West Coast Hip-Hop & Mainstream

Why people always bring up hits & sales?

If it matteres we would be be on a pop forum.

Or our fav. Artists would be on the Charts.

It was never that way. ESP. with Gangsta Rap, esp. West Coast.

Same goes for all Underground Artists either on Death Row, or From east to the South.

I think that's what Suge definitely knew or (should've known??).

So the whole "not up to [Insert Label] standards, not marketable,etc. makes no sense & sounds like an excuse or blame game.

Thoughts?

Well I agree with that statement...it should be about the dopeness of the product not whether it goes double plat or not

For Sure.

Sometimes eye tink ppl are on some lil wayne x rihanna forums..Comparing Sales & (H)it Factor,etc.

Real Music is not about Sales.

Only the dead fish follow the stream.
