WRONGKIND RECORDS PRESENTS"THE WEST AINT DEAD"
- Thread starter MITCHY SLICK
- Start date
I'm not a rapper so I aint worried about that. I'm a fan, a collector & a consumer so all I'm worried about is adding new good music to my collection & as many complaints as here about lack of qaulity of west coast music over the past several years I've yet to find a a shortage of good music on the West Coast.
Its not crackin like the 90's but its still enough heat 2 keep me satisfied.

If its gonna be called the West Aint Dead then it should be cats from all over the Pacific. If its just Cali niggaz then it should be called Cali Aint Dead. Feel Me? I think towns & hoods all over the Pacific should be included since this is a West Coast movement.
Everytime I see a CD that's a comp & it has West Coast on the title all u ever see is Cali niggaz. That's it. We got the coldest heat & the most swag but its just not us out here.

I can get HELLA cds off out tha trunk nigga!!!! Betta ask Fam Bam about me!!! Naw I'm just bullshit'n.....This can turn out to be a good look for the west. The radio aint playing shit out here unless you Glasses Malone or Cube...I hit the clubs and dont here nothing from the west.....Maybe its just Dago keepin niggaz stuck in the box.
Dago can't keep a nigga stuck nowhere... niggaz stickin they damn self in a box. 90 percent of rappers feel like they goin on a big ass trip just to go to LA.. nigga i dun drove from here to DC pimpin my way all across the country. its a whole nother world out there besides south east, gaslamp, 858 and oceanside...
I see what you are saying but I know for a fact you can make a lot money out the trunk also. Coop started a thread about out the trunk vs sound scan and I wrote a big reply and when I hit submit he has already delete the thread. I really feel to sell records in the store you really need radio promotion and video promotion and that could cost a pretty penny. I think trunk sales get you a bigger fan base but not all of them will go to the store to get your next cd but it is a huge promotion for you and some will look you up online on your myspace, website or whatever. But a lot people I know are selling the most via itunes but since there is no placement programs and stuff like that you are just a record under a huge stack of thousands of other artist and I think thats where the trunk sales and street promotion comes in to help those sales. Magazine interviews and ads also help a lot. The Bonafide dudes told me they saw you in Az doing promotion for your last record and they sold about 35 cd's there at just the one spot you were at. They make a pretty good living and support a whole team. There is a lot of cost involved also...Buying cars, gas, hotels, pay roll, making new music, buying beats, mixing, mastering, etc and out the trunk is not a easy business I just think it helps promotional wise and you can get some money in the process. A lot of artist dont do it cause they dont know were in other cities to reach their target market and you get a lot of rejections and that is bad for the ego.
I know where a lot of artist lack is merchandising...They do these shows and maybe sell some cd's, but other stuff like t-shirts and misc crap really sell and people like to bring home that crap as a memory of a show

I am not just saying that, its a fact...Thats why we get all that corny crap on the radio all day...I been to a program director conference that was put on by radio promoters and seen all the major labels there pitching their new songs and I have a few friends that do radio promo and I know a few guys that have gotten it done...There is other people on this forum that have done it and can tell you all about it.
