Jayo Felony had all his chips in place in summer of 1998. He had a bangin single that really should of blown up on radio and video with "Whatcha Gone Do", but even though it didn't blow up it still received a decent amount of play. The song had a feat. from Method Man and from DMX who was the most popular rap artist at the time. I'm not a DMX fan, but I can say for sure DMX gave his 100% on the track, and his rhymes were on point; and Method Man was still at the top of his game at the time.
Def Jam is partly to blame for this album not blowing up. Even Russel Simmons admits that they didn't do a good job of pushing their West Coast artists back then, he mentioned Warren G's label with Twinz and Dove Shack as an example.
Still, there is little doubt that it was because of Def Jam that Method Man and DMX both recorded a song and video for the album, and also the rest of the album really fell short of expectations. I doubt that Def Jam would tamper too much with the material Jayo was coming up with at the time, I would think that his joints just weren't tight enough.

def jam isn't good for west coast artists... :-\ ???

I remember "Hotta Than Fish Grease" getting some decent spins on the radio.

That im too sexy for my hood shit was gay though.

Lol true.
But I think Def Jam makes sure to promote their West Coasrt artist just enough for them to recoup their money. Anything more than that ain't gonna happen.

no label is good for west coast artists these days
-
Yeah, Def Jam wasnt the place to be for a Westcoast artist. That single was HUGE. It was nominated for single of the year by Source I think. But lost to Back That Ass Up. The CD was off the chain tho, just nothin else got pushed. Nitty Gritty was a better single IMO...Just didnt have the features so it didnt get the spins on MTV that Whatcha Gonna Do did.

west coast niggaz are either go waaaaaay to hard for the mainstream appeal but when they actually DO DO the mainstream shit, its fucking gay as hell, unprofessional and cheesy,.
Why cant a West coast nigga stay in the middle like Jeezy,Ross,T.I,Jadakiss just sold 400k with not much gay shit?
These rappers are all in the middle, not to gay and soft and at the same time dont sound like a 40 year old broke ass bum ass crackhead glue sniffer on the mic.
99% of West Coast Mc's that never broke the public are some paint chip sniffing/child molesting(wattup Dresta you fuck)/Herpies infested/not being able to read low life losers...Who da fucj would wanna look upto somebody like that?
We Got Snoop/Dre/Cube and Game. The rest are in the hood raping girls/abandoning children/making kids sell drugs and shoot guns/sniffing glue and robbing older women for 300 dollars and telling us that they are real and Game and Snoop are fake for taking care of their kids,helping people out and making a change...
If back in 2000 it was cool to be from the hood, these days its the other way around...Nobody wanna look upto a child molesting/super turbo gangsta nigga that has no money and nothing to loose...
Its 2010, a decade of Go to School and Get a Degree....Get Great Job and Hot Women...Its not 1997 of We are in the hood becoz there is no change/white people force us to be here/DPG Gankstaz,Fa Life,We banning/We Ridin/We Smokin
Uneducated dumb ass/bum ass niggaz.
-
Amazing, you make yourself sound like more of a dumbass hater with every fuckin post. 99% of the west coast rappers are child molesters? If you hate west coast shit so much why are you in a west coast forum? Besides that you're obviously a fuckin hater with the 99% shit. There are bum ass rappers and yes child molesters all over the place not just California. Go put on a Justin bieber song or something.

wtf are u talkin about?
The Westcoast blew up off of gangsta rap. But it wasnt just gangsta RAP....it was gangstas rappin. Back then, the fan base was mostly young males from the hood...and right when the West really took off, the fanbase was switching to young white males in the suburbs. They ate up that gangsta shit like they eat up the Mafia image. So everything was great for the West. As hip hop expanded and the fanbase changed to MTV kids and young girls, the "gangsta" shit became a fad. It became fashionable to be a gangsta, but the rap listeners (not knowin anything about the hood themselves) no longer knew...or even cared who was real about it. They just wanted a slightly more gangsta image then themselves, with music that you could shake your ass to. Westcoast artists have always felt pressure to stay true to the streets as a good amount of em are active. So thats why the East and even more so...the South really took off. Their rappers havent minded playing a gangsta on TV (even without bein one), and still makin music for little girls. There are real bonified street niggas down South....and on the East. But those muthafuckas dont blow up either for the most part.

At the end of the day....all these down South and Eastcoast cats playin gangsta on tv....deep down in their soul, wanna be us. Our rappers want the money these cats are makin...and their rappers wanna be gangstas.
Who was it that said it..RZA maybe? "There are too many gangstas on the Westcoast tryin to be rappers, and too many rappers on the Eastcoast tryin to be gangstas".
-
Nitty Gritty was a better single IMO..
-
^^ lol wanna be us...Be who? Broke ass bums? Mc Eights and all them niggaz that had 1 album or 2 albums in 95...What u think they were getting 20 million per year for 1 Gold album?
ANd yes, 99% of West Coast rappers are broke/in the hood/raping girls/fucking ugly hoes/smoke crack and get killed.
Wtf is Big Fase 100 doing rapping? Sounds like a broke grandfather on the mic, nigga is 47 and wanna rap?

2)Got Signed to Buck, Called 50 a Real nigga
3)Dissed Game.
4)Buck left 50, he appeared on Games Video shoot, My Life
These broke ass niggaz are followers...They follow niggaz who have more money.They will follow Justin Bieber and Co Sign him as a real Crip for money.
West Coast Lost! Apart from Rappers i mentioned above,they are all losers...Yukmouth is running gangsta, yappin about how hard he is...Gets Knocked out by Game, Robbed By Suge and Snitchz to the polce, filing reports..
Members of Outlawz are signed to Buck, who is broke...Went from 2pac who sold nearly 80 million to Running with a bankrupt nigga.
Mc Ren is broke as fuck.

-
lmfao this cat is a hater by nature!

-
whatcha gonna do album was bumpin to me .
-
Take a ride is a better song and 2 this day bangs like a mutha...but some people are lazy...its only so much the labels fault

You a hatin' ass dick tucking bitch. GTFO.
One, Bo Loc has more money than many of your favorite mainstream shitty ass rappers. He dissed 50 because 50 opened his mouth about J Prince. 50 never responds to real niggaz. He ran scared from Scarface and Rap-A-Lot and neither him, Game or Spider dared say shit to C-Bo. And he later gave 50 his props because the beef was long dead and the shit hadn't sparked between Buck and 50 yet. It's called being a fucking man, you should try it some time. Stop hating one niggaz you bitch. You don't know what any of these dudes are doing or how they even invested their money

"raping girls" lol You sound like an old racist white man.
And yes, they wanna be us. Pay attention. Its HARD to find any region who changed the hip hop game the way the West did. There are still affects from what we did to this shit. EVERY rapper out there...im talkin, even bitchass down South rappers makin booty shake music....or Eastcoast rappers playin gangsta for tv...wanna be thugs. They wanna be gangstas. Who taught them that shit? They use that image that the WEST showed them, to try and sell records. They only sell records cus they do the shit half way. They arent really bangin, so its easy for em. Little girls dont care about watchin gangsta shit. So these halfway gangstas from the South and the East can sell to them...and you, making pop music and music to shake your ass too. Im a grown ass man, I dont shake my ass. So I dont listen to that bullshit. The problem is, grown ass men dont buy enough records these days...only bitches...young bitches...and male bitches seem to. So we get bullshit out there like Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, etc. If you cant see how damn near the whole rap scene wants to be G, then youre blind as a bat homeboy. You got some faggot from NO deciding to out of nowhere become a Blood after Mack started fuckin with em. Believe me homie, I been around niggas from everywhere. And them cats look up to us..on some G shit. Theyre makin that money off of our image, but they know that theyre fake...and they hate it. They know they cant never be us, hard as they try.
