i realized what i think about kreayshawn this weekend. she is coo and i support what she's doing and blah blah blah whatever...

but i wouldn't listen to the shit on my own, and that's coo too. to me her music is too feminine and she's speaking from a perspective i don't care to hear on the regular, and it's definitely not something i could put on and nod my head to.

she's rapping about girl shit from a sensibility we're used to hearing from dudes, but it's still female shit. imo females should rock w/this shit, that's dope. and i'd fuck w/females that fuck w/this shit cause they're prolly down or w/e. and she fills an interesting a niche that definitely isn't filled yet, and i understand and appreciate what she's doing.

but i don't think i've ever put on a bitch rapper cd and just chilled and listened to a bitch rap.

I think some of you only like this shit because she claims to be from Oakland or is from the bay or what not. If this bitch was from LA or NY yall would be trashing her complaining that nobody with talent from here gets put on. This shit is garbage and with all the talented Bay Area artists that get rejected this shit is a fucking joke.

i dont get why people act like big labels have X amount of deals to hand out to bay area artists and people like Kreayshawn are taking them.

The last person to legitimately ruin anything for bay artists is Mistah FAB, and that wasnt even completely his fault. After his "ghostride it" video got banned the hyphy movement died and the bay became irrelevant on the bigger scale.

But honestly, when are these labels going to realize that gimmicky type shit from the bay doesnt do any good? Hyphy=barely any sales, The Pack=laughable sales, lil b=doubt he'll sell anything....maybe they should finally release someone like Clyde Carson or Ya Boy and see if that does any good.

but there is a good chance that no one from the bay will truly make it big anytime soon.

this is an underground gangster rap message board.

the world doesn't want to hear underground gangster rap, and that's OK. all is well with the cosmos, BUT people should be glad there's shit coming out of the bay that people do want to hear.

or maybe those cats & some other bay rappers should have shined when they had a buzz 7, 8 years ago. smh

rappin is a young persons game... if you aint a recognized vet, & you past 27, 28 years old,... you better be doing this for the love of it.

let me bold / italic that prolific phrase once again, that makes so much sense & is 100.

rappin is a young persons game
I agree. i said someone LIKE them. the big labels have taken notice to YB and Clyde but never did anything with either of them. There are more artist like them in the bay that are young and could be put out. Erk & Nio are 2 that quickly come to mind.

i think some of yall are forgetting we also listen to different genres of music and hip hop is widely known as a borrower of genres...since rap has been created its been partnered with everything from electroclash to rock to heavy metal...now i dont know about yall but sometimes i listen to music where a bitch is singing or talking (for instance: cat power, janis joplin, the 4,5,6's, etc etc) so kreyshawn rapping aint really gonna bother me if i can put up with a whiny white bitch crooning in another genre, rap being my favorite genre.

thats why id listen to kreyshawns album...sure im not gonna find it an instant classic and its probably not gonna replace me playing lil b songs which basically repeat suck my dick ho over and over...

lemme put it to you like this:

1) kreyshawn sees lil b rap
2) kreyshawn says 'hey i can make a living out of this too?'
3)kreyshawn puts album out

what i mean is....she technically is the female lil b...with all the songs b has about sexually disrespecting women (this is what ive heard from women) kreyshawn seems to be a natural progression of lil b's style, a woman in the same lane who might be somewhat empowered feminist wise. a artist who can say she isnt bothered by lil b's chants of 'suck my dick ho' and can swim in the same uncharted waters which is hipster rap.

expect to see this more, which makes me wonder, did lil b do something he didnt expect to do to the rap game, or was he just seeking change?

as a rap/hip hop 'businessman" i find this cycle interesting and all i can say to you is that im watching with both eyes open cuz all this ='s $$$ to me....word to strech

i mean its obvious white women are more marketable than black males

you can argue that if you want

but black males are marketable in a 'taboo' way

ESPECIALLY IN RAP.

EG: "wild negro turned intellect"
"wild negro fresh out of jail tells story of pain"

etc etc

so my question is this, what does a white girl from oakland rap about?
thats why ill check it. im interested in what this bitch has to rap about...cuz i live a wild life and i dont even rap

but i doubt kreyshawn will singlehandedly gentrify oakland....shes just the poster girl of said gentrification in process...there wasnt a white girl to rap 10 years ago in oakland...thank the powers that be for that....when houses got foreclosed in oakland and people moved from sf/daly city etc etc to oakland in order to save money on rent....this has been going on since possibly the early 90s...which would date it 20 odd years ago?

and if you guys wanna feel better about this

there was a group called 'anticon' in the late 90s, avant garde hip hop...they all moved to oakland and claimed it their home

before this, living legends did the same thing. dont worry..oakland will always still be oakland....no matter what city folk move to the town

IMO, it's cause they are not that marketable... Well, clyde @ least & tho I feel he is a BEAST on the mic, they just need that "UMPH" to make a star.
How is Clyde any less marketable than an artist like wayne, chamillionaire, 50 cent, etc etc.


He has always been one of the most mainstream friendly artists in the bay IMO. but thats just my opinion

1. chamillionaire and 50 cent aren't marketable anymore
2. lil wayne is marketable as shit. if clyde were as marketable as him he'd be somewhere right now.

not to be a dick but i don't think anticipating audience tastes is your strong suit. clyde carson does absolutely nothing to differentiate himself as a person or an artist, and it's because he's just not that dude.

im asking what makes wayne marketable..

and i dont listen to anything on the radio these days, so i couldnt name anyone other than chamillionaire and 50 cent haha.

the only rappers that have sold a solid amount of records in the last couple years are Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake...That's pretty much it. Apparently either being a veteran or being associated with one is the only way to be successful.

half of the marketable people are slightly gay in 2011...lil wayne kisses baby, wayne blows up...lil b names album im gay, gets in magazines he would have never got into..drake? look at him..thats a male?..the power players in the music industry are all fags and wanna see themselves win....of course thats just a hypothesis

thats why i think kreyshawn could do good...cuz theres a feminist spirit in her and that hasnt been seen yet in hip hop. a straight woman can be feminist... all the female mcs liked dick, were overtly sexual and thats how they sold. ive noticed no one even knew nicki minaj's whole sexuality and that fueled her sales..

women are like inbetween...like males will exccept the fact they like women cuz we like women. this makes it a entire different playing field psychologically in rap music and if sales will be changed by that psychology

fuck it, maybe this bitch will say something that will make me 1/50th understand women more, closer to breaking the labirynth of which is a bitches mind

someone might have been right when they said 'this is gonna take away from real shit getting sales" but looks like now were just gonna have to sit back and watch...

wayne is marketable because of a number of intangible factors. he has engineered and manifested an edge that ties into people's interest and attraction to gangs, his lyrical style and vocal inflection have helped him set himself apart musically, and overall he is a charismatic individual. on top of all that shit, he's a drug addict rockstar ass motherfucker and that ties it all together and packages it for the hip-hop audience that still buys music today.

his image is what makes him and other successful artists what they are, he makes his image appealing and believable to a huge cross-section of the united states hip-hop market. his publicity and music itself substantiate the image he has created for himself.

clyde carson has no image. and if he does, there's a reason it hasn't hit in the audiences he would have liked it to.
