You got Boaz doin his thing..but at the sametime how many ppl outside of the burgh know him?
S money had a cple club bangers but other than that his movement doesnt reach past Allegheny county
Wiz is out there and has had success somewhat on the mainstream level as far as getting his name out but right now with the label he could easily turn into a jae millz type..Very easily
Its just about playin your cards right as of now and makin those connects along the way..an right now noone in the burgh has all there @$%$ together
Exactly...and honestly, In my opinion The burgh as a whole is just accepting Wiz. I used to hear for the longest that he was "really" from the Burgh so dudes wasn't gonna rock wit him..so yea..
Boaz got a couple songs posted around the net, on Allhiphop, XXLmag.com, ect...and he did the little Allhiphop Breeding ground show, but once again he shot up there with just The Gov, which I understand but If it's a city wide movement that we need he coulda grabbed atleast one other crew just to be seen with.
Smalls had "I'm the Man" but he put that song out when he had just released a mixtape that the song wasn't on...His buzz lasted all of 3 months IN Pittsburgh so your right about Allegheny County...
Yea, I think it's what yall mentioned but at the same time Nobody really "made it" from the Burgh so dudes rather live the life of hood celebrities. I mean they gettin a lil money and the jumpoffs is thirstier than (insert appropriate metaphor here) so they content in they position. They aint hungry cause to them they think them and they camp is eatin. Wiz got a shot but he aint really tryna create that buzz for himself. U go into the music forum and u always read about Drake, Wale, etc etc and Wiz is in that genre career status so what they doin that he aint? He should show love to his city or suttin. He got a deal. Host a talent show, sponsor a summer league club, suttin.
It's deeper than that. I think dudes who are into the music remember that the few dudes who had a shot and made moves that were from Pittsburgh LEFT and never gave or showed love back to the entire city, just whatever part they were from.
You had Sam Sneed (lol, yea I know)...Melle Man, Joe Beast, ect...They all went and rocked with Dre and/or Death Row but the only time I remember them bringing anything back to the city was to give Schorchin' Hot a couple songs with Game, 50, ect...Nothing really stuck.
You had a couple dudes from Mckeesport that were with UGK for a few years and made a couple moves and showed no love back and when that little fizzled out they tried to jump right back into the scene in the Burgh and weren't really accepted.
There's more names that I'm forgetting but I think you get the idea...Even look at State Fam, they basically produced an entire Cam mixtape but all he did was buy them through their little paypal set up, I don't think most dudes KNOW how to make moves.
Yea I feel u. I guess it goes back to the small, shallow mindedness cause I don't care how big or successful I may become in life, I will never crap out onmy city. Yall Pittsburgh dudes clown me for reppin Star City and !!%, I know it's all in love
but that's where I'm from. That city bred me, Imay not visit frequently but I'm gon def give back and show love b/c w/o the ppl in that city I wouldn't be who I am today and who I will be years tocome
. It's sad that dudes don't have the same mindset.It's the cockiness. The Lord says pride cometh before destruction and a haulty spirit before the fall.
And the dudes that remember those cats that left and never showed love back, forget em. They need to do they thing and forget about those dudes. Just stayhumble and give back and they can make it. That's the formula....well that along w/ talent
