I still remember when Luke was talking about being on tour with all the big east coast acts and they were all pretty much getting ganked and he had more money than all of them while having a fraction of the radio play. Thats why southern and west coast cats always rocked with each other because they were the only ones getting money and had relatable lifestyles and both were getting hated on by east coast slave rappers and their culture vulture masters.
Dudes were selling millions of records and still broke while southern and west coast cats would sell 10k albums out the trunk and make more money then the cats you saw on tv
True indeed....
the East Coast bias was too real back then and it was mostly some WILLIE LYNCH shyt being promoted by the JEWISH BOSSES of NYC who brainwashed NYC blacks into not interacting or doing business with thier southern and western black brethren..
THEY WANTED US DIVIDED!!
WBLS..KISS FM of NYC never showed 2 live Crew any love....
hell I remember when THE GETO BOYS got boos at the NEW MUSIC SEMINAR in Manhattan. ..,,
it was a sad state of ignorance at that time
cause it was so petty considering we as OGs Failed to realize the common traits and bonds we shared
for example a lot of people didn't realize that turntable legends DJ SCRATCH of EPMD outta NYC is the cousin of Orlando based legendary spinner DJ MAGIC MIKE!
Also one of the pioneers of ATL rap in the early 80s MC SHY D was related to AFRIKA BAMBATTA....
ITS SAD HOW MUCH MORE CREATIVITY AND MONEY WE MISSED OUT ON CAUSE OF SELF HATRED AND IGNORANCE
