So all over myspace n twitter Ive seen several conversations about Sacramento not supporting their city. Most recently I was observing a convo with @NorCalChika n @CopePhotos on twitter. Chika posted a flyer from the bay and it displayed a show with emcees, breakdancers, graffiti, artists, etc. And the question came up on why dont we (Sac) have these kind of events?! Chika says it usually ends with 40 cop cars breakin it up and the lack of venue participation in these (street level) type of events. Cope feels its not the City disrupting it but the "residents".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you in advance to Chika for the continued stimulating topics and Go Cope for nailing it on the head.

Lets be blunt about this topic...
-Sacramento in general does not support their own.
-Many individuals are out for their self but dont realize that with their Citys support that they can and will acheive higher greatness.
-A small percentage of the populace act a fool and ruin it for everyone.(real talk!)
-The stigma of street level events as being ghetto may never change but if at the end of the show there was no trouble and everyone had a great time then fuck the stigma!
-Venues will continue to hire performers from outside of Sac and more Sacramento residents will attend those events over the local talent.(and thats bullshit!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are any true Sac Supporters that want to put a show together and are committed to it then hit me up please.
If there are any loyal, committed Sac Supporters that want to create a movement count me in!

i think the problem is that local acts tend to overdue the local show scene. This makes the community think that they can catch this act at any time, this cripples the scene. We most def need more support for ALL of the artists in Sac. And that includes ARTISTS supporting other artist.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, artists dont support other artists and true, saturating the scene and not moving on makes an artist stagnant. Who wants to be known for the same hit they had for 2, 3 or even more years and not been able to match or beat the last hit?! Be in it for the passion and not the quick buck. Dollars will come to those who persevere.
