When Mellow Man Ace came up to speak at the panel at the Latin Rap Conference in San Diego, he shockingly encouraged everyone to 'boycott all black music.' Although some were for it, the statement was debated and disagreed on by many in attendance. We'll try to keep yall updated on anymore info on this...
Well I wouldnt say most people disagreed only the people that worked in radio(probably because they get promotion money from the major labels to play the other music) and the other one had a job with a major label. Mello is probably right if we Latinos want to hear our music on the radio and see more of our videos on t.v. we Latinos might have to boycott since the buying power of the Latino people is the majority in the U.S. Ive worked in radio for 9 years and all I know is the urban market in radio for California targets at Latin Women......So why dont you hear more Latin Artists? I want you to know that Im not racist this is just a solution to a problem that came up at the conference. Another isssue was the quality of the Latin Rap Music this means we need to be more creative when producing songs such as lyrics and music production and subjects of the music.......to all fellow Latino Rappers its time to get out the N.W.A. era...........lets take it to the next level so we can get represented on the radio and televisions.
