This is a major reason why the west isn't doing well
« on: March 31, 2003, 12:49:10 PM »
I had no clue that Bad Azz dropped this last tuesday, until last nite when I checked on here.  I am a big fan of bad azz and I been waitin on this one, and I had no clue it was commin out last tuesday.  Not only that, today I went to go buy it and 3/4 record stores didn't have it.  I didn't even check the 4th  one cause I knew there was no way.  And 2 of those stores was Best Buy and Wherehouse.  And it ain't like I live in Poland or something, I live in Cali, in a decent sized town.  No wonder these rappers can't sell shit.

tru tru, and another reason i feel is cuz they jus dont know how to make a hit single by themselves or make good songs by themselves......its like without a dre u cant do that shit, i mean thers enough kats with talent on the west and dope lyrics but u need more than that to blow the fuck up these days,

peace

Nah, U got that all wrong......It's not tha WEST......It's bayside distribution......They fuckin alot of artists over, B-12 tha co-owner is really hated on right now, there are alot of fishy shit goin on with that company.....They put out damm near every major bay album which usually flops, They put out some South Cali shit too, like this Bad Azz one & some of Daz's shit.....Dats why I perdict they gonna fall apart.....but then again, they might not cuz they are tha biggest Distribution company tha bay has, next to City Hall & shit.....

This is why I waz like WHAAAT on that 411 post on Bad Azz's new album because it said that it will be distributed by BaySide.....I knew it's gonna flop.....

They had it here in Atlanta too, at the FYE (I didn't go looking around other places because it was Opening Day!!) with the DVD. Kinda pricey though, $17 but that's with the CD and DVD.

It's a grip of other reasons the West ain't doin good.

For one, outside of L.A., most people I know don't like anything from the West unless it's Dre or Snoop. Basically, that's because the radio stations I hear in places such as Florida don't play too much of anything West Coast that is new. I hear more old West Coast songs than new, and that makes us look even worst because it basically says "y'all had your chance." I have heard both Snoop singles, 2Pac still ballin and thug mansion, WC The Streetz and Throw yo hood up (I heard throw yo hood up once), and those are the ONLY west coast songs I have heard on the radio since I have been in school down here. The radio stations barely play anything we make...also, I think 2001 was the most slept on year in the west, and only we knew about the albums out such as DPG Dillinger and Gotti and Bad Azz Personal Business.

I hate to put it on Dre but also, when people see Dre workin with everybody but west coast artists nowadays, people outside of home really are like "Your best man doesn't even like the West coast"
