None of you know this......but, Davina did a couple of traxs for this label last year and some radio heads went CRAZY over it. It is not so much norte music but more "marketable to the masses music" its hard to describe it cause it ain't sell out at all but it's not like alot of the music on her album. Anyway for what it's worth the program director said and I quote " this song will blow up in my market" However, me and my 9 station connection are all older white men. We are "AFRAID" of this look. Now he did not come out and say NORTE he said that there was a "NEAR" riot between the norte and surenos at the fair grounds somewhere in norcal at a fairground and they lost there hookup over a lil rob show. So with that they did not want to fuck with any indie artist who might have affiliations. Now I know how he was acting when the song was playing and then how he did a 180 when he saw her myspace page. This was before she and Big Tone even dropped LAST LAUGH. So her page looked a little different. It sucks but thats what this industry is. Guys I have heard Davina do alot of music and right now I don't know too many females that can fade her. Shit, producers and engineers love her talent.......but they not feeling the whole norte way. If Sav it Out makes the decision to put Davina out without all the red and 1's and 4's I gaurantee she explodes on more of a national level! She is that good guys I don't know if you guys really know how good she really is! Now some people may call that a sell out. Some may not. Thats a decision for Sav it Out but I know what that PD told me and I think it is unfortunate but those old white men have been making money off niggas for a while so they know what they gettin but as far as the latin gangsta shit, they ain't fucken with it.......not until somebody sell a gang of records like 50-75 thousand copies of NORTE MUSIC. Now it ain''t like radio is everything but it is the quickest way to marketing. I hope I didn't put no one on blast but I feel it's fucked up how they doin Davina not just at this Bars shit but in other arenas as well.
Peace
MAN I THINK THATZ BULLSHIT HOMIE..... LIKE DAVINA SAID, IF YOU WOULD OF LISTEN TO THE ALBUM, YOU WOULD OF NOTICED THAT SHE DIDNT GANGBANG NOT ONCE IN HER SHIT, THERE WAS NO NORTE THIS, KILL A SCRAP THAT..... IT WAS MUSIC THAT EVERYONE COULD RELATE TO, WICH ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE..... THOUGH THE MAJORITY OF OUR FANZ IS RAZA AND OUR NORTHERN PEOPLE, BUT WE ALSO GOT A HUGE FAN BASE WITH THE WHITES AS WELL..... I COULD GUARANTEE YOU, IF DAVINA WOULD OF CAME OUT FIRST WITH ANY OTHER LABEL AND WITHOUT DOIN ANY FEATURES THAT SHE HAS DONE, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN RECONIZED FOR HER TALENT AS MUCH AS SHE IS NOW. NOT TO SOUND COCKY, BUT IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT FROM OUR PEOPLE AND SOME SQUARE ASS LABEL WAS TRYIN TO PRESENT HER IT WOULD OF BEEN ALOT HARDER FOR US TO TAKE HER SERIOUSLY, IT WOULD OF BEEN LIKE ANOTHER AMERICAN IDOL WANNA BE IN MY OPINION.... BUT SHE CAME OUT REAL, AS WHO SHE IS, AND NOW LOOK AT THE DUST SHE KICKED UP..... YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYIN JUST TO GET ON THE LEVEL SHE IS, ITS HARD TO GET RECONIZED IN THIS BUSINESS, AND EVERYONE KNOWZ IT....
AS FOR THE SQUARE ASS WHITE PEOPLE ON YOUR 9 STATION CONNECT THAT ARE SCARED OF WHAT WE STAND FOR, WHY WOULD IT MATTER TO THEM WHAT HER MYSPACE LOOKED LIKE.... IF THEY WANTED TO SPIN A SONG AND YOU HAD THE PLUG LIKE YOU SAID, THEY WOULD OF PLAYED THAT SHIT TO PROMOTE YOUR C.D. REGARDLESS OF WHAT SHE REPRESENTS.....I THINK YOUR FULL OF SHIT BRO.... WE NEVER AIMED FOR THE RADIO TO START OFF WITH, WE WANTED TO FLOOD THE STREETS, THEN IF THAT SUCCEEDS LIKE ITS DOIN WE WOULD WORK TO GET A TRACK ON THE RADIO FROM THE NEXT ALBUM....BUT I GUESS THAT DIDN'T MATTER BECAUSE 97.7 GOT A HOLD OF ONE OF THE ONE TRACKZ WHERE ME N WOODIE REPRESENTED OUR SHIT, "TAKE IT BACK" AND THEY SPUN IT A FEW TIMES WITHOUT US KNOWIN.... ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE IS LIL CONER N TITO B.... THERE GETTIN SPUN ON WILD 94.9 AND THEY'RE WELL KNOWN TO BE HOMIEZ...... SO THAT COMMENT YOU SAID OF "LATIN GANGSTA SHIT THEY AINT FUCKIN WITH IT"..... EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE OUR TIME TO SHINE WITH OUT SELLING OUT.....
OH YA, I DO RECALL "ROMPED OUT NORTENO" GETTIN SPUN ON 106 KMEL WAY MORE THAN A FEW TIMES.....
REAL MUSIC WILL BE RECONIZED FOR WHAT IT IZ.....
