and here we go with the NYC shots again lol. I neva said NYC was da hottest out rite now. Hell our radio barely plays NY artist like that during primetime hours. However if a artist doesnt catch on in NY said artist will go nowhere. Why do you think weezy is having his coming home concert in NYC, or ross his in NYC every week, hell even flocka is back to claiming queens and earning his stripes out here.
da streets may not factor in buying your records but they damn sure factor in your youtube videos, creating a buzz for a rapper, making people in da industry take notice of you. Gucci album didnt do much but he's still demanded on a lot of features and sells out shows everynite bcuz of him controlling da streets and not jus ATL, but major markets such as NYC, L.A etc. Without records being broke in NYC he would be another yo gotti
