SCIENCE
The way the game is structured out here in the Bay is totally different.
The game out here, (as we all know well,) is based on the independent hustle. This is due to the fact that it aint no REAL music money out here. It aint no major labels out here backing us. True, you can make a killin' if you move 100,00 units independently, but aint no one from the Bay really doing that anymore. We did what we had to do to keep it movin through these meager times and now we're getting to the point where the game needs to change again.
Look at the way New York has dominated the game. In NY, the game is structured around the mix tape system. It all starts there. From there, talented artists do demos, aimed at attracting a major label deal. There aint much of an independent scene out there. Not like the Bay.
See, it's relatively easy to get a deal in NY if you know the right people. This is cause major label funding is abundent out there. The labels are in tune to what's going on in the street scene wit mixtapes and all. The labels have CAPITAL. They're backed by multi-billion dollar, international corporations who spend a million like it's nuthin'. If an album flopps, so what? They still raping the rest of the world in many other forms. NY has abundant talent and $$$ and that's why they controling the game right now.
Out here in the Bay, contrary to popular belief, we do have an abundance of talent. We just need more labels wit deep pockets. A few major players out here wouldn't hurt us. The indie scene would still flourish. We would be able to make more of a mark on the game, and in hip-hop culture in general. Big $$$ means more marketing, more promotion, more artist developement. This is what the Bay needs to get back in the limelight. They don't even need to be major label/corporate companies. It could be just one lucky rich cat who loves Bay Rap, who decides to breath life into the game.
Imagine a C-Bo, or an A-Wax, or a Dobad album wit a million dollar budget. Or any dope lyricist from the Bay for that matter.
WE WOULD CHANGE THE GAME.
