I dont get this shiet
"California" got crazy feedback over the internet. I heard the "California Remix" (with Kurupt, Mack 10, Jayo, 2Pac, E40, etc) on the radio a few times (and its rare a West Coast artist gets any play).
"Thats My Name" was gettin just as much play as all 50 Cent, Chingy, Nelly, etc records. And EVERYBODY knew that song & loved it.
This new song "Its Nuthin" is blowin up too. Everytime we go out I hear that song atleast once.
So why isnt J-Records putting more promotion behind him & trying to drop his record? I hope this doesnt turn into a Knoc-turn'al situation: hot singles from no record.
Btw: his song "If You Got Crew" featuring Jagged Edge is gonna be big WATCH

he has a stupid name

Yea, it's just how the music industry is.

You mean more stupid than Diddy, Chingy, Ying Yang Twinz, and F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S? Impossible.

California was a horrible choice for a buzz single. Sorry, they dropped it at the WRONG time. California is barely becoming cool again... That'z My Name had a video that would not appeal to those outside of Cali. It'z Nuthin is only getting spins out here, I doubt its even serviced to NY. J-Records NEEDS to shoot a video for the song with Jagged Edge and RELEASE it hard. Thats the ONLY way his album will see the light of day.

I normally don't agree with a lot of what you say babyg, but this time You're 100% correct...
Sly is dope as hell. I can't wait for his album
I don't know why he isn't getting more push... It'z nuthin has the potential to be just as big as a lean back or any other scott storch produced single... it just seems like J records isn't putting the push behind him that he needs. He wasn't even on the J records website last time I checked...
Didn't he also have a track on need for speed underground 2 as well?

Hell, most NY videos dont appeal to nobody outside of the east other than the bitches but they still get major rotation. J Records is just actin like hoes not wantin to take a chance on some real West Coast shit. Not that game bullshit. Its real fucked off how we cant have a West Coast artist that sounds like a West Coast artist get the right promo. All we get is two bullshit ny sound a lilkes? Give us a fuckin break for real.

^^Difference, NY is in right now.

That'z My Name's video was great. It was creative and to the point. And the song was in constant rotation here in MPLS when he came here on tour. I still hear it every now and then, and I only hear the radio when I'm at work.
There is no question It'z Nuthin wasn't sent to any station in NY. If you aren't top 40 or you don't live in NY, they aren't playing your shit. Doing a video for the song with JE would probably help his numbers, and it will probably happen before the CD drops, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with his other singles. They all bump, he spits fire, and the radio still doesn't give him the airplay he deserves. Nothing he can do about that except for selling out.

NY fell off a couple years ago. They are only getting spins cause they are where they need to be.
-
California is good for California. Thatz My Name and Itz Nuthin COULDVE done something with the right promo (Lowriders and a West Coast backdrop in early 2004 weren't appealing).
NY dictates whats hot and whats not. Face the facts. They're hotter than Cali is right now.
-

Where besides the east is NY in? Not out here in Northern Califoolya, I know that much.
-
Everywhere else...
-
naw the video for "Thats My Name" was stupid. it was a club song so maybe he should've been in...a club? but the "Its Nuthin" video should be hella West Coast. Cali is hot right now and Sly Boogy got the whole coast behind him.
-
Remix it with Game and shoot a video.
-
Everywhere else...
I dont believe that. Who from the east besides g unit garbage is anybody fuckin wit? Every other region is pretty much on their own shit. NY is just stuck on itself most of the time. The West like west coast shit, the south like southern shit, midwest like midwest, etc. NY need to get over itself. Im sick as fuck of the attitude that NY seems to have. I get the feeling that NYers think they are more important than everybody else and that everyone else is less important. I feel like fuck em sometimes even though I aint even on that hype. But for real, they need to get over themselves.

Why should it have been in a club? It'z Nuthin talks more about clubs than That'z My Name. It talks about smoking weed and avoiding the cops, which the video depicted. And the video had a big party scene at the end. Not everything with an upbeat instrumental is for clubs.
And if you want to go really indepth, That'z My Name was a street single just to get the buzz going. The video was interesting enough and was something the Cali folks would like. It was about the local backing first. From what it seems, Sly is getting great advice. 2 singles with banging beats from Storch is hard to fuck up. It'z Nuthing definately will be a club banger.
Remix it with Game and shoot a video.
Game sucks. G-Unit is played out. The bullshit they have been doing will only help them for so long. Someone will either get killed or the public will get tired of their shit.
And you don't need to hook up with the guys that get radio play just sell. The industry would suck even more than it does right now if it was like that.
