Can I ask ya'll what is considered being put on the map? Cause When I think of that phrase, I think of what Nelly did for STL... Thats An Example Of Being Put On The Map... He Had A Hard First Single For His Debut And He Made Platinum Numbers After His CD Dropped... So Therefore, That Allowed His Crew (St. Lunatics) to get on too.. I'm Pretty Sure They Got Some Good Numbers With That Cd As Well.. Now Various Artists Are Emerging From That City.. Example : Chingy, Jibbs, J-kwon, and Ebony Eyez... Nelly opened the door... We Need Someone To Open The Door... In My Eyes TECH Hasn't Opened The Door, He Has His Foot In It.. I Think Another Thing That Could Help Us, Is To Get Some Type Of Movement Going... Look At Houston And They Movement... Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, And Chamillionaire.... I Know For Sure That All Them are either Platinum or Gold artists... The BAY Bout To Blow Because They Got A Movement... The Whole West Coast Got Potential To Be Back On Top... KC GOT TALENT MAN... WE WILL GET OUR TIME TO SHINE... WE JUST GOTTA GRIND MAN... IF WE ALL MAKE SOME NOISE AT THE SAME TIME AND NIGGAS SUPPORT EACH OTHER... WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING RECOGNIZED BY THESE LABLES.. I THINK ALOT OF KC ARTIST DON'T PROMOTE GOOD ENOUGH EITHER... WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY ARTISTS GO TO OTHER CITIES TO PERFORM WHEN THEY ARE NOT EVEN KNOWN IN THEY OWN CITY....
