Rant About The West Coast Radio Stations (I'm Sick Of This Bullshit)

[M Dogg™]

I see it like this. Westcoast music right now has finally started picking up it's art form again. The last time the west was heavily played was 99 when Dre fucked it up with 2001. Before that was 1998 when everyone was putting out alright records, but the DMXs and Jay-Z took over the air. After the 2001 phase, radio went back east, but now I hear some good westcoast shit. But labels are on some bullshit. Will someone please tell Priority that Ras Kass is a great fuckin' artist, and to release Goldyn Child already. The west needs young artist, like Ras Kass, Knoc'turnal, even Shade Shiest, Roscoe, and all them people, 'cause the west should start fuckin up the game about now. Though radio play on Power 106 would help a lot. 106 hasn't been the same since the Baka Boyz left, 'cause they used to be in charge of the rotation, and they left because management wanted to get away from the more hip-hop/street type rap they played, and compete with the Beat and play more R&B and softer rap. That marked the end of Power 106. The Beat, the Beat died when the got sold, and moved to 100.3, well even before that, but hey, I'm a Power listener.

i agree with every single thing that has been mentioned so far.

a little more onto the subject of the future: ras kass. lyrically, ras can tear up ANY mutha fucka (from west or east), but hes gonna be in jail for a while so lets count him out temporarily.

KNOC-TURN'AL. when my cousin from brooklyn came to my pad for a bit, there were some knoc-turn'al songs (muzik and all about the doe) in his east coast dominated mp3 player. i asked him what knoc was doing in there, and he said a lot of his friends are feeling knoc's shit, especially a track called "what is life" and told me that it was really deep and poetic (i still cant find that track, if someone has it, then hit me up please). i must say, coming from someone on the east, i was impressed.

as for shade sheist, he had one really shitty start. his entire debut cd didnt have a single fucking solo track on that shit, and that was quite dissappointing. his production is nice, but we were hoping he would impress us more on a lyrical level. then, i heard his interview where he talked about all the negative criticism he has been getting, and that he would show us what he was truly made of now that he is a free agent. i laughed at that moment, but then went on to hear his newest track "rude awakening". my god, did shade sheist rip that track up. you can tell he was pissed when he made that, but nevertheless, his verse was off the hook. if he continues to do shit like this, then the future looks bright for shade.

and of course theres the game, sly, and crooked i lol.
