ok ok lets get to it bay fans

1]awol...i guess there was no way they could handle there amount of artists at a time...here are 2 personal awol stories...i was in a seattle studio and 151 had written his hated on sight motto on the wall..haha

funk daddy was steady tellin me that c-bo was never gonna get his proper amount of paper ...so...he took that 500 sl benz that he always rapped about...

the point is during late 90's awol just kept dropping mobb beat cds...but if you go back and listen it sounds wayyyyy dated[fo' real big time,there whole killa-killa vibe iz pulch


2]highside...

i will never forget young ridah dropped a cd then he was in turf hoggs...you tell me anotha bay rapper that dropped a solo then a group cd in like a few months period...

b.dame had a real impressive mini empire going...

i remeber b-12 saying yes, he is doing ok but no big sales..

but still mic-c,hollow,plus streets of sac...dont undermind there pull around 98

3]cali ent...my pick awol was bound to crumble cause c-bo was to expensive,b.dame was a crook

but when cali ent dropped fast dreams,greedy,and my fav mak all in like a 1 year time frame one of the most impressive bay labels ever...

so what label do u miss the most?....

i miss cali ent,,,cause that shit should still be up and running...where awol and highside where bound to end

speak on it...............

4 sure , I would have thought everyone from the crest would stick together & keep that label alive w/ DIGNITY !!!!!!!! ..... His face gracing the covers of some acts is just not right.

Gateway Records - ?????? P.S.D. & J. Diggs released under them.

out of bounds records - big Hollis

outback records - ?????

Cavi R records - coolio's da unda dogg

its all a dam shame.......

i NEVER copped an AWOL CD and didnt like it, i miss those days where u could buy a album and didnt have to worry about it being good or not. u seen a new Bo Cd or Killa Tay ect.. u knew it was gonna be the shit. thats why i still bump all that old AWOL shit. it shits on pretty much anything new to come out for a long time. woulda been nice if 3XCrazy would have got to drop an album while they were signed under AWOL

I think if you wanna talk sales it'd be AWOL and Dog Day. Dog Day was a fuckin empire back in the day, don't forget that.

I don' think Done Deal qualifies as a label that "crumbled." Most of the artists left to go on to what they considered bigger and better things. Plus most of them seem to maintain working and personal relationships today. Shame they all couldn't have stayed on the same boat, would have been the right choice for all of them imo.
