What is the biggest problem with westcoast hip hop websites?

[Sccit]

number 1 problem=not enough effort put into the sites by those running it

number 2 problem=uneducated heads doing interviews and/or covering shit they know nothing about

number 3 problem=lack of maintenance and infrequent updates

number 4 problem=only covering a certain section of the west, as opposed to EVERYTHING west coast (underground, mainstream, new school, old school, bay, L.A. etc)

As far as hip hop sites go, you stick with what you know. And as far as dubcnn is concerned, I think they do a damn good job of that. I mean I would like to see more exposure and coverage on acts on the west, east of California but I am sure they try their best to cover who they can.

My main issue with websites is most seem to be on some pay for play BS like the radio now. It does not seem to be with most a effort to find or cover the next big thing until some other site or publication found them first and they just don't want to look like idiots. For me just give me some good news, content, music, interviews, a forum but not mandatory and lets discuss good music.

I agree with you on pay for play, I hate the journalist/bloggers that work with a certain group of people that pay them and then they post it on like 30 sites they work for.  It waters shit down and its not going to help the smaller sites when the more popular sites are already posting the same exact story.  That is def one of the good things about dubcnn.  They usually post exclusive stuff and when they do post stuff that others sites posted its not a copy and paste story they write it up theirselves.

Also I want to make it clear that I wasn't talking about Dubcnn.  Just talking about sites ingeneral...

Respect everyone's thoughts here and if anyone wants to jump on board to help dubcnn cover more/do more/and improve then you know where i am.

I had a friend of mine refer me over to you and never heard back. All good though Rud.

remember the guy on dubcnn's staff who asked 50 cent about DJ Quik and 50 said "DJ who?"

biggest problem with West Coast sites?   too many grown ass whining haters and people stuck in the past that wont embrace change from old artists or new artists...Death Row is dead and it ain't 95' anymore...

This is the main one tho.


Unless u get Odd Future, Will.i.am, Murs, Tyga, Wiz and whoever else the fuck also charts, alongside the 90's artists the 'hedz' are still bumpin, your site will never get a mainstream audience (which IMO it needs to survive and be taken seriously as a media presence on the web).

Embrace the Radio artists and keep it real with the oldies. Thats a news site I'd visit every day.

Death Row is dead and it ain't 95' anymore...

like 90% of the fans of westcoast music are stuck in this era which is the #1 problem. people don't wanna hear most of the new shit, if it aint g-funk they aint listening
