Can't really dispute what he saying. NY isnt really needed in the grand scheme of things. I mean for up and comers its cool to do Breakfast Club/Hot 97 interviews but it isnt really necessary. I mean NY cant even break their own artists successfully anymore (Troy Ave cant even sell 8K physical copies in a city with 8 million people :mjlol:)

It's not even about NY as a city but as the centre of the business, he's talking about the labels and shyt. Everyone still does marketing runs in NY, meetings with labels, radio (for the internet presence) and all that type of shyt in NY and in the end the person signing your contract will be in NY. However the person in NY might not have anything to do with NY. It's just where his/her office is located, some labels have LA as well but all of them will still maintain an office in NY.

With the internet and stuff, it's not really needed anymore. All you need is a studio and a computer.

What a hoe...his bosses boss come to Universal music in manhattan to pick up his check. Its like him saying, you dont have to go to hollywood to make it in the film industry.

I do believe big buildings will close down and move to LA...even still nothing like selling out MSG

Yall NY cats be killin me with the revisionism of Nicki Minaj's career. Fendi, Wayne, nor Deb Antney are the reasons for her initial popularity.

It was Gucci Mane point, blank, period. She was signed to Wayne for what felt like years with no promotion and one verse on the can't stop, won't stop freestyle from a weezy mixtape where she sounded like chanel west coast, scarlett o harlem or any other random, faceless female tax write off. Didn't hear shyt from her after that.

The South made that girl hot, esp black females from the south, Gucci made that girl hot, So Icey is an Army mixtape made that girl hot, Slumber Party and Easy made her hot

Dead at deb antney makin Nicki hot when Gucci was the one that made Deb Antney hot her damn self

wayne had that girl in the bushes until gucci got her a buzz in the south, cashmoney owe gucci far as im concerned, she really took her style of outlandish lyricism and flows from gucci

aint nobody know who she was outside of nyc till she started workin with so icey ent

Pretty much, I didn't know of any females rocking with Nicki like that until her So Icey run, which was around the same time Gucci was the hottest in the A
