Feb. 28th come get a bar of that West Coast Renaissance shit...not that New West shit cuz that aint me...the WEST COAST RENAISSANCE!!!

[Kicket]

eheheh... glad to see you're taking that "let's do my promo thang on that French board" seriously... I wish all them US artists could do the same...

anyway, can't wait for the album to drop... and don't worry, that lil interview stuff is more than ever planned... we'll handle that just before or after the album is released...

[Bouli]

I wish all them US artists could do the same...

uh i think that the board would be a little bit over-flooded if this would happen lol

West Coast Renaissance shit...not that New West shit cuz that aint me...the WEST COAST RENAISSANCE!!!

I totally agree with that, I read and heard on a couple of places about the new west, especially the new southern cali sounds and damn it that sucks... fortunately there are still a few artists who keep doing that old westcoast shit... i didn't hear anything from you except I feel so westcoast and to me that's the kind of beats that makes me think(and wonder) dat the west has not definitely fell off... i hope that your other stuffs sounds like that if not i don't think i would love it.

[Kicket]

I wish all them US artists could do the same...

uh i think that the board would be a little bit over-flooded if this would happen lol

ahah... i meant "promo thang" like in "I'm a US artist but I do care about foreign fans so I keep them posted with what I'm working on right now and I don't mind talking with them", not like in "yo!! I'm a US artist so I ain't got time for insignificant foreign fans, just go buy my shit and shut the fuck up!!"... ahahahah

bref, pour les anglophobes, je développe un chouïa : j'apprécie qu'un XL et d'autres futurs artistes US (espérons le) viennent sur le forum pour poster et nous tenir au courant de leur actu... même si c'est à une humble échelle, si à terme tout ça peut permettre de créer des passerelles entre ici et là-bas, des passerelles fonctionnant dans les 2 sens, bah ça serait génial !! c'est le but en tout cas, reste à voir jusqu'où ça pourra porter ses fruits...

[OGM]

whoa !
like Kicket said ,happy to see that you're really involved meeting your french "customers" on this forum!

an interview would be a great idea!

i've been listening "u heard of us" by Foesum,waiting for your new release to be dropped.
that's the kind of shit i like,no need "new west"!

i've been bumpin' everyday the bonus cut "feels so wescoast" rmx ,such a dope track!!

hey,french cognac in the cup (on the cover),isn't it?

[XL Middleton]

oh yes most definitely...to be honest I like interacting with foreign fans more than people out here in the USA, cuz people overseas aren't so quick to just jump on the newest trend...I see people in France, Japan, Germany, and all over Europe who are real genuine and stay loyal as fans, that's the kinda shit that I appreciate...out here its way more people who act like "OK im not fuckin with your music because you aint rappin with 50 Cent or Snoop Dogg"...

And about the whole "new west" thing, i think its cool that the young artists out here are trying to forge a new sound, it's just that this "new sound" sounds like sounds that other coasts have already touched, namely the East Coast mainly. And we're trying to call it a movement when it's not...we're trying to force it to be a movement and it ain't that unified yet. it could be that way eventually, but we just gotta get off this cliche subject matter (guns, ice, dissin other rappers for attention) and get off these fluffy ass beats and then maybe we'll have something real.

[Kicket]

Preach !!!

[Kronik]

Tbh, I'm addicted at chicano rap but your productions sound good, really good !!!
RESPECT !!

[Gi2les]

XL

Can you post some snippets of your next album ? i don t know a lot of your works (except the ones that Kicket play the moday night lol) but i liked the shit that you done with Foesum and E-white

out here its way more people who act like "OK im not fuckin with your music because you aint rappin with 50 Cent or Snoop Dogg"...

it s a gay mentality but it s so true ...

[XL Middleton]

Yeah we got some new audio coming soon, the first single "Cash Out which is produced by Bumpus (who did "Happy" for Marlon & Suga Free) is coming next week...also if you join the forum at http://l22records.com i dropped a forum exclusive over there, a joint I did with their head artist Mista Mil so if you head over there you can check that one out....but if not just chill here and come thru with the exclusives!!!

[OGM]

fo'sho i'll take a look!

"happy" a very good track ,produced by Big Saccs aka Bumpus?
i like your remix too!

[OGM]

nice site!

so i could hear the track taken from your new release "the party's almost over" feat Mista Mil.
i like this cool shit!

can't wait for your new album!!

[Kicket]

nah, Saccs and Bumpus are 2 different persons if I'm right...

and that track with Mista Mil... to be honest, I won't say it blew my mind off, but it's a pretty dope cut, tho...

[jUz@m]

nah, Saccs and Bumpus are 2 different persons if I'm right...

Ouais mais tu nous avais pas dit que c'était Big Saccs qui avait fait Happy ?
Yes, but you said us it was Big Saccs that made Happy, didn't you ?

Par contre Big Saccs = Dazzie Dee si je ne m'abuse, non ?

[Kicket]

yup, Big Saccs formerly known as Dazzie Dee from Da Lench Mob!!!

and about that "Happy" track, well Bumpus and Saccs co-produced it... at least that's what Saccs told me, but maybe i'm getting confused on this issue, lol, i won't say i'm 100% sure... could you confirm XL?? (or i'll ask Saccs again, lol)

[jUz@m]

and about that "Happy" track, well Bumpus and Saccs co-produced it...

Ahhhhhhhhhh okay !
so now everything is clear !

[XL Middleton]

yeah Saccs & Bumpus are separate dudes...but their level of genius is equal.

[Ricco]

Nice too meet you on this board !
So congratulaion for you're tight SOUND !PEACE!
