I feel like Omar Cruz is the only one on the Westcoast that has potential to be big...
While rappers like Crooked i are talking about being a boss, or others on the West just straight up being mixtape rappers...
while these guys are talking, Omar cruz is out there trying to get his name out there releasing songs, being on mtv3, being on power 106...
and having his song played on power 106 right now....
I feel hes best chance we got at having a westcoast rapper be mainstream....The good thing is that he can make good songs...Including this one..
Omar Cruz Ft. Frankie J - To The Top (from Power 106)

this the latan population behind him Omar Cruz has massive potential to blow up

Defently think O.Cruz has the potential to be the next biggest artist from the west. He has a lot of things going for him. Getting a lot of love from radio now with his new single ft frankie J. He has a lot of press from mtv, mtv3,mtvjams, magazine's, internet buzz & street buzz.Plus to top it all of he is Lation & if latino's get behind him like it's looking like they are he will out sale any new west artist. 1 more thing he has Interscope behind him. If they push him you know what could happen. Ex. Eminem,50cent & Game. I defently think he is the next one to blow up. B.Y.I & Cruz deserve there respect for what they have accomplish so far. Hopefully they keep it going & knock those door's down for LATINOS!!!

omar cruz is garbage
-
joints is a die hard, homo ass stan for real, he is a fan of Sucess, not music...He aint here talking about Cruz, only when he is dropping songs and making moves, watch Omar Cruz flop hard and this stan never ever say his name again...
Omar Cruz has 0 chance of becoming anything, Spider loc ios a much bigger figure on the west, even thou he raps worse than my 6 year old sister

That coming from you you is like... :catfight:

From the looks of things, Omar might be the first out of all these New West artists to actually release an album. He's been creating his own buzz since 2005/2006 (that's when he signed his deal). He's released a few mixtapes since 2006, he dropped a street single & a video to go along with it and now he just released his official single.
Things have gone according to plan thus far. And important to point out: Interscope/Geffen is still backing him.
We still haven't gotten an official release date for the album though, but with "To The Top" being released to radio stations, I assume it'll be somewhere around July/August...

yes he the only new west artist that has an offical single out ::)
both g malone & jay rock released there official single's where have you been, omar is signed to intercope as you know anything dropping on intercope will get push back, so once he sets his album date expect that to get push back
im pretty sure G malone will drop before him

The only other person other then Omar Cruz that might blow up is G Malone....
And G-malone just released his single just like Omar Cruz...
except Omar Cruz is actually getting played daily on power 106... Havent heard G Malones new single on the radio...
Hopefully they play G Malone on the new at 2 on power 106...Because i really like his song Haters...
But i think Omar will drop before G Malone...or probably their both gonna drop around the same..

this the latan population behind him Omar Cruz has massive potential to blow up
BUT STILL i dont think latinos will be buying his shit.. your going to see his CD's on the corner over there on alvarado on the corner 3$ lol in his own hood u know how the paisas be doing it they bootleg everything
the way album sales are nowadays...a great goal for him is to get the fan base across the western, southern and even the florida/east coast latinos out there so he could go around touring doing shows getting $$$
he's got great mic presence, and i feel like he can only get better at his lyrical skills
""" Omar Cruz has 0 chance of becoming anything, Spider loc ios a much bigger figure on the west, even thou he raps worse than my 6 year old sister """
i know you dont stay in LA/CALI so.. you didnt hear omar cruz single being played on the #2nd biggest radio station in the USA 30 spins a day, you didnt see omar cruz at the powerhouse concert getting love on stage with the game and WC
-

I was simply summing up what he did over the past 12 months or so. So like I said, he just released his official single. I never said "he's the only New West artist to have released an official single".

Looks like the roles of ethnicity in music have shifted... That's all I gotta say on this thread.

where have you been eminem was the top rapper for years big pun also had his time but the fact will always remian rap music will and always will be dominated by blacks, one artist and ethnicity in music have shifted ;D ;D
then you wonder why nobody wants to support your artists
if anybody fucks up omar cruz shot of blowing it will be his people, by that hitting up the net talking shit like, we're taking over...once people see that they won't support homie, thats the problem with these essay rap fans there favorite artist have a track out and they hit up every forum were taking over , brown pride, viva la raza, raza taking over, we run the streets now were running the rap game.... thats why people support latinos like Dominicans & Puerto Ricans,there fans don't act as dumb as some of you essay rap fans in southern cali, other people see that and right anyway they gonna say this people are making this a race issue i ain't supporting this guy, why would someone support a artist if they see his supporters on the net basically saying brown power,we're taking over :-\ ::)
look at this dude already saying
Looks like the roles of ethnicity in music have shifted ;D
eminem blew up white did'nt go hitting up websites screaming we're taking over hip hop ?, they supported homie without bring race into it, it seems like everything these southern cali mexicans do,( i can't say all mexicans just the southern cali one) on a major level they bring some race shit into it
they got 1 football star that got a lil shine..... mexicans taking over viva la raza
they got a soccer star, mexicans taking over puro mexicanos fuck everybody else
when lil rob had summer nights on mtv , chicanos running this shit, rap is ours now ;D ;D
and the only reason i even know these dumb lil slangs is because ya'll keep saying it over and over in any thread that has a chicano rapper featurng a well known rapper

Omar has a good thing going. Great single. We just have to see what happens when his album drops. Good to see another west coast artist makeing some noise.

Omar is my dude, the ethnic roles at LA radio have changed,so lets be more specific. There is not one black influential person on LA radio,which is why the play list is different than the rest of the country to cater to L.A's large hispanic demographic. And for those that say he's the first one with an official single. G. Malones certified got over 2000 spins per week nationally,was number 1 in Atlanta. Los Angeles & Utah,tiger,(the little dude from Compton) is all over MTV with that coconut juice joint. Mr. Criminal is making noise and moving units(the joint with Fat Joe goes hard). My single with Birdman is in it's third week and not only is it being played on Power, but in 7 of the top ten markets in the country.
So there is plenty of dudes doing they thing. It's a grip of Hispanic Artist that make noise,if the music is hot,EVERYBODY will support it,rap cant be segregated.Much success to Omar cus HE's A DOPE MC
-
And before anybody comments,thoroughly read my statement. being dope has nothing to do with ethnicity...
-
Everyone saying he is the next to "blow up"...
Are you
A) From LA?
B) Mexican?
From the entire west coast I don't see him "blowing up" on a national level. I doubt you will hear his songs bumping from kids cars in Seattle or Kansas City like you would say...E-40, Mista Fab...Yukmouth has been doing pretty well...See where I'm going, the bay has been doing real well exposure wise...
Most of y'all have been talking about "the next west coast mc to blow up" for so long it makes wonder what you consider blowing up, a lot of dudes have been doing just fine and getting airplay.
THIS IS NOT 1993.
Rethink your terms of blowing up, and then realize that plenty of new west rappers have been blowing up.
MTV or mainstream radio are no longer accurate measures of one's success in the rap game.
You like Omar Cruz, cool. He's a cool rapper. But what do you want?
-
I'm just glad to see a latino artist getting a push. It's also good to see a couple of westcoast artist getting out there & make some noise.
-
Hes gonna sell a lot of records when he does drop.
-
Mr. Criminal is making noise and moving units(the joint with Fat Joe goes hard).
Really? I read on certain Chicano-related forums that this was not the single the fans wanted to hear from him. Can't believe it's even doing this good on the market.
(Bigg Steele, I sent you a PM.)

^That joint is the shit!!!! I heard it when they were mixing it.I think when dudes expand what they are doing, Its all good!!!!

I'll be finishing up the freestyle for "Born & Raised On The Westside" soon.
Speaking of "Certified," I just finished my freestyle. Will be posting it on a secret account on an unlikely source. Aside from MySpace.

this to the top song is a nice summer time single just as good as games pain single in my opinion
-
Just came home..it's blazing hot out there. Summer season already started around here 8) This song sounds good in this kinda weather. Still surprised though that Dubcnn hasn't put this up on the frontpage yet.
-
I'm pretty sure dubcnn will have it this week. Hopefully with out any tags. I want to bump this in my convertible on sunday's. West west you'll!!!
-
One thing I would've changed about the song though: that part where Frankie J sings "To The Top"...I would've mixed those vocals a bit louder. You can hear him singing it, but not really loud. It doesn't stick out.
I've given this song about 40 spins now and I thought I'd get used to it, but I still stick to my first opinion: that 'To the top' line by Frankie J should've been mixed louder into the song. I think the overall sound of the chorus would've come out better that way.
-
Track is really dope
