@ KinDaBackPocket......That's exactly the attitude that our young rapper's have and that's why they are so lazy! So why can't they get out and grind like back in the days?? why not?? have you ever watched any documentary's on jay-z, biggie, just to name a few. They used to go to all the clubs and deal with all the dj's, and do lots of other things that i could name but i know yall don't want to read a long ass post. Plain and simple san diego rappers are lazy as fuck. And not consistant for shit! Im not surprised at all at how messed up our rap game is. Everybody want the shine but have no grind. PERIOD!
times are NOT like back in the days either. So grinding is different. Artists get on forums and websites to spread their word... but also the net has also hurt grinding because people have access to alot of these materials that others upload.
there are alot of clubs, but not all are willing to pay for someone they dont know of. DJ's dont spin as much local underground like back in the days, Tv and radio dont play as much either. But you should know this. And its funny specifically said SD rappers, its actually not the only city/region. And again as a fan you should know that the mainstream/industry look for whats hot and what gimmick to run with, not talent anymore. Its why you see alot of good dudes without deals, while some kat can make up a dance or talk about clubs and make money. I also feel its a generation thing. Industry looking for "who's the NEWEST rapper outta.....". When there are alot of good rappers out there, established, good fan bases.
@ f31roger.....If you truly sound like a 80's rapper then im sure your rap career is not doing to well. And that's not a diss. Im not trying to disrespect anybody in anyway. But alot of people on here give bullshit answer's and pump the heads up of certain rapper's that need to really get a reality check. And im not a rapper. Im a fan of music.
Are you Banksta? I was being sarcastic with my statement. As for bullshit answers, you need to step it up as well. Cant tell people "sound like 09, because its 09". as it was brought up earlier, dont be vague, be specific. You cant change people's voices (naturally) or where their from (which effects what they talk about majority of the time). But back it up too. Post a vid or song to show comparison. Like I said, your asking me for myspace page, so you can judge me, because I responded? You want people to sound HOW YOU WANT THEM TO, and how is that gonna happen?
If you are a fan of music, you'd just accept shit the way it is. You either like it or you dont. You'll like one song and not play the ones you dont like. That is how I roll. I aint nobody to judge, I dont have any singing or talent like these katz. I do judge what I buy though. I also give a fair listen to many people I am not up on or know about.
Their aint nothing wrong with "rapping" like the 90's. I dont mind that. As long as I can bump it and feel it, then its all good. Someone brought big june up, I liked flamed up, sounded dope to me.
sonny bo stop cryin homie if a nigga dont like your shit he dont like it.....i aint never heard of 90 percent of these san diego rappers yall mentioned so i cant speak on it..when i think san diego i ve only listened to mitchy jayo and damu other than that..yall shit dont get played out here in the jordan downs or in compton 165 166 to be exact or off oleander or when im on the dime bloc in 60s hood or 35th and denker....im a real niga if i say i dont like your shit i dont like it..oh yea i love scrappin too.....i make thousands off knocin niggaz out
I'm pretty sure alot of shit doesnt get played everywhere. Especially if its bias . You was in the BART section getting up on Smigg's thread, saying shit like "40 glocc" and "Spider loc". I'm pretty sure its the same way down in SD, aint nobody bumpin their music, possibly anyone from those projects as well, unless its some well known name.
and I fail to see what naming off crip territories and talking about fighting have anything to do with this thread. While we off topic, are you street fighting like Kimbo used to or are you actually working with a legitimate fight organization?
