Quote from: duccc on August 01, 2007, 07:54:58 PMWHAT ARTIST DO U BLAME??,AND WHATS YOUR REASON FOR BLAMING THEM??..THEY NEED TO SEE THIS AND KNOW WHAT THEY DID WRONG!!!..I don't really blame any one artist per se...I think there were a few things (this is long, but bear w/ me):(a). In 1995, politicians like C. Delores Tucker, Bob Dole and their ilk started their whole "gangsta rap is evil, it should be banned" schtick, and some major labels got scared and started putting pressure on artists to "clean up" their stuff (the fact that Coolio's 1995 GANGSTA'S PARADISE was mostly poppy interpolations of old R&B songs, whereas his previous CD, 1994's IT TAKES A THIEF, was more street overall, is one example of this).

The consumer is to blameThe goal of most of these artists is to sell records and make money. They are going to make the record based on what is in demand. I'm sure snoop could make a record that has a style much closer to doggystle, but it probably won't sell as well as a different sounding record.The radio's are not going to play it if people don't request it, the radio's want to have as many listeners as possible that way they can charge more money for advertising.The big stores (best buy, circuit city, walmart, target) are not going to carry someone no name rapper that has no promotion behind him. In order to get the promotion, you gotta have music that is trendy, that will meet the consumers demands. The bottom line is, the fans who buy this crappy ass music are the biggest to blame for the death of rap music. A lot of you guys buy shit just due to the name of the artist, regardless of how the record sounds. How many times do you see on here, an ad or tracklist of an album and people quickly say "I'm copping that shit for sure!" wi/o even hearing anything from the record, before any song has even leaked. This happens mostly w/ DPG related music.I stopped buying music in 2003. I used to be at the record store every tuesday, and was always buying shit. I bought every album of snoop's up until PTCTBTB...I refuse to support crappy music, and I refuse to be part of the biggest fault of the death of rap music. I'm a huge bay area rap fan...but that hyphy movement was mutha fuckin garbage. I'm a huge spice 1 and mc eiht fan, but they keep dropping god awful horrible albums. Don't even get me started on rappers like 50 cent and dipshit. I have always been a huge DJ quik fan, but dude sold out big time...fuck supporting a sell out. I'm a huge Pac fan, but ain't no way I'm buying this remixed garbage bullshit. Yet how many of you buy these albums just to complete your collection because you have to have every album of that artist?
damn u still havent logged off...ur hurting everyone with all this wack shit u drop, it hurts more then getting the swine fluQuote from: Laconic on March 16, 2010, 08:21:33 AMTue, Mar 16, 2010 at 8:15 AM By: Ice CubeMe and Mack 10 together again?

Well partly cause a lot of rappers are saying the same thing since The Chronic. If people wanted music on lowriders, blunts, sex, gangs, parties etc then they gonna cop Doggystyle or The Chronic or 2001. Maybe if west coast artists switch up their style they may get a bit of love. Plus I think we could do with some more really dope west coast producers. By having someone like Just Blaze, he gets an artist like Saigon and everyone wants to listen cause they love the beats. What is odd is the fact that one hit wonders from the west arent appearing. The east has people like Mims etc but i dont see the West ever having one hit wonders anymore. I remember there were a lot during the g funk era but since then there hasnt been many.
