Oof yeah I blocked that out, pretty embarrassing tbh
I'll never forgive LA for not putting Ya Boy on

Bet my homie $500 back then he would never make it. I don't know why I felt so strongly. It was just the end of the mixtape era to me, this was between 2009-2013, and I could tell that kind of style would never break through to mainstream. He was like Lloyd Banks or something back in 2002.

All of those "new bay" rappers [Balance

Saw this Nygga in an Article of XXL when i was a JIT and thought his name was Raw, so I took it
Nygga don't even go by it anymore ...the Fck kinda name is "Rich Rocka"?!
It ain't to late, breh. Just change the name up again and try again. If 2 chainz and hit maker can do it, so can you

He was pretty dope. Wrote for K-Fed and I think was writing for others for a while. On The Game mixtape I heard him first over the G Thang beat and interest was piqued. 
Rich Rocka though?
Could have gone the rest of my life not knowing that name swap.

Cali yall was running shxt back then IMO
The New Bay movement got derailed by hyphy music and especially E-40's bytchass. It sent Bay Area rap back by a decade and completely ruined the region's image to everyone else.

I thought he had a buzz back in 08-09 then he disappeared

I don't know if he was ever on paper at BWS, i think he was brought in to contribute to the Interscope/Aftermath writing pool. His first deal was with Akon and the way that deal played out is why he never popped.
He still makes music here and there - he probably has/had more success writing.

When The Game, Ya Boy and Clyde Carson was together as Black Wallstreet, I copped every single one of their mixtapes
Must be like 10+ years ago....

Keepin' it 100
Not sure how many people knew this, but Ya Boy wrote the majority of Kevin Federline's album that he dropped.
Clyde Carson should have been a fukking star. Label politics kneecapped someone that should have been the next big thing from The Bay.
Same shyt with Clyde Carson

Him and Clyde Carson fukked their own careers running down to LA to link with Black Wall Street of all labels. Game didn’t have the juice to put them on and they abandoned the home team too quickly
