a lot of em don't push their shit. some do, but this summer and in the last 5 months i've been rollin throughout the town a lot (seattle)...filming videos and dvd shit for like 2-3 months every day after i got off work, and every weekend all day....i didn't see a single person promoting shit. i would have thought someone, at least one person woulda been otu there...but nope.
what people need to do...is go to SPORTS GAMES (pro and high school) and promote and sell cd's there.....40K+ people at a baseball game and you can't sell 20 cd's...then you are wack sauce and need a day job.
and part of it is, people don't know WHEN the albums are coming out.....cause there's really not a lot of heavy advertising, barely any on the radio if any at all, and myspace is really the only other option.....
people just need to get along, and do shows to promote the region and themselves, not just themselves....being selfish is good, but you have to have balance...and the NW music scene as far as rap/hip hop go is lacking that....cause it's like HIGH SCHOOL with people forming cliques adn then hatin on other people and talking shit. it is what it is....and it doesn't effect my life greatly so i ain't trippin...but it'd be nice to see people with talent make something of it adn get a good break.
