i will say that newer artists do need more support from the fans of the OG's. I know a lot of you do already, but we need more of you out there.alot of these new guys were broken in by me, nima, and jay... and i would constantly hear the "you promote nobodies" from fans of the OG's.. Now a lot of those "nobodies" are starting to become "somebodies" and they will with all of your support...
Damn so now it is a requirement for how many cats you put on? Da Hood did quite well on the charts. The Lakers actually wanted to pick up their song L.A. 4 Ya for music to be played at the games but they had clearance issues. Tha Trapp is just starting out, I know them cats and they are grinding out there. You make it sound like these artists have to be on a major or something or put up great numbers to be fully put on. Everyone's situation is different. Glasses actually did hustle on his own to get that Sony deal but I bet if he would have been months behind getting a second deal, people would complain and say no OG's helping him. You think Mack 10 had to do that for him? So a artist is supposed to sit around and have the OG's hand feed them success. Bishop Lamont ain't waiting on Dre to create a buzz, neither is Joell Ortiz. N*gger Noize dropped right here on Dubcnn for free creating a buzz, he has done interviews. So a little bit of work has to be put in by the artists. As for the truly dope new artists that do not have a deal, I do hope OG artists or on they own that they can get a deal.

Tha Trapp is starting out, but they still haven't hit. Dudes don't have to be on a major, but being on a major is the ONLY way the West will get noticed. Joell Ortiz made his buzz himself and then Dre jumped on it. Bishop's buzz is thanks to Dre, not the other way around. I'm pretty sure Bishop Lamont would just be another New West rapper had Dre not signed him. Now Dre needs to just put him out. Because, out West, putting out a Mixtape here and there means nothing. So until Bishop gets put on to some major records or something with nationwide spotlight on it, dude is just another Hittman. I'm not saying OG's only job is to put people on, but they should look out for the people who are going to carry on what they created. And I'm not saying the new cats should just sit around and wait for OG's to put them on. But, since so many of the old cats have die hard fans (DPG, Cube etc.) who refuse to let them go, they (the OGs) have the ability to make or break an artist with very little effort. If Warren G came on with a brand new West Coast artist, people check for him. If that same artist tried to make noise on his own, a majorityof people would not even bother to click into the thread. Point is, on the West Coast the power isn't held by Major labels or DJs, its held by old ass rappers who don't want to give up their chance to shine.
all yall internet niggas crac me up

Bun B puts on his team Mddl Fngz as well as supporting younger cats like Mike Jones, Chamillionaire, Lil Flip, Paul Wall, T.I. etc. on a regular basis. Pimp C put on Webbie and Boosie. Big Boi got Killer Mike, Purple Ribbon etc. 3-6 Mafia put on Frayser Boy and Lil Wyte as well as show love and support to Young Buck. It just goes on. All the South OG's show love and put on the younger cats. The West does not do that... at all. There's a reason cats are tired of hearing these mid to late 30s cats talking all this shit, but the entire time they ain't doing nothing fresh. So if you sit here and still support these old ass rappers way harder than you would the new rappers, you can suck a dick. The West will die behind you. Ya Boy, Omar Cruz, Game, Jay Rock, Clyde Carson, Big Rich, Balanace, F.A.B., Bishop Lamont, G.Malone, Damani, Topic etc. This is the future of the West.Snoop, Cube, E-40, Too Short are either already in their 40s or are damn near there. Its time to let them go and begin to realize that times are changing. $hort and e-40 are no longer west coast. they was at one point, but turned they back on it.you're lame so they aren't west anymore cause they don't make 90s sounding music ?40 and short are LEGENDS they can do what the fuck they want and they help out new cats on the regular so shut the fuck up 90s nostalgic nerd
