every1 says tha east is pushin major units. Granted there sellin more than tha west but they also got a complete mainstream artist in ja rule an one who is 50/50 in jay-z. In tha east, nas, jay, ja rule, dmx. In tha west you got dre, snoop, an xzibit. a lot of peeps from tha mid 90's that were mad popular aint pushin much like mobb deep, dogg pound, wu tang, cube. Im askin, if tha west had there own version of ja-rule would u still complain about tha west not pushin enough units
-
FUK ja rule!! that fool is a fake and he makes shity music. tha east can have him!!

I couldnt see a rapper like Ja comin' outta tha west!!! Everything out west that is hot is str8 gangsta!!! We started this gangsta shit so we keep it gangsta!!! I couldnt see a Ja comin' outta tha west and tha west acceptin' him as a pop bitch!!! Just my opinion!!
-
ja rule is a average rnb artist, he sing, he ain't rappin, but some of his joint are tight, like the plege remix, down ass bitch, u know what i'm talkin bout, the rest just suck asss
-
i did not ask your opinion on ja rule- im askin if tha west had a commercialized artist like ja rule, would u still say tha west pushed no units. cuz if tha west did, it would almost even things out sales wise
-
lmao,you idiots cant even answer a simple question

ok but it will never happen , cause ja is on def jam ($$$) and murder inc ($$$) so the promotions is always present, but on the west , there ain't none, thats the problem, if there were some, shit , there would be more than 6 ja on the west already

Tha point is that tha west wouldnt have a Ja type artist!!! Tha west wouldnt accept a rapper like Ja......it would give tha west a bad name!!! West it all gangsta shit!! Thats why u dont see tha west rushin' to make shit like Ja cuz that would get clowned!!!
-
If I remember correctly, Jayo Felony was on Def Jam. wasn't he? and he didn't sell that much did he? So, the conclusion is: Only pussy ass artists sell. Lil' Daddy's boys who vote on TRL all day don't want to hear GANGSTA shit. and you know that's all who buy Ja's shit. Don'y denye it.

but in the end motell jordan was in the r n b section..so hes not relevant...i mean the west has had some pop acts (hammer, young mc) but that was the 80s and early 90s...we have never had a person like ja rule...nor will we have one...imo...the west is not about pushing units...we know that out the gate we will sell less than most east coast rappers...thats just label politics...where are most of the major labels based?...the east...they have officies out here but everything is east coast based...they over look the west and south and midwest for that matter....

Montell Jordan didnt start out actin' like a hard ass gangsta nigga either then switch up to droppin' pussy ass pop shit!! On Venni Vetti Vecci he acted like a hard type nigga and now he just str8 bitch ass pop!!! All Im tryin to say is that if some1 on tha west did switch like that they wouldnt be accepted as a west coast artist!! They prolly get put six feet deep!!!
Yo, U might be right....but I dont remember hearin' Montell Jordan rappin'!??... :-/

i dunno, i guess that would depend on if one considers ja rule a rapper..

Word....i dont care what side he was on..The west dont need a ja rule to give it a bad name.
-
The closest thing the West had to Ja Rule in the past few years was Coolio. Like Ja his first album was cool but on the later releases he became more pop than anything. Coolio actually had social messages in a lot of his later songs still unlike Ja.
-
Montell's a bad example, 'cause he as in the R&B section, and also many R&B acts at the time tried to rap, look at Boyz II Men, and even Shai who sang If I Ever Fall In Love (I got the CD, great love making shit, and then a rap song...LOL) so Montell was just doing what R&B artist were doing at the time, all CDs after his first were straight R&B. If the west would have Ja Rule, I don't think we would care as much, 'cause he'd be seen as more a pop act. I mean, it's not uncommon for people to get mad at Snoop, Cube, Dre, or when he was alive Eazy E. Hell people were mad at 'Pac a bit for working with Eastcoast rappers in '94. And people talk about Def Jam money, Def Jam was once a small label with limited money, that main power behind Def Jam is Universal, which owns Island, which is over Def Jam. Universal is also reponsible for Nelly and Cash Money, see a connection. Puffy is with Arista, and so is OutKast. Ruff Ryder, Aftermath and Eminem are on Interscope, which has now plenty of rock acts to help make money, so as you can see certain label can pay for promotions. Other artist on smaller labels have a hard time. But still, if Ja Rule was west, we would have problems with him no doubt, and consider his sales non west coast.
-
it's pretty imposible to come out of the west as a pop artist..............and if he did and sang r&b shit he would really get mashed on for it from the west coast artists, even snoop gets some critisism for being a little pop but he keeps it gangsta more than any other main streem artist i can think of
-
oh shit i just became a 5 star seargin general!!!!!
-
The west doesnt want a rapper like Ja Rule!!!
