From what I heard so far, 213 will maybe suck and flop... Im a big fan of them but im not happy with what im hearing so far.

and SGV: yeah roscoe's and Sly's had club bangers, so did yuk's. every wc album has a lot of songs that would be dope bangers. but like I said before, it ain't about skill, its about marketing.

If Roscoe's Get Ready, and Smooth Sailing both were produced by The Neptunes or Dr. Dre (Same beat, just pretend Neptunes and dre did the beats) he guaranteed would have done a lot better. Consumers recognize names, not talent. Why do you think Snoop wanted to get the neptunes, eminem, and 50 cent on the 213 project? Cause it will bring a lot more sales.

Marketing is one part, but support is as important. You think people recognized Ying Yang Twinz? Nelly? No. They were all regional standouts that got picked up by a major. They made their name because they had lots of support in their home state. If your own area don't support you, nobody will. It's that simple.

Big Chillah: Don't talk to me about Indi labels, I know all about it. I know major labels use payola to get their songs played. But, if a song is requested enough, they'll play it. Believe that. Indi or not, if the song is making a buzz, it will get played. It's possible for the West, but ALL West Coast fans need to support everything West Coast. Fuck names and fuck status.
