Why the west struggles to succeed

[Jaydc555]

How many artists have done that in the history of rap?snoop had backing.even dre and cube had backing.the game.jay rock and glasses.50 cent.eminem.lil Wayne.all of them had the benefit of being helped out

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah its different but all im sayin it can happen
crooked can do this on his own, but hes up to something else! hes at the park playin wit the ducks and shit!
crooked is a gangsta rapper, he isnt snoop, he will have to sell out like snoop (more recently) to get anywhere!
but that dont mean he cant release album on a indie the same way (tech n9ne has done)
aite tech had quincy help him, but crooked can get at some of these cats!
fuck snoop, why waste time wit a muthafucka who hates and dont want his own to shine?
thats one of the best moves crooked has made, in not askin snoop for a deal!

Everybody wants Dre to put them on or Snoop or one of the big names that actually made a name for themselfs and if they dont get that help they want to diss and talk crazy. I mean damn why not hustle and make a name for yourself and get your name out there instead of trying to piggieback  off Dre or Snoop. I mean if they do put you on cool but still you gotta do the work too because they wont do it for you. thats probly why Bishop Lamont doesnt have a cd out because hes so busy waiting on dre to work with him. why not do like Eminem did he did a few tracks with Dre but mostly did the shit himself thats why hes so successful. I mean look at it. Eazy E put on Dre and then Dre broke off and did his thing and then he put snoop on and snoop did his thing but after that he didnt need dre he found other people to work with and didnt wait for dre to come around to work on his cd. same with Mack 10 the first cd he did with Ice Cube and then after he branched off and did his own shit. and thats what Bishop needs to do if he really wants to be successful is not wait on dre because waiting on Dre his shit will never drop point blank. same with Crook he needs to just get off his ass and press some cds up and put that shit in the store. if you say your the best in the fucking west. prove that shit. fuck a major deal. do it yourself

Dre needs to push suge knight to push his lazy ass into releasing albums.I mean they all owe their careers to suge anyways if you think about it.

[PsychoToons5150]

They dont owe anything to Suge to be honest. Suge is the reason death row went under instead of him being lowkey and just handling business he had to be in the limelight and fucked everything up.

[Jaydc555]

Without suge knight death row would never have existed.dr dre would be stuck in his contract at ruthless.nobody would know snoop or dogg pound or countless others.

i don't hate snoop, i actually like him but his quantity over quality method leaves me disappointed a lot of the time. Snoop appears on so many guest appereances and releases so many projects that:

a) his lyrics are weak a lot of the time
b) the significance of a snoop guest appearance becomes minimal and thus when he appears on a west coast album it doesn't garner much attention.

I strongly disagree with those that say Snoop doesn't do enough for the west coast. Like someone said wasn't it him who helped RBX, Nate and DPG gain contracts on Death Row. Furthermore Snoop regularly uses West coast producers ranging from Rick Rock to Soopafly which is more than can be said for The Game...

Lets have a look at featured guests on TBCT:
Nate Dogg*
B Real*
R Kelly
E-40*
MC Eiht*
Goldie Loc*
Tha Dogg Pound*
Damain Marley
The Game*
Akon
Ice Cube*
Western Union*
Latoiya Williams*
Nine Inch Dix*
Jamie Foxx
Dr Dre*
D'Angelo

So thats 16 artists/groups of which 12 are from the west coast smh. Even his single Life of da Party had west coast rappers on it. Plus Snoop regularly puts out projects supporting the west coast. I know theres some Crooked I stans on here that talk about Snoop stopping others from blowing up but thats bullshit.

I gotta tell you alot of westcoast fire coming 09 looking like the westcoasts year
