Shit be selling out everywhere. Rasputin's in San Lorenzo keeps having them and then they gone again. Can you get them to just put out more WOODIE for us locals?

Everybody who can't just wait be spending that Christmas money Grandma gave em on Snoop Dogg instead right now, even tho he never gonna be hard to find later and he can be heard on the radio. It's a fucking shame for reals. WHERE'S YOUR LOYALTY, HOMIES? Local latins and poor white boys need a voice--no disrespect to Snoop, but Snoop already made it and brought up his own folx without barely reaching to no other races I can see. Eminem should be promoting us but he's not cuz he all doing his thang on the big screen and leaving the rest of us to come up alone. It just seems he don't got time to bring up others except to give a little lyrical encouragement, so it really is up to us to do it for ourselves, people.

Get off your Duff and lay down the straw for a minute, cuz you got a chance to do it now. Let's help ourselves up cuz nobody else is. This is OUR music from OUR area, and ain't nobody else gonna be able to rep what you NEED TO KNOW like WOODIE!

Stores ought to be knowing already from last time Woodie always gonna be selling, and we don't have time to fucking hunt all over the Bay to get it when they don't plan ahead for sales of what us people really want right now! Fuck this waiting for them to sell everything they got then making us wait for them to order more! Norteno music is already the NEXT big thing, people, cuz everything else hella played out! Can you say "rare collectors CD?" We gotta find some stores to rep music that don't play that shitty azzed game, cuz there's never been a time when they meeting the existing demand, cuz it don't stop growing on the daily, on the reals.

Even Amoeba can't keep up, and they never had a problem with what I looked for before. Are the clerks walking ou the door with your shit and not replacing it?

If Cotati out, try Petaluma, cuz I know there some big name stores there. Can you just buy it direct here?

On the reals they only be puttin a few out at a time at Rasputins. Dont they know everybody in San Lorenzo gonna cop your shit cuz of your Bay ties everywhere. Damn thy acting like you some stranger from far away and not seeing what people want right around the goddamn block. We just one county away from East Co Co-hello.

Also some people working there act like it's news to them that alphabetically the dubs start around the corner from the main section of rap, like they don't know you can be hard to find for some folx not familiar with their set up. Last time around they had lots of posters up everywhere and now they acting like you just another mainstream big name that could just be found any old where. They need to keep you as a local boy stocked much more than the top 40 crap cuz we be buyin it and we need to be buyin it to get word out to homies here. Why they acting like it just music and not a real life cultural phenomenon in progress? Somebody need to go school the minimum wagers who are not knowing working the counters, cuz they treating your CD like it's just entertainment as if any other artist could even try to replace your neccessary information. Can you get like one of those big cardboard cutout trunk show style displays like Snoop got in the music store over by Mason street in SF? I can't wait to see an actual Northerner and not another LA or New York fool trying to sell us what THEY want us to be rather than what we are. Woodie, if anybody can do it, you can pull it off. I'd rather see you mug on a cardboard poster with your son than Snoop Dogg's anyday.

Anyway's don't drive yoself crazy over the whole stocking situation for the whole year, but right now that CD is brand new and everybody that got money for Christmas to buy what they really wanted (that Mom wouldn't buy for them) is hitting the stores RIGHT NOW. I'd say jump on the phone and make sure you get overstocked if you can, cuz it look like you blowing up good. Ditto that for all the Northern Expozure CDs too, cuz a lot of em just ain't there either. Fo sho some people just give up like pussies and spend they doe on somebody else's shit cuz they can't make a second trip to the record store before they doe gets spent on something stupid.

Get your shiz on the shelves as much as you can homie, cuz people that don't have any really do need it to keep up on what's important. There's so many people who couldn't find Northern Expozure they went and got confuzed by hearing things second hand and not from the direct horse's mouth on the CDs. We got enough misunderstandings out there as it is, so I'd really like to see people keeping your real CD close by so when they speaking on something, they know what you really saying. Iam hearing you.

A few other stores to try

Not exactly next door to the East Co Co area, but try Tower Records in Emeryville on Christie St. or Rasputins/Amoeba in Berkeley on Telegraph Ave. if you're out in Alameda County sometime.

You arguing with what Iam sayin or how Iam sayin it? How can you find any of my words offensive in any way, shape, or form? What the hell. Can't somebody try to show some appeciation to the few really great local East Co Co artists out there who puttin it down on the reals? You starting to sound like a hater. Please prove me wrong.
