Westcoast Rappers Should Just Start Up Their On Radio/TV Stations

[kuruptDPG]

that way they can make sure their shit gets played and play other westcoast artists, they can play south/east stuff too but not as much of the west of course

i always had a dream where i would have a tv channel thats dedicated to westcoast music but would play some east/south stuff

rather than rappers complain, should they just start up a radio station?

Great idea in theory. But having a radio station / tv station is NOT cheap.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

exactly not cheap and easy to run
need alot of people, alot of money
it aint that easy but mos def the julio g's, the people of this coast could have done
all they do is talk.....world famous dj skee...haha world famous who only plays eastcoast muzik

And then what play only the old school & new west shit...trust there's a lot of talent on w coast newer then just the "new west"!  But if there's no segregating of talent and it's a united west coast then it's a good idea

it is alot of money yes but im pretty sure snoop/cube and many other have the money for it, that way they can support the younger artists too

that's preety brilliant idea, but if it has to be big (it has to, that's the point, right?), that's really ALOT of money. i doubt if any rapper could afford / want to lay out that kind of grip on such a shaky bidness. chipping in also won't happen, if it would, we would probably see massive beefs over money in near future lol.

maybe succesful businessmans should chip their money in eg russell simmons or someone else

YOu'd need somebody passionate about the station & have money.

Nobody would have both.

But it if was a famous rapper, with other affiliates, the station would get exposure simply from getting exclusives, like the way Shade 45 does from Eminem and G-Unit members. It is possible...but I doubt it will ever happen. As people say, it's a great idea in theory, but it aint that simple. The radio is a dying business anyway, I don't know why people still go on so much about radio play - people in their rides bump CDs now, people in their rooms go on the internet for new music and people check the TV for the hot singles. The radio isn't what it used to be.
