Wow Soo many people have soo Much to say
So many people have soo much to say on this Topic.. The anger.. the Collab of ideas and the push toward.. what?? For you To Become a star? For you to have your Music Heard.... Do you have that much pain that When someone hears your music they understand. Or your doing it big time and when they hear you. They feel You...
Payola.. life is Payola.. But even with radio play. If the Street Leaders do not approve of you. You will not get the pass. Rap has been Put aside for some time now. just for things to grow to a point where we wanted it.. Chingo and Lil Rob still get the push Though. all the time.....
But it is nice to hear people talk about promotion.. And to some of the Rappers on here. They Must hate me. because i'm the one holding them down.. Radio is Corrupt.. Never Look up to or Think you need something that you Do not.. Do I need radio ads? to Fill Spots?? Nope.. Because I never could afford them . .I found a way.. To take the power away from radio. .. Flyers?? We don't do that anymore.. Things have changed soo much...
and It is nice to see rasan on here.. It isn't anyones Music , if they think they need this or that.. Everything I Corrupt, Everything is Shady..
like MY secret was to always do it for myself. Music is just another form of Expression. To release something happy or sad .. or just a way to let go...
The Fame. the Money.. that should be something that Like. You never thought of. YOu just made good music for you and Your friends.. And Everyone wanted it. They felt it.
BUt look at everyone. 1001 Rappers, 1 Promoter.. a flooded market. Listen to me this. hear that.. Everyone wants to do shows.. but nobody knows you? why do you wanna do a show? YOu can thank for me bringing the blacks and the mexicans together in these last few months.. with all the party people.. after I did it. everyone wanted to collab.. now events are crazy packed.. all kinds of people..
I can Even prove a Wak rapper can blow up. just by connections.. like if a big promoter got behind him.. because all these Rappers wanna go at it alone.. Without a Promoter and backing from someone. they will not do well. And there is a war Between. radio & promoters.. rappers & crews..
the smart guys are hanging out with mexicans right now. I see Black rappers.. just go to Mexican parties. rapping on video cameras. getting pictures taken.. working the crowd..
But then you have to get the pass from 1 guy.. I"m sorry but 1 person has been Doing you wrong and doing sd durrtee for a while now.. ...
They say with or without The mexicans. rap will grow and thrive... Lil Al and Young Sicc Still do not have the go ahead from MY crew.... And that is Our own race.. How can we even relate to Mitchy?? I'm From chula Kickin it in La costa??
Not only that. sales in sd are Nothing. LA sells Records and Mixtapes. they have a Market.. It is the people here. They are not ready.. we are teaching them young.. Creating a foundation.. What do you think we are doing out here... BUilding the city.. From The basics. all over again.. Kick Backs.. house parties.. 18 and up clubs.. then Gaslamp. then TJ. then Concerts.. .. then shows. but before that Clothing stores. Little shops. spots.. need to grow to hold the music when the time comes that it will be in demand..
And I feel audio is not even the format that is the future.. Sure maybe for some.. but we want video.. all video... I have seen battles in the streets. and filmed them.. very cool..
This whole Rapper thing has Bothered me for years and I work in events all the time and I see what is going on.. I am glad now I have time to work on it. because the SD Party scene is already booming...
