Every fuckin interview when dudes asked why the West dont get no air play. They say cause heads aint bringin no good music out.
What The Fuck
They need to realise The East be hatin
Go and listen to E A SKI's Manuscript.
'It still aint cool since BIG got shot so U make sure the West Coast STR8 Flop'
-
or is that just an excuse?
-
I think it's a combination of both.
(Although I dunno much of what's goin' on in American radio, since I don't live there. But based on what I've read in magazines or interviews or on this board...)
-
or is that just an excuse?
Fuck that! I dont live in NYC.
If there's a good album i buy it.
But truth is that West aint the same.
So i agree with Seer.
Is that just an excuse?
Where's the music nobody can ignore?
CLASSIC SHIT, please?

Most of the West Coast Artists dont bring good music to get played on radio ,its too hardcore for radio I guess,could be the money also,no money means no promotion.Also if you aint on a major label dont expect to get airplay (thats my opinion)
-
or maybe its djs like funk master flex charging for air play?
-
there was that (apparently unfounded) controversy stuff about sheist and power 106 too, more a conflict of interest tho.
labels will pull whatever moves they can to get things done... maybe not paying money... but an expensive promotional gig.. maybe somewhere exotic or something else can also make someone feel like they have to play your stuff.
its a shady area really... thing is... are artists/labels and their promotional depts. for some of these things that are being moaned about doing all they can? and/or as much as the 'other' labels... like... do the radio stations actually have these records... and what drives whats on the playlists?
i feel people are quick to diss in this area where sometimes it seems like the bitchers havent actually made any efforts to help the stations play their stuff in the first place... 'radio stations on the east dont play our shit' .. my question... did u send it to them? what u think?
-
yeah i reckon that the west dont bring enough radio friendly tracks that are tight. thats why the reason they aint ontop, even though i am a str8 westcoast fan
-
and if someone where to make 'a radio track'... its selling out... right? :)

personally i don't care to hear my favorite rappers on the radio....last thing i want to hear is dj quik getting played 40 times in an hour....look at what happened to 50 cent...no one wants to bump him anymore and if you do, you're corny cause you can just turn on the radio and listen to that shit...
and about statements that the west hasn't come with heat...you mean to tell me since dre's 2001 there hasn't been a good westcoast song? 3 years and no one from the west has made a song to get major airplay? you've got to be touching yourself.
50 came out with some gangsta rap and he gets much airplay...cause he's from the east coast...cause he has eminem behind him...cause he has dre beats...that's all it boils down to...it's not like he's lyrically advanced like ras kass, oh he can flow like jayo.
so when it comes down to it...yes you can sell out like snoop and make a radio hit, or try and come out like 50 and hope you don't get the fuck played out of your song.
-
or is that just an excuse?
Yeah I think it's just an excuse
-
Everybody needs to stop hatin' on the West, damn...I hope that Jayo Felony will put some new heat into the WestCoast hip-hop scene so he can let the East know what's up...
-
stop with that East Coast/West Coast Bullshit I know its a Westcoast board but fuck that East Coast Music is way better than the WEst right now and thats not an opinion thats a fact everybody knows that if you aint affiliated with Snoop Dogg or Dr.Dre,radio wont play your shit.
-
Yeah, I agree...the west doesn't bring that many radio-friendly tracks out, which isn't necessarily a BAD thing because then you get tracks like "Beautiful".
-

haha too true man, you bring out a track that flops your underground and true to the streets, bring out an album that goes plat your a fucking sell out

For one, the East realized what happened in the early 90s and knew they had to "stop" it, so even tho the east and west seem to be on good terms as far as artists, the major companies ain't lookin to sign any west coast acts, and if they do they don't give em a good deal.
It's funny to me that people say gangsta rap is dead, but 80% of the rappers on the east got their whole style and persona from west coast rap...in the 80s u didn't hear too many east coast rappers talkin bout killin and slangin caine and all that.
The main reason 2 me is that G-Funk appeals to the west but outside the west, if it ain't Dre, people don't like it. Even tho Quik battlecat and fred wreck come with heat, people outside the west would prefer just blaze kanye rockwilder primo or whoever else.
The west has put out good shit...yeah we haven't had much classic since dre 2001 and pac, but the east and south isn't exactly puttin out that much classic shit right now either.
