"true spill"!

SavageC - I'm not tryin to come across as some almighty know-it-all that's better than everybody. I hope you didn't take it that way. If you did, well that's you. I'm basically speaking from what I feel is the perspective of the consumer right now. Mufuckas come on here and think by talkin their shit up and promotin it on a few message boards that it's actually going to do something .... I'm not an optimist nor a pecimist (sp?) - I'm a REALIST. I'm going to be realistic when I speak. If I unintentionally piss on a few parades, there's nothing I can do about that.

Take that album you're promoting in your sig right there for instance. That is exactly what's wrong with the shit that's coming out right now. All the way down to the logo for the graphics company. I haven't heard the album mind you, but just on how you're presenting it, I'll go out on a limb and say it more than likely won't be any different than 80% of the releases that came out this year. Shall I explain?

#1 ... First off, you're making the same mistake almost all of the releases made this year. You're trying to let the features sell the album. Gone are the days when mufuckas used to buy ANYTHING that their favorite artist featured on. That shit is over with. You're making yourself a guest on your own album. I'm tellin y'all, be your own artist. It's damn near 2003, mufuckas been tryin to sell their album based on their features since ... what? .. 96-97? If you feel that's the ONLY way for you to sell records cause your a new artist then don't quit your day job cause this shit aint for you. Not just you Savage-C, I'm speaking in general on that last point.

#2 ... The cover. How many covers are there out there with the members of the group or the solo artist superimposed in front of his/her city? C'mon man. And looking at the cover, I'm poised to ask whether this is a compilation (compilations have BEEN dead) or a group album. The name don't help either. Back to the compilation point, it's hard to tell whether the 2 guys on the cover are the 'Nocturnal Hustlers' or whether it's a comp and it's called 'Nocturnal Hustlers'. And to be honest, if the 2 cats on the cover are the 'Nocturnal Hustlers' the guy on the left loses cool points for that shirt he got on. Basically saying that it would be hard based on looks and all of the shit that's come before you guys to take y'all serious. But again, I haven't heard the music.

#3 ... To the graphics company logo. I could be wrong (I've been wrong in the past), but I'm guessing the guy that did your cover has no more experience (well maybe a little more) doing covers and layouts than I do. I used to do bullshit covers back in the day just fuckin around and it's so easy to make something like what you have there it's ridiculous.

#4 ... Pervelous P Entertainment. That's good to advertise your Entertainment company. But what else you got comin? Is it really coming out? What happens if this album goes double-cardboard? Is that it? Did you waste all that time and space in a few record stores for nothing?

Savage-C, take my points seriously, but not so serious where you get to calling me out of my name and shit. Everything I stated can be said about your album, and a very large number of other albums. Like B-12-the-snake-charmer said in another post, it's too easy to make something and get it out there. And like Sick Wid It said, just because you can put something out, don't mean you need to. But again, I haven't heard your music so I won't say anything about the music. But on the surface, you got yourself an album that's been done before.

LOL...
ALRIGHT THEN...

THIS CAT BROKE IT DOWN FO REAL.

REMIND ME OF D-Locc FROM THE OLD BOARDS WHEN I ACTUALLY HAD TIME TO BREAK SHIT DOWN.


if only more muthafuccaz could use their brainpower....

...just listen to Mac & AK and you'll find out!! Nothin but PURE HEAT, POINT BLANK....
I finally agree with you on something Tadou. Other than that though all I've seen from you is a lot of gabberin' from day one.

Drop some songs on us. I think I've only heard one song put online by you and it was nothin' special. Yet you still come on the boards runnin' your mouth about a business you've never even been in. If you have posted other songs, my bad. Point me in their directions so I can check 'em out. I'll give an honest review 'cause I give everyone a chance.

I usually don't attack anyone on these boards 'cause I'm a calm, laid back person (actually I don't even think this is an attack), but one would think with all the big talk you put out that the consumers on these boards would be blessed to hear some of your songs. Post some of your songs up is all I'm askin'. If you think you're the next big thing, let us hear it.
Dont talk about it, be about it
is what you said, right?

And about battlin' Cane. I have a feelin' he'll eat you. You're in Aberdeen, right? Shoot to Seattle and jump on a plane. Tickets aren't that expensive. Or you can hit I-5 and come through the Bay. I'd like to see the battle.

I've only read a few posts in this thread (I didn't know it was SEVEN pages long!) but I have to say this...

Whoever does your artwork SHOULD NOT have their company logo ANYWHERE on your cover. At the most maybe a very small logo (if you actually agree to that..like if you didn't have to pay for any of it) but usually all they get is a written credit. It's ubsurd to allow a graphic company logo to be on the cover of your album.

Next... I always see people posting that they've sold a few thousand copies of their stuff locally and with no distribution. So what. Unless you're having a conversation with your mother, that's hardly worth mentioning. I think is was MS that commented that people measure success differently... No doubt! And if your goal is just to break even or sell a few thousand units then quit trying to dodge a day job and get the fuck out of the game. You're part of the problem. It's those types of people who put out the seas of crap that fucked everything up in the first place.

I got the album, but I couldn't see the cover since I downloaded that shit......I don't buy bay albums anymore unless I like what I hear after downloading it....

Anyway, is this forum ONLY for so-called artists or what? Should I shut my mouth unless I got a booboo cd out.......whatever.... Imma make my points whether I rap or not. Maybe Tadou is weak...I never heard him, but I think he makes the most sense on this thread (he and Mr. Peete).

Who on this thread has put out some good shit in the past 2 years anyway (at all for that matter)? A LOT of people are talkin, but ain't sayin shit.

this thread is a prime example of why rap is where it's at.....

DUTCH said it best in another thread.....until the ego's go, where people can REALLY give props where props is due, then we will advance......until then, this whole conversation will be a ping pong game....

you'll never hear me or menace sugar coat our shit, we let our music speak for itself......come check the BART to eht 91siccness show in campbell sat night (dec 28th)....and inhale our shit, tell me if it didn't get ya high....

I'd like to think that in the past two years we have put togehter and released some solid product into the marketplace. But that decision rests with the consumers.

Man, show and prove. All it comes down to, all the promotin and talkin and b-s comes out in the wash. Once the product drops it should do the talking. Sick Wid It, who isn't part of the problem then in your book? I know the Mossie didnt sell more then a couple thousand. Not hatin at all i'm just sayin would you consider them some of the cats who needs to bounce out the game? Tadou: Your obviously entitled to your opinion the funny thing is I doubt you've heard more then the one song of me, do what you do. But until you show n prove (fuck bein broke excuses n shit, everyone is broke.) Then I can't give you more respect as an artist the shit you have i don't like based on content not quality. Triplegold: Have we met? Any questions you have with me can be handled in person on the 28th if you'd like other then that I doubt you have any knowledge of who i am or what i do and don't do. Ms: I'd like to think the same for myself, but then again I think the few true FANS that are left in the bay don't really support any of the people to the degree they should. Any cd that I feel is tight I try my best to go buy. Other markets support there own while it seems were quick to support others. Obviously it comes down to quality product but we sure as fuck aint lackin in product so much that are sales should be so lackluster. Mob Boss: What are you saying? Don't speak in riddles it sounds like your saying somethin in a round about manner. Let it out...

Oh yeah, NOCTURNAL HUSTLERS , JOHNNY T, AND MISTA CANE ARE
THE PERVELOUS CAMP: COMING SOON! but yall shouldnt trip on me promotin that...after all NOBODY CARES right?

damn... didn't mean to start all this shit, lol

I do this everytime, don't I? But it's good for the board.

"Obviously it comes down to quality product but we sure as fuck aint lackin in product so much that are sales should be so lackluster"

But we're lackin in QUALITY PRODUCT. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. Quality wise, a LARGE percentage of the shit that came of the bay if released on a large scale like a major release wouldn't do shit as far as sales go. How many of you seriously believe that your product can compete with the majors out there? You gotta take into consideration whether you got a hit on your hands and some quality music to back it up.

Shit, Mariah Carey's last album BARELY went gold (probably platinum by now)! She's the top selling female artist of all time. She came wit a boo boo album and it didn't move. On her new album, she came wit some quality shit and it's movin. That tells you it's about the quality of the music right now.

Mista Cane: You told me not to speak in riddles and to explain myself. The only thing I said that could be remotely compared to beating around the bush would be:

" Who on this thread has put out some good shit in the past 2 years anyway (at all for that matter)? A LOT of people are talkin, but ain't sayin shit."

What I meant by this is that I seriously doubt that ANYONE that is on this thread has put out quality MUSIC in the past 2 years--maybe in their whole lives. So that would DISMISS the argument for anyone to say that their music is better than anyone, they can beat anyone in a battle, anything where one on this post thinks they're better than anyone else..........

Also, now that I know you have some affilliation with NH, that MAY explain where you're coming from on this whole thread. You're probably looking at this as an attack on your camp or whatever, but this is an attack on wack cats in the bay area game as a whole. It JUST SO HAPPENS that one of these cats are in your group. And I BELIEVE these cats are contributing in giving bay rap a bad name and keeping it down rather than bringing it up.

This thread should be for the state of bay rap as a perspective on how garbage it is right now. I'm not picking sides, I'm not trying to be biased. When I said: "A LOT of people are talkin, but ain't sayin shit." I meant that bay rap is repetitive and/or the artists are rapping about a life they WISH they lived because they saw it on TV and/or the artist just sucks..........they're SAYING WORDS THAT HAVE LITTLE/NO MEANING to advancing the bay rap reputation.

However, if you or anyone else thinks that NH and other cats SHOULD represent this, then well.......... shit I don't know what to say to that. I guess the state of rap in the bay will continue to deteriorate.
