we are only doing R&B performances on Tuesdays, the clubs fill themselves up on Friday/Saturdays. Too many shootings/fights after rap performances. Other clubs are doing performances/appearances no problem but the 3 main clubs I work at the city club committee on they ass bout anything hip hop related

One of the newer clubs I promote at, last time I promoted there was 1 shooting and 3 fights, 1 person got they head bust with a bottle, blood all over the vip section

they knew it was other promoters that brought the crowd so they letting me still promote there but they made the dress code more strict
If you do poetry, Oakland has a few places (I dont know the name of them off the top of my head, but they be going, shyt I be walking down the streets sometimes and just hear some poetry going in a crowd), id look into that. When rappers come out from LA like YG or some shyt they usually be at New Parish in Oakland
