To be real with u people though, when folks see Keisha Cole on the BET awards, I guarantee u the Bay didnt even cross their minds. I mean shes from the Bay, but shes a girl. Think about it. She dont rep the Bay. Its like seein Destiny's Child or some shit. No one starts thinkin bout Houston when they come on. Seriously though, thats real talk. Or Mariah Carey or some shit like that, New York never crosses ur fuckin mind.
and thats the reason she can sell the way she does when people go and buy her album thats the last thing on there mind its just about the music thats it but its a different story in hip hop they buy records based on where the artist is from that has a huge influence on it then what his/her street cred is/how he grew up then wut type of style it is gangsta/crunk/hyphy/back pack etc......... so many things fall into place when making up there mind for a purchase its sad and its even more sad when we are from the bay because the country feels if its not NY LA Chicago Miaimi Atlanta then it aint good music or worth the time of checking it out congratz to Keisha for being able to sell records based on talent pz
