The PM is still dry. I guess nobody wants to see this place revived.
Look where the "New West" mothafuckers are at right now. Theres no one relevant other than Black Hippy guys.Black Hippy really deserves a lot of credit for keeping their words and releasing shit for people to keep interest in west.

Keep releasing mixtapes to build interest but dish out an album when the time is right, for fuck's sake! That's where a lot of rappers or, like I think their respective management, fail. And IMO that's the strength of TDE, securing good deals (musicwise, I don't know or care bout the financial aspect) for their artists.

Crooked should've came out with B.O.S.S. right after the first hip-hop weekly and Bishop should've dropped Reformation right after the departure from the Math. Going indie isn't so bad. Shit look at Macklemore and Mac Miller.

I've been thinking the same thing but I never made a thread about it because since the majority on this forum are stuck in the 90's and its been proven. I can make a troll thread of anything with Dr Dre or snoop dogg title and it will get more views than any quality thread out there.There should be a two sub forums 90's era generation and new current rappers.Categorize new rappers who have been out since 06' - 07' till now as new and anyone before that old and crusty.And mods deffenatley need to update the forum with the news as most of us don't even check the front page as often.Give it a test run and see how it works out. I will deffenatly check out both forums as I'm still a fan of the old school but I also want to see more news on dom Kennedy, veggies, nip hustle, TDE etc....

Theres really not much to talk about. Our coast is full of rappers who think they can save the west when they can't even release their first album. I mean what the fuck is Crooked and Bishop thinking? They caught Hittman syndrome for big time.I think Kendrick was the only dude who got hyped and actually release material for his fanbase to spread around the world.

i agree, bishop should have released his album already, it's taking way too long now.
