LYNCH BY INCH POSSIBLY THE THING TO BRING THE WEST BACK!

[Darkshowdown]

@ Loki My bad playa.

The tattoos, corn rolls and Wife Beaters and Khaki's look for a rapper originated from Cali. I think the problem with Cali's underground is the same as any other coast and thats the fucked up politics of the mainstream. They really don't wanna help the underground acts blow up. Shits based on a certain sound now to go mainstream. It's hard to blow up if your original because the mainstream is scared to take a big risk, Thats why when we get an open opportunity we need to destroy the door.

Why everybody bothered that underground dont go mainstream????? It's underground for a reason......I dont want millions of folks bumpin what I do....I actually put in work to find what I like, unlike all the fucks watching mtv and listening to the radio. Like I said before, the ONLY reason I would want them to blow up to some extent would be to get money that's well deserved. Unless the artist personally is trying to go break through.....then thats their decision.....you dont hear too many tight westcoast rappers whinin about how they aint gettin radio play outside of the westcoast though.....

i'm not talkin bout everybody bumpin lynch.i'm talking about gettin the lime light back in cali weather they be north or south.

sumone needs to step up for people to recognize we originated whut people are biting now in the east especially.

how many times have sumone hated on your music when it's harder then that mainstream bullshit they're brainwashed into?

i could give you a bunch of examples but i'm not tryena bust no one out!

 

[loki]

so the west is the kaiser souza of hip-hop;
still, you want some champions out there,
some recognition, right? sometimes there
is more power in playing the shadows.
i don't endorse all these cats biting us
without the props due but we getting
shit handled. look at how much more
the westside has influenced hollywood:

john singleton (from 'boys in the hood'
to '2 fast, 2 furious')

ice cube ('barbershop,' 'benjamins,' 'friday,'
'anaconda'–my favorite BAD movie–& so on)

mack 10 (several independant efforts)

dr. dre & snoop ('carwash,' 'half-baked,'
'training day')

the hughes brothers ('menace 2 society,'
'dead presidents,' 'from hell'–a breakout
film in that these 'urban' filmakers wasn't
making an 'urban' film)

ice-t ('new jack city' & a whole truckload
of shit since then)

tupac ('juice' to 'gang-related')


from the rest:
matty rich (who? he was jersey's answer
to singleton's 'boys in the hood' w/ his
own lesser 'straight out of brooklyn')

nick (forget his last name; think it's
cassavettes or sounds like that) who did
'new jersey drive' (great fuckin movie)
& 'illtown' w/ micheal rappaport

eve ('barbershop' & 'xxx')

queen latifah ('set it off' & this new
one, 'bringing down the house,' a
flick leftover from the 90's kid & play
era of blaxploitaion cinema that
somehow got the green light in
2002)

dmx ('belly,' 'cradle 2 the grave')

hype williams ('belly')

john leguizamo (from 'the pest' to
'empire')

...thats just for starters. out of the east coast
camp the only big impact made thus far is from
dmx. leguizamo comes in 2nd but w/ a spotty
record. the lah got herself an oscar
nomination but then again she did that
'house' movie–embarrassing. i'm looking
for big things from eve & that's about it.

from the west coast: ice-t has his
fingers in everything which tends to water
his shit down but the man is an undeniable
influence on everythang in the game–if not
for him half these other folks wouldn't be
here. the hughes brothers & singleton have
broke out from being 'urban' to just being
good film-makers. tupac: 'nuff said. he
would have taken an oscar had he stuck
around. ice-cube: friday alone made his
ticket & he keeps on coming w/ 'em.

from the middle of the u.s. we got
eminem & masta p's brief run in the
spotlight. eminem was good in '8
mile,' but it was hardly worth an
oscar nomination–that came from
the collective group of white folks who
can accept his brand of controversy
cause he looks like them–& masta p...
he scared the shit out of art-snobs w/
the impact of 'bout it' & the 'hook-up'
movie was actually good & funny but
he's fallen of the radar since then.

not that i don't want us to shine now,
who doesn't, but just to play a lil
devil's advocate & remind y'all of the
impact we still got on the game.

'nuff said.

i agree, the rappers on mtv just plain suck and so do the people who like them.

if somebody thought the west coast had no more good rappers just because they didnt see any on mtv, then i wouldnt worry wether we impressed him or not because they are obviously a fake fuck who knows nothing about underground rap.
