1st episode wasn't bad...Serch went off on that one kat.
This show got me thinking about some other white rappers that I've worked with in the past and they all have one thing in common. Their crews were already established.
Lil Wyte - He's singed to 3 6 Mafia's label which has a P&D deal through us. We took him to Sound City and Eargazum CD's. The retailers loved him. Part because he was down with 3 6 Mafia. They figured if 36 has a white boy in their crew then he's got to be down.
Paul Wall - Paul has been rapping for years. He used to push his mix tapes at Sharpstown Mall. Paul's also down with SwishaHouse and DJ Mike "5000" Watts. Again he's crew is deep (Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Lil Keke) So Paul get the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. He also makes grills for the rich and famous
Fort Minor - These are some members of Linkin Park. Well really one member. But Linkin Park got it's street cred/cross over in to the urban market by working with the Jay-Z and The X-ecutioners.
Even the Beastie's had an in with DefJam and Run DMC. Everlast was down with Ice-T before he went all House of Pain on our ass. Slim Shady had Dre. I'm guess a lot of these "white rappers" that made it have an in.
Now, with that said once their in they must show and prove...but unlike Serch I don't believe it has to be to a black crowd but just to the buying public (Who evers left) that they belong.
fuck that was long
my bad
btw, new Paul Wall in March.
