This is a major reason why the west isn't doing well

[IKON]

damn thats alot of peeps who have said they are dissapointed in the new Bad Azz album, why is he fukin with Big Hollis now???  he had one dope beat on Personal Business but damn he making beats like Timbaland and Neptunes now? fuck that i wanna hear bad azz over some smooth ass westcoast beats, none of the club shit, i will probably buy it used or cheap cause i aint spending over 10 bucks for it

True, Hollis is one of those dudes who has some coo beats but u would never expect him to do a complete album with all tite beats. He has those type of beats that are coo but nothin that make u want to get up and walk to it, like "got beef." Bad Azz sounded best over Blaqthoven and Battlecat.

It's everything....

Radio is a MAJOR factor....They never play West shit unless it's on like a friday night or somethin....

Distribution Companies are a MAJOR factor....Fuckers like BaySide haven't even opened shop in tha East & they eat a big percentage or they fuck U over....

There's too many gangstas or just plain "dumb" muthafuckaz pushin themselves in da game....They aint know nuttin about tha business, mufuckaz like that either EAT muthafuckaz or get ATE....Cuz they like Basketball players from High Skool jumpin quickly into tha NBA, they dunno tha business, they either get screwed, or they pull a Kobe and Eat up otha muthfucaz....But how often does that happen? almost never.....

People like Dre are another problem....Mufucaz aint helpin out, EVERY muthafuca be charging for verses now, I mean wtf? There's rappers out here who have put out an album which has sold like 10,000 copies and now they charge $500 for 16 bars....It's ridiculous nowadayz, there's no unity....Even yur affiliates is tryin 2 eat off U....

And tha game in da west is too crowded, everybody and they mama is rappin now, Everybody and they mama got a label, everybody is involved some how makin they chump change....All da crumbs are gettin collected off tha table, those fuckin crumbs can be made into castles, but too many mufuckaz is hungry tryin 2 eat....There's enough crumbs on da table 2 keep everyone happy, trust me, there is, but there's just not enough for 1 person to BLOW with....Real Talk.

It's strictly survival of the fittest, what more is there 2 say?

bad azz album ain't bad at all.  It is pretty dope, u should definately support him by buying this album.  The beats ain't bad, some people just expect everything to be perfect.  I mean I don't think I have heard gangsta T say any album released within the last 5 years is at least an 8/10.  U can't just compare every album to the classics.

new bad azz sucks anyways...
wit productions by timbaland and neptunes
or sound-a-likes

yeah I picked up that bad azz about 2 weeks ago.  i've noticed sometimes an album will have a release date and some stores don't realize that it's been pushed back or fail to recognize it, but legally they could get fucked.  i picked it up at a lil mom n pop shop out here in socal.  i have not had a chance to hear the whole album, but i bumped it on my way home and i was feeling it.  but, i didn't get no DVD with mine, kinda pissed about that.  

funny thing is A LOT of westcoast artists (especially more underground ones)  actually self-manufacture and distribute CD's they made to independent record stores out here in L.A. like Amoeba, Aron's, Pennylane, etc.  sometimes there CD-R's.  i just recently picked up another Phil The Agony CD titled "Hulk Steady" and another Krondon CD titled "Black Goldmember Vol. 2".  Both are pretty tight and they have Mitchy Slick & Xzibit on them, among others.

sad part is that a lot of underground cats that are pretty dope never get the promo they deserve and meanwhile you got all this mainstream garbage being sold to teeny boppers.  peace!!
