast majority of it is untouched by web-based journalism...... More importantly most west-coast websites are ran by people who could give a fuck less about the west coast.....

i feel what you guys are saying as far as showing love to new people cuz its pretty obvious a lot of sites wont show a new cat love but will jump all over a snoopdogg feature even though we've all known about him for almost 15+ years.  but at the same time when a site does post something about a new cat it is usually overshadowed.  Is it the way the website is pushing the guy?  should they take that extra step besides just posting a news article?

i love the idea of other parts of the west getting love!  Me myself have been trying to get a movement going from cali 2 colorado and everything in between (including hawaii and alsaska)  but I've had a lot of trouble.  i look at the south and see people rapping with cats from georgia and there from texas, or a guy rapping from kentucky with a guy from mississippi.  thats real unity, i figure it would take some rappers to push the movement but if all westcoast sites pushed that as the norm it could be real big.  take the coast off the west and push something that can help the west.

even though rappers aren't doing there jobs when it comes to putting out albums, these westcoast sites arent doing what theyre supposed to be doing either.  because obviously the west still isnt cracking so is it maybe time to try something new?  Cuz what everyone is doing now, rappers, producers, managers, sites, etc isn't working.

co sign this as well......... also i hate to say it as well casue i really do like that gangsta shit but nigga need to dig deeper than just that .......... i also hate to quote that fuckin cop Rick Ross but it got to be deeper that rap as well ........... and you made a excellent point about niggaz not link up with other acts in other states ......... maybe it's becasue some cali artist may feel that a nigga in AZ(yeah niggaz southern AZ ....) ain't really westcoast or what ever......... that gotta to stop ......... but i think that you are right about niggaz from other states ( espeically in southern AZ......) just being lazy......... i got some niggaz that i think have a gain of talent but would sit at home and make cd and pass or sell them here but won't try to take there product some where else .........  but on a side note .............. keepin doin what you are doin tuslic......... haven't had a chance to listen to your show but i goin to get around to when i get a new computer( i'm at work and my computer is broke at home.......... it a recession nigga)......... butr i can respect the hustle and the drive

Really other then here and WCRydaz there are not alot of west coast websites. Back in the day you had a ton of wc sites but at the end of the day as fucked up as this sounds, it again is subjective.

i think one of the problems is that this westcoast artists promote more mixtapes than actual albums...they be droppin mixtapes all the times...to me mixtapes r just for lazy rappers who don't feel like taking the time to fuck with producers... cats need to drop e.p's and l.p's enstead of mixtapes...and i feel u about the region shit cuz the I.E.

Yea we gotta change the entire mindset of the west for these sites, these rappers and gotta get the fans realizing that we're on this new movement.  I luv the I.E movement, I been bumpin that album you did with Yasin since you sent it to me, I even pulled out that old S.O.P album and have been bumping that.  Its funny cuz when people bring up the region shit everyone with it but nobody wants to get started with it.  Cant never get exclusives, I've got so many tracks then the next day I see there on some other project or some other website.  Cats gotta stop being lazy with this mixtape shit, I feel ya on that.

If anyone serious about trying something new as far as this westcoast shit and maybe getting this Western Regional shit cracking get at me!   The info in my sig!

dubcnn do there thing no doubt but at the same time nobody out west is doing it big so its something these sites, along with these rappers and etc aren't doing right....
i think one of the problems is that this westcoast artists promote more mixtapes than actual albums...they be droppin mixtapes all the times...to me mixtapes r just for lazy rappers who don't feel like taking the time to fuck with producers... cats need to drop e.p's and l.p's enstead of mixtapes...and i feel u about the region shit cuz the I.E. Hardly gets love...and trust me..we got alot more talented artists here compared to other areas...another thing that i noticed..alot of westcoasts websites only support upcoming artist that some how have a link with snoop and dre....

Yea we gotta change the entire mindset of the west for these sites, these rappers and gotta get the fans realizing that we're on this new movement.  I luv the I.E movement, I been bumpin that album you did with Yasin since you sent it to me, I even pulled out that old S.O.P album and have been bumping that.  Its funny cuz when people bring up the region shit everyone with it but nobody wants to get started with it.  Cant never get exclusives, I've got so many tracks then the next day I see there on some other project or some other website.  Cats gotta stop being lazy with this mixtape shit, I feel ya on that.

If anyone serious about trying something new as far as this westcoast shit and maybe getting this Western Regional shit cracking get at me!   The info in my sig!

preach!

yeah i agree with u on those mixtapes thats rappers use nothing but industry beats but now alotta people using the mixtapes as street albums with all original product....i think thats a better route to go and the artist can still benefit from it and press them up....and on the i.e. tip get at me jynxx imma put together an i.e. tape and showcase all the different talent we have out here...

All a site can do at the end of the day is push and promote the project. If the fans don't respond to it, they just don't respond to it.

I've been sitting here trying to figure out what westcoast websites lack, not taking away from anyone cuz sites like dubcnn do there thing.  But what is it that these sites are doing wrong, because nobody out west is really blowing up like they need to.  Is it the fact that there only really pushing to the west and not expanding to other regions?  I don't no, I'll post my thoughts in a second.

The main thing they lack (like every other rap/hip hop website) is good music to talk about that isn't 10+ years old.

lol homie marketing the fuck out of cubanlust, lol..I know that bird

but back on subject, west coast websites lack that hot shit.  really, fuck Snoop Dog and these old OG niggahs, we need to lift up our current West Coast movements, and the current artist reppin' hard, and the current unheard of artist, the west coast websites should make it their job to get hot unheard of artist exposurer!  West Coast Websites should be bringing us the news, and the new music from the streets! and keep it 100 with their west coast community!

im tired of seeing shit about 2pac and all these old rappers especially the washed up ones,or the mediocre new ones.i want to hear about quality artists!cause i wont spend my hard earn money on garbage releases.i dont give a damn about detox,or crooked i,cause of right now the only west coast hip hop that im listening to or checking out is
;strong arm steady,sick symphonies[psycho realm ,street platoon],self scientific,dialated peoples,murs,ice cube,wc,legion of slugs[produced by big duke of psycho realm],
planet asia,anything soul assassins affiliated,taje and anything quality out there.im pretty open minded when it comes to music so i give everthing a second listen,ive deleted shitloads of these free mixtapes on the internet cause there garbage,not hating but im a music collector ,cd,vinyl,etc.i want to hear quality west coast hip hop.

Mr. Spade,
Crooked I lyrically would eat half the people on your somewhat-limited listed of West Coast favorites.....

If you ran a westcoast website, it would be just as one demensional as any of these other sites, but it would talk all about the small list of westcoast artists that you actually like...... that, my friend, is one of the main problems with the West Coast internet presence now....

The idea of this thread is to find the missing link to making a "United" west-coast representation on the web.... Not just the few people that you deem "quality artists".....

And with such a small list, that doesn't include some of the great thinkers in West Coast Hip-Hop... people such as Zion I (though I did catch your Planet Asia shout out), Free Speech, Raas Kaas and Wing, you seem to have an extremely narrow picking of Hip-Hop and an extremely restricted view of what "quality music" is.......


no hate, just truth, take it how you wanna, hopefully growth will result....

there are alot of others i didnt linclude in my list caause i could have listed a bunch of artists,unity is lacking out west most definatley there are alot of young dudes out there making music and they have talent but they arent doing anything to stand out from the rest of the crowd, im always open to check out new music.so if you got some links to artist myspace pages that are dope post em up,a web site that truly represents all the diffrent styles that are west coast[la,the bay,sd,ie,and all styles in between cause not all west coast rap music is about gang bangn etc].
