Message to siccness and SAN JOSE artist

[THACRITIC408]

First off this is a positive post

I understand alot of cats are still not on board with san jo artist and there music.I know alot of people feel there is still more music they need to hear to make them feel that san jose is a city with talent in tha bay area..I hope everyone will keep checking out san jo artist and watch the music and the moves that are made.I hope we can bring everyone in the fold of what we got poppin..


@San Jose Artist

Im glad to see more and more cats doing there thang and trying to get shit poppin 4 tha city.I hope more cats support each other so we can make this a city that is seen as a talent pool and can get good music to tha streets.If your a san jo artist its ok to support others even if that aint your crew or your circle.Its ok to up someones post it ok to repost stuff it will only help us all in the long run.Once the city gets it light the whole rap game out here gets it light.You dont have to like every artist out here u dont even gotta fuck with them,But lets show that we can all at least put for the same thing.

And thats getting SAN JO its due respect....



Thanks Yall and god bless everyone doing tha damn thing!!!

weather or not anyone is from san jo, or any other city. i support any one hustlin to get theyre's, and putting time and thought into theyre craft. alot of cats just have to learn how to start handlin them selves as men. and then learn how to make moves as business men. theyres a shit load of people who call them selves artists and pretend like professionals but know nothin about the game and the industry.
i myself have done a shit load of things for artists that i didnt have to. opened up doors connected networks. and shared connections and givin guidance. and done free shit for, but alot places i go doin music.. i run into cats that say they have had bad experiances when meeting san jose artists. or the artists rubbed them the wrong way. thats on them. and its all politics.. and the only thing that ever gonna to over shadow politics. is hard work..

so i applaud who ever is puttin in the work, and takin this shit serious. and

its about money, hustle, and quality music.. '

not the bitchez.
not cuz u wanna be cooler than ur friends.
not cuz u dont want a 9 to 5.


so us all supporting each other.. would only benefit if we all baught each other projects. to increase sales. but no one has good physical distro from our city.. so the soundscans wont show and wont draw the attention of major labels.. or even regional distro companies.

who do u see really goin hard..

flyers everywhere all over the west.. posters in every store.. heavy net promo.... rockin shows every weekend.. gettin on songs wit majors artists. a large team of dedicated people. shit who out here even has a real manager. VERY FEW!
its hard to hear but its the truth.

nothin were doin is really impressive

rae is doing what he can.
and makin moves. and gettin digi distro.

royalty. from our city probobly gave the biggest push to his carreer. and got hatin on for it.. cuz it wasnt the way other people would have done it.

money tree as a camp... does they fukn thing.. but lacks street presents. but business wise and networking is way ahead of almost errybody out here.

to name a few

the game is fukd up and grimey.. and is a worste state than it ever has been b4..

how do mutha fukas expect to get anywhere as artists being more lazy than the artists 10 years ago.

when finaces and sales are at an all time low.

so u have to go 10 times harded yourself..

its gonna take waaaaayyyyy more than some real artists holding hands with a bunch of half ass artists. and sayin we'ere all together. its is a start i will say that.. but it takes more than that.

alot of san joses culture is gang bang. alot of street shit is gang bang.. so its gonna be alot harded to get on in an urban market. when our homebase is sumthing else.

it can be done.. but it has to be done the ritre way.

who here has an actual full detailed business plan...



im done typing.. i was typing well i was in the car on my side kik on the way to sac. im here now..,


prolly gonna catch sum feeling for m,y oppinions. especially cuz im a young dude. but shit . it happens..


i love my city.

cuz for me the positive out weighs the negative,,

and for me being from san jose.. has almost never gotten in the way of my succes.. to tell u the truth the only thing that ever got in the way of my success. was the actual people from the city.. but i guess its that old crabs in a bucket mentality

peace

[KillaKali]

amen to pope critic. real shit fam keep pushin' for the TANK. I see ALOT of talent poppin' up for the hometeam, it's a real good look.

 

[radiostationrep]

san jose ,imo, is an untapped market for whatever reason. if an artist from san jose can get support from home, they could possibly see 5-10k in sales i feel. there is alot of people in san jose. you would only have to touch 2% or so of the total population, i think.

*edit*
if you sold a cd to .5% which is half a percent of the total population, you would be looking at 5,000 sales. 1% and you would be at 10,000. it is a numbers game.
