How long, how many years do you think it will take before we have a new relevant westcoast artist on TV, if GAME doesnt do good numbers of his next release?

@NEMO & TOPIC

I THINK EVEN GAME HOPES HE DO THE NUMBERS.ALL THEM MIXTAPES AND ALL THE TIME HE SPENT ON DISS TRACKS I HOPE THAT DONT OR DIDNT TAKE AWAY FROM THE ALBUM. I WAS NEVER A BIG GAME FAN AT ALL BUT I LOVE WHEN THE WEST WINS SO I HOPE HE DO HIS NUMBERS.I THINK THE ONE BLOOD SINGLE IS A WAY TO SHOW HE IS IN CONTROL OF HIS PROJECT BUT I DONT THINK THAT WAS A GOOD FIRST SINGLE I THINK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIS SECOND SINGLE MY SELF.


I GUESS WE WILL SEE ON THE FIRST WEEKS SOUNDSCAN...RIGHT NOW GAME IS THE BIGGEST RAPPER FROM THE WEST"IN THE PUBLICS EYES"SO WE WILL HAVE TO SEE IF HE CAN HOLD IT DOWN ON THIS ON AND DO WHATIT DO...

To me there really isnt a worst case scenario because Snoop will be out. Now if you're saying a "new" west coast rapper....man who knows...that could be years and years. The industry already doesnt really want us in the game as is. And the one with the most power in the industry(Dre) doesnt seem to be too concerned

WHEN?

I DONT THINK YOU CAN REALLY PUT A TIME LINE ON IT

1.WE DONT KNOW ALL THE WEST COAST ARTIST THAT ARE SIGNED AND WE DONT KNOW WHEN THERE GOING TO DROP(SAYING MAYBE SOME NEW CATS JUST GOT A DEAL)

2.WHAT CONTROL DO WE REALLY HAVE ON MAKING ARTIST MAJOR TO FILL THE SPOT OF THOSE THAT WERE ONCE THERE. THE INDUSRTY IS THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO MAKE IT GO BIG IF THEY FEEL THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE SO WE REALLY DONT KNOW.

I THOUGHT THE INDUSRTY WOULD HAVE ALREADY TRY TO MAKE A "BIG" GROUP TO FEED OFF THE BAY AND WERE THE MOVMENT IS AT. BUT THAT I HAVE YET TO SEE.

ITS A DAMN SHAME THE "GAME" IS THE ONLY REAL BIG ARTIST OUT FROM CALI.SNOOP IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AROUND HE IS A ICON IN THE PUBLICS EYES BUT I MEAN THERE REALLY AINT NO WEST COAST RAPPERS ON IN THE INDUSRTY.LOOK AT THE AWARDS JUS A EMPTY VOID FOR THE WEST?

WHEN AND WHO WILL BRING IT BACK IS THE QUESTION.....?

THE FACT OF THE MATER IS THAT HE WILL DO GOOD, AND HE STILL HAS ALOT OF PEOPLE HERE ON THE BEST COAST WHO DONT SUPPORT HIM....IF THOSE PEOPLE DONT GET BEHIND HIM AND SUPPORT THE WESCOAST MOVEMENT WITH HIM AT THE HELMS, ITS GONNA BE ALONG FUCKIN TIME BEFORE ANYONE GETS THAT MUCH EXPOSURE....

If Game don't sell, I think that it will be however long it takes a BIG NAME Wescoast producer to get behind a young hungry artist. QUIK can do it, DRE obviously can do it, Ric Rock can do it. They have the machines to get product out worldwide and airplay on many, many stations. There are plenty of cats out there that have what it takes to be "The One", but that strong label push and top notch production is what's missing in the majority of cases. Shit with the amount of effort DRE put into Busta Rhymes album...EVEN I coulda went GOLD. (joke)

Ohhhh. the topic is TV! lol

I think Mitchy Slick may be gracin the airwaves soon. Battle Loco sounds tight. I can see both of these dudes on T.V wether or not Game sells.

Tooo Much Coffee today...rambling on an thangs. lol

dont' worry ....

early 2007 - Glasses Malone's album pushed by SONY
early-mid 2007 - Omar Cruz's album pushed by GEFFEN/INTERSCOPE
mid-late 2007 - Bishop Lamont's album pushed by AFTERMATH

& then you have all the ogs dropping albums consistently....
with or without game the situation is pretty cool right now imo....

If he doesnt do numbers, i think it will be real soon that we see another west coast artist...I doubt that we would have to wait cuz the shine is making its way west, the industry has too many southern cats, all music is starting to sound the same mainstream wise...PPL are naturally gonna search for somethin better, i think that process has already started and its movin westward...I think the situation with Mitchy Slick has a real positive outlook. I think dude has potential to make some noise nation-wide, specially cuz hes got a large following of daygo ppl behind him. We'll be in good shape regardless of what The game does, but i doubt game does anything less then platinum.

BOTTOM LINE IS WE HAVE TO STOP HATING!!! BECAUSE EVERYONE FROM SQUARES TO THUGS IS A RAPPER...NOW PEOPLE WHO USED TO BUY EVERYONE'S CD'S IS NOW A RAPPER AND SUPPORTING HIS OWN CAREER, SAME WITH ALL THE FOLKS AROUND HIM(FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS), THEY'LL SUPPORT HIM EVEN THOUGH HIS MUSIC AINT NOWHERE AS GOOD AS SAN QUINN, MESSY MARV, E-40, OR YA'BOY...INDEPENDENT RAP STILL SELLS LIKE IT USED TO, ITS JUST THAT INSTEAD OF 10 YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WERE ONLY 70 BAY AREA RAPPERS INSTEAD OF 70 IN EACH BIG NEIGHBORHOOD... SO THE FOCUS IS NOT ALL ON 1 ARTIST. THAT'S WHAT PROMOTION DOES...BUT WHO PROMOTES THE HARDEST, OR THE MOST EFFECTIVE? THATS WHAT WILL TAKE THE NEXT WEST COAST ARTIST TO GOLD OR PLATINUM(MTV, BET)...HIS LABEL, HIS HISTORY(HATERS DON'T SUPPORT FOLKS THEY DON'T RELATE TO-RELATED TO IGNORANCE), WHO'S ENDORSING HIM, DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE RADIO POLITICS SO IT BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO $$$$$$$$$$$. SO NEMO.....HOW LONG, NOT TOO LONG, MAYBE A YEAR OR SO, TILL THESE BIG COMPANIES FEEL THAT SOMEONE OUT HERE CAN BE TAMED AND OR MOLDED INTO WHAT THEY WANT.... THAT'S WHY I SAY DO IT INDEPENDENTLY!!!!!!!!

WHATS UR TAKE ON GAME NEMO????
His 16's are FIRE! but I think he lacks alittle on the choruses(Im speaking about post 50 cent work). This comment is based upon what Ive heard on the mixtapes hes released. I have have my fingers crossed hoping his album does very well, im a fan, and anything doing good numbers from the west is a very very good thing.
