here we go. dont know how to tell you this, but this is why the bay area is the hardest place to blow up.
1. if you get in your car, and drive for 6 hours you can be in l.a. or just about 3-4 hours shy of portland. you can be half way to vegas "a tourist town" not really built for selling records, but a great place to visit, or reno (see vegas on a mini level). if you live in philly, jersey, new york, atlanta, nashville, houston, new orleans, kansas city or any other decent sized market, and get in your car and drive 6-8 hours in any direction you will touch 3-6 states. they say you can go new york to florida in 10-15 hours. SO BASICLY THE WHOLE EASTERN SEA BOARD! california alone is a 10-12 drive and you only have 2 major markets. i mean fresno and bakersfeild are cool for small indie grind, but no real numbers can come from there. so even l.a. has pheonix, tucson and all of new mexico being shared with texas. all within that days drive. THIS PROOVES THE FACT THAT THE REST OF THE MSUIC BUSINESS LOOKS AT US AS REGIONAL BECAUSE WE ARE BASICLY ON OUR OWN ISLAND. WE HAVE BASICLY GEOGRAOHICLY PLACED OURSELVES AS FAR FROM NEW YORK, OOOPS, I MEAN SUCCESS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS AS POSSIBLE! CONGRADULATIONS WE HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHY THEY STEAL FROM US AND NEVER GIVE BACK. THEY DONT HAVE TOO! WE ARE IRRELEVANT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i love this. why im not sure, but fuck it i love it anyways!
you pile indie label on top of indie label, broke as fuck with no real hit making capablity right here in the bay and you get what we (bay area labels and rappers) are. a bunch of copy cat, broke, shadows of our old self. with no selling power. it now boils down to what street cred? hahahahahahahahah that and .50 cents will get you a cup of coffee at def jam, universal and or interscope. oh and it will also get you anywhere from probation to life in prison! so have at it! we have 3-5 bonified clicks in the bay area who are finacially successfull on even the smallest scale. smallest scale being 3-4 releases a year which sale 10-20,000 units a peice. (not including E-40 and Too-SHort) and i guess you can throw Baby Bash in that too) cause the days of any rapper NOT just bay rappers selling 100,000 indie ARE OVER! THEY WILL NOT BE BACK. SORRY.
i hate typing, but ill be back with more reasons. trust me i have about 30 as to why failure may be the only option! hahahahahahahahaha
let the hate begin you fuckers dont scare me!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahah
