The only way for the West Coast to come back, is for every single one of ya’ll to SUPPORT THE NEW ARTISTS. We just had a discussion regarding this topic on our message boards, and I felt like posting some of the quotes here, because it’s the truth.
This is coming from the homie SGV who ya’ll know for his exclusive updates rigt here every week.
“Support ALL New West Coast artists. Not just Game, not just Sly Boogy, ALL of them. From Logic to Mistah F.A.B. A-Wax to Complex.
You gotta support artists, Major to Independent. Fuck all these old ass rappers. When people drop news on an upcoming artist from the West, check it out. This is how the West will come back.
If you skip over these artists to only talk about Snoop Dogg’s latest comments on his movie career or Dre saying something about Detox, the West will not blow up.
SUPPORT THE NEW ARTISTS!!!!!!!! That’s all.“
And another one:
“If we ain’t supportin’ ourselves, don’t expect a Major to. Unless Game sells 50 numbers out the gate, DO NOT expect there to be a huge wave of West Coast cats being signed because we don’t support.
Remember back in the day when EVERYONE got support? That’s why people got signed during the wave of Major labels in the West. Interscope and Virgin took huge chances with Game and G.Black, I don’t think they’ll take anymore chances.
If you feel the need to still fiend for Dre’s 38 year old ass to talk about being a G. If you feel the need to still fiend for Too Short’s 43 year old ass to talk about Pimpin’. If you feel the need to still fiend for Snoop Dogg’s tales of being a Super Gangsta at 34. If you feel the need to really hear any of these old ass rappers, over any new emcees, then DO NOT talk about the West’s comeback. You’re not apart of it and you’re the reason for the West being so dismal and stagnant.
New West in 05!“
And as Baby G put it, “Ain’t nobody gone support the West if we don’t support ourself!“
Think about it ya’ll!
