I don't have time to read every post in this long haterous thread.
I have heard a lot of music from the northwest, and I mean a lot of it. I've also lived in 4 different states in 3 regions of the country. Northwest rap is just like any other part of the country, some is awesome, some is ok, some sucks. The artists are just like those in other parts of the country. Some are fake, some are real. Some suck their own dicks, some have a humble maturity but with confidence.
Don't be so hard on yourselves, everybody. The three single biggest reasons the NW ain't blown up yet is beyond every single one of you's control.
Reason #1 : Location
Reason #2 : Market size
Reason #3 : Location
