WHAT THE FUCC DO U WANT!!!???!!!???
- Thread starter 5xLoC
- Start date
i feel that...
1) unfortunately my myspace is no sign of my bars... at all.. the music is outdated 2005 or so... (excluding Bust This ... recorded 3 months ago and early summer recorded last march)
i realize thats stupid.. but i honestly am to lazy to release new tuff on myspace for lacc of a record to promote... BUT
for the most part niggaz know my pedigree... (including jayo)...rappers/execs know i got a fierce tongue...but "just bustin" doesnt always translate into my songwriting...
2) i realize i was hella unclear... im not askin what type of rapper i should be... just askin what type of album do people wanna see in 2009... being that rappers have done so much and people are not amazed by it...
so before i stop and drop something this year
i wanna see if this is the right time to drop...
my storytellin album that i got with ecay
my westcoast party shit that i got with F Major
or some more familiar/reality shit that i got with focus, and other producers.
Okay I feel u on that.....
I think every album should have its own unique concept......I also feel artist should focuse more on good production.....Bad production is he fastest way to get a listener to turn ur music off.
Networking with artist and building a fanbase from other regions around the West and not just So Cal would definitly help.....Mitch is notorious for going all over the West and networking......When I say the West niggaz need to go to places outside of Cali....Hit up Washington, Oregan, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Neveda.........Those are major supporters of West Coast music but also places that are neglected when people talk about hi hop.
Mitch and C-Bo are very well known to be posted up in other niggaz hoods out of town and just being a regular nigga w/o a bunch of security....That has nothing to do with the music but it helps build a following and Hood love which is always a positive.
If u got some story telling shit like u said then push that shit......Thats definitley lacking in hip hop.

That's real. Niggas be trying to sell mixtapes in the West, while other niggas in the south and east be giving them away to build their buzz and fanbase.
If I don't know you from the random rappers out there, why am I going to buy your mixtape? Maybe if your mixtape is straight, I'll buy your album (if it's done professionally), but I'd rather buy myself lunch tomorrow than buy your mixtape that may or may not be worth my money.
The other problem with the west in my opinion is niggas are too quick to rely on a formula. How many more "I'm harder than that nigga" tracks need to be made? I understand it's part of the culture, but damn, you ain't got nothing else to say? Do you need to make a track about how hard you are and how litte of a fuck you give? I should be able to pick that up in your voice, delivery and attitude.
The formula gets so old and tired that I can damn near guess what someone's album is going to be about.
1. Intro
2. My neighborhood is rough
3. I don't give a fuck
4. I'm hard
5. For the bitches
6. I smoke the dankest chronic
7. Party track
8. I'm the best hustler you've never heard of
9. I'm the best pimp you've never heard of
10. The hood is fucked up/I miss the homie
11. I'm doing it on a major level, but you've never heard of me
12. I'm bringing the west back
13. Outro
Not necessarily in that order, but that's damn near every album I hear now.
With so many niggas rapping these days (too many) why not find your niche audience and cater to their/your lifestyle instead of trying to please everybody? My music choice depends on the mood I'm in, so if I'm in a deep mood I'll put on that Distant Relatives. If I'm in a smoking mood, I'll put on something to get high to. But really I'm not trying to hear an album that's all over the map and not consistent with a vibe.
I want a well thought out album not just tracks thrown together. If I wanna hear random music I'll just hit shuffle on iTunes.
