Support ALL New West Coast artists. Not just Game, not just Sly Boogy, ALL of them. From Logic to Mistah F.A.B. A-Wax to Complex.
You gotta support artists, Major to Independent. Fuck all these old ass rappers. When people drop news on an upcoming artist from the West, check it out. This is how the West will come back.
If you skip over these artists to only talk about Snoop Dogg's latest comments on his movie career or Dre saying something about Detox, the West will not blow up.
SUPPORT THE NEW ARTISTS!!!!!!!! That's all.
-
excellent point, stop living in the past!
-
yup as long as the new artist is worth supporting...im sick of hearing support the west, when there is nothing worth supporting, im not saying shyt is dope just because they're west coast homie i live here, there is just as much fags as there is gangsters and shyt, Talent is what is going to bring back the west people love sly boogy because he is dope! people still hope for a crooked i cd because he is dope, people are making a gang of pointless Game threads because his album is dope...Talent when thyre is more if it the west will blow...dont support everything west coast if its wack its wack Houston TQ, that shyt aint cool...

not only buy there shit but we got make the effort to call in the radio and request for some new westcoast shit.

I have bought nearly 300 westcoast rap albums. sorry, but rap is not a priority to me anymore. I need to put my money in better places. I won't be buying any albums anytime soon. but I have done well beyond my share of supporting the westcoast. Besides the 300 westcoast albums I own, I have countless times introduced rappers to other people, been to concerts, been a part of message boards, etc.
Honestly 5% or less of albums in the last 5 years have really impressed me, and gotten more than a week's worth of listen from me. not to say that they don't blow away the other shit in the industry, but on the whole, I would say rap music is very weak right now.
-
good post, thats true, if you guys don't check out the new artists we introduce, how is it gonna work?
-
only way to bring the west back...
is by not creating a 2nd topic about this when we already have one by Antonio?
-
^^ yea that'll do it ::) lol
doesnt matter who buys what, who checks out what, if the label wants the west to blow up they'll promote more ...
Game is a prime example. if Death Row put as much money and effort into pushing Crooked I last year or the year before, he would of been where Game is right now...
but Death Row cant afford as much as Aftermath, Shady, Interscope so Crooked I falls off the map and out of fans minds whilst Game comes and will probably sell a couple million.
i really dont think music sells the West Coast, thats not what will make it comes back, the labels need to put the money behind new West Coast acts. Look at Xzibit, was WOMD promoted as much as his previous two albums? ... it is just as good if not better than Man V Machine yet sold thousands less ...
money ... money ... money $$$$

Baby G said it best.
If we ain't supportin' ourselves, don't expect a Major to. Unless Game sells 50 numbers out the gate, DO NOT expect there to be a huge wave of West Coast cats being signed because we don't support.
Remember back in the day when EVERYONE got support? That's why people got signed during the wave of Major labels in the West. Interscope and Virgin took huge chances with Game and G.Black, I don't think they'll take anymore chances.
If you feel the need to still fiend for Dre's 38 year old ass to talk about being a G. If you feel the need to still fiend for Too Short's 43 year old ass to talk about Pimpin'. If you feel the need to still fiend for Snoop Dogg's tales of being a Super Gangsta at 34. If you feel the need to really hear any of these old ass rappers, over any new emcees, then DO NOT talk about the West's comeback. You're not apart of it and you're the reason for the West to be so dismal and stagnant.
New West in 05!

*Props* (you're at -2360 karma now. lol who in the wolves mcglen pub spent that much time clicking on that diss button ??? )

Bitter little boys who don't like me cuz I don't dickride their favorite artists. LOL.
-
Support The West Coast!
-
I'm not from the west but I am not supporting the Game (or Dr. Dre for that matter). I would like to see the west coast blow up again, but I just can't support the Game I'm not feeeling the guy.
I do find it funny that SGV says fuck Too Short, but a couple of months ago he had a thread about making questions for an interview with Too Short. Just pointing that out.
-
What I do for DubCNN and how I feel are two different. While I don't support these Old ass rappers no more, I know a lot of our readers do. So...yea, it's good for business.
-
fuck the west

^ FUC YOU.
A wise man once said: YOU CAN NOT LOOK FOR THE FUTURE IN THE PAST.
Antonio was saying how majors will never come scouting over here, ofcourse they won't, the only thing that grabs their attention nowadays is the units the artists push IN THEIR OWN AREA 1ST. You can not capture the world when you haven't captured your own backyard 1st.
-
^Exactly. Rod knows. Me and dude are on the same page.

That's exactly the problem. How can a guy from New York, China, Italy, England, etc.. support the West Coast when all he's hearing in the radio is Dr.Dre, 2Pac and Snoop?
2 WAYS:
1) THE PAST: If Snoop/Dre signs him, or talks about him.
2) THE PRESENT: If people from Cali supports hot Cali rappers, making them big, buying their records, letting major labels be interested in them.
There are only 2 ways. N.2 is even better. But it's up to Cali's people to show some love to the West Coast gangsta rap. C'mon...

Nobody likes Gangsta Rap anymore. That's living in the past. Why does everything gotta be gangsta?

Tha West need to unite again as far as i see , even Snoop realises that tha East is still shitting on tha West remember last year he talked about it in an interview saying they stealing from tha West ans other shit like that. I'm not saying start a East vs West beef againi'm saying we need to show tha same supprt from back in tha days. Westside Connection tried to resurrect tha West with Terrorist Threats but instead of niggaz goin' out and buying tha album all they did was say shit like them niggaz old, give it up.
I'm tired of all this bullshit no doubt i don't like G-Unit at all i was dissapointed that The Game signed witt them in stead of stayin' 100% Aftermath but i just put that shit behind me and said fuck it i'm gonna support The Game i don't have to buy a G-Unit album.

Exactly. I'm tired of all these dudes bitchin' and cryin' that we ain't supporting ourselves, and then when I check they shit out it's WHACK AS FUCK. It's easy to tell us fans to support the artists, but why not tell the artists to step they game up? It ain't our fault we suffering guys.

I was on point too:
The West needs music that appeals to the mainstream. It's that simple.
:halo:
-
^What's not appealin' about Godzilla? Federation's album? San Quinn's album? Phil Da Agony's album? Plenty of people drop mainstream appealin' albums, they just lack the support.
-

also, but it's not only the music... there's a big difference between the image of an east coast rapper and the image of a west coast rapper. don't get me wrong, i like west coast rap much better than east coast rap, but the overall picture is just not appealing to the mainstream.

Disagree. If you look at Yuk, he dresses no different than any East Coast dude. He wears minks, rocks fitteds, throwbacks and NBA patches. Look at the Federation, they're no different than Southerners. Phil Da Ag is no different than a Kweli or Mos Def. The difference is, all the artists from other areas get the love and support from their own.

Tell independent rappers and just rappers in general to start marketing rap in Australia~
There are so many wiggers here im sure if they start up something in AUstralia so we can actually buy music it'd be good. THe only way for most of us to gain access to this type of music is through the internet...

I could give a fuck if Too Short was 55 talkin bout pimpin, as long he does QUALITY albums i dont give a fuck if he is 55 or 20, just cuz some youngsta talks about pimpin in his 20`s doesnt make him more credible, its all about entertainment anywayz..im all about supportin underground acts but i wont buy their albums if they have 20 diffrents producers with 20 diffrents sounds and 50 different guest apperences...or that they spent 20 dollar on production, mixing and so on, if bringing the west means puttin out shitty albums with neptunes or all tha mainstream mofos and makin in "commercial" then i dont want tha west to be "back"...
Peace
