I cant see how you say people are stupid for defendin anything when you lack the basic comprehension skills that many third grader have to understand that no one was really defending gangbanging. We were discussing music. Yeah it is 2009, but when I wake up everyday and leave my house I realize bangin aint really close to being done with. What is really even more idiotic is someone being a member of a website that claims to be the last Sanctuary for Gangsta rap and thinking that peoples attitudes would be any different then they are. If your so grown up go to the Bill O'reilly or Rush Limberg website and converse with more of those with similar views like yours.
Damn 50 cal goes tonite.. Good shit homie..Im not saying that bangin is super cool..But its reality and all the young niggas in my area aint riding skateboards..they banged out like a muh fucka !!
Bangin aint goin nowhere..Its populated all over myspace now..So its very much not played out..Its only played out to the niggas who cant hang with the lifestyle..
FACT..qUIK AND mC eIHT beef..Funny..It was more media hype for the 2..Than them hyping for themselves..Why these 2 niggas never had a real encounter..It was more like they homies beefin..Real Pirus and Real Crips..They Homies...Not qUIK and eIHT..
qUIK makes himself lok foolish..I always seen david..the dj..growin up around the Davis middle school area..Had respect for quik till now..

His albums did not do so well for the same reason most major releases don't do so well anymore. People stopped buying rap music. Isn't Lil Wayne the best selling rap artist right now? He was a few months ago.
And I'm willing to bet that Quick isn't signed to a big label or anything because there's more money where he's at now. That indy money keeps your pockets fat, that major money goes to everybody else.

But it does matter. It's still business and you still have to satisfy your buyers. Gangsta Rap did make him, it made a LOT of people, but it doesn't define him as an artist. Gangsta Rap sold back then because it was new, it was fresh, and people were speaking out against it which made it that much more appealing to the young public. It doesn't sell anymore...people want fresh shit again. So, yea, if you want to make real money in this business, you gotta come with different shit. Content will always matter, indie or major.
Folks saying that Quick should stick to what made him is like telling Prince to stick to the 1999 formula, Ralph Tresvant to stick to the New Edition style, or Quincy Jones to stick to the shit he did in the 1980's.

Man rappers been sellin records talking about the same shit for years...I dont think anyone said quik should stick to anything....what was said was quik should not tell anyone else what they should do. Thats been the whole point of the thread...I dont think there is one person in this thread who can say what you need to do to make it...point would be...why aint they making it....how is your career treating you?
Right, but it should be taken as advice from somebody that's made a good amount of money doing this music shit. I don't think he's trying to tell folks what to do, but he knows that a style of music is played and it doesn't sell like it once did. In any case, I think that's what he was doing. I could be wrong.
My career is treating me fine. I could be doing better, but there's no way in hell I'm going to complain about where I'm at right now...I'm cozy.
