March 10th Album Release

You know whats funny about blogging is that something has to happen to make you feel like blogging. Last week I found out the album was headed to Itunes and would be there on March 10th. Which gave me one of my happier adult moments. If you know my history then you know exactly what the moment means. In the wake of that information I sent emails and text messages to let everyone know we did it. What I find to be interesting is that people don't know what WE did or more importantly who WE is. When I say WE its the WE who over the years gave real encouragement, who bought tickets to shows they couldn't go to, listened to music they don't really like, joined the myspace, facebook, twitter, Imeem, Linked In and this blog pages. All the people I talk to about the frustrations of being in this business. Also all the people that I have done music with and studios I've sat in.

If I never sell one record I'm good to get to this far and have the experiences I have had. So from a music perspective I'm real good. From the Geographic Empire days to the Establishment experiences. I've done music with a lot of talented people and have been inspired by alot of them.

I was sitting here thinking about what made it possible and remembering those moments, My blog so I get to run these moments

1. I remember the first time I ever recorded anything of a rap nature. I was 15 and as I was told by parties involved I will never be able to have a copy of it but fuck it I did it and I'm proud of it as wack as it may be.

2. I also remember being so shy riding in Adam's Regal that when Oscar asked me to rap I was to nervous to do it. I had to be 15. and then the same thing happened with Arnaldo and Oscar on their prom night.

3. I remember rapping at this party in downey with Rodger and Brad and they had no mic so we were rapping into the ear of headphones (I don't know how that works). I remember that because that was my first time rapping in front of a crowd of people and I thought I was so wack but I had to maintain my reputation because I didn't want to seem scared in front of the homies, because unlike with my school friends, I was on the otherside of the fence with these guys accept for Rodger he was from school.

4. I remember riding with Peter to Pepperdine for his School interview and I rapped the whole time over the morning show as we were riding in his parents Crown Vic.

5. First time I met Joule aka Jadox and learning that I didn't know what I was doing. But that was the first time I really took stuff serious.

5b. I sat in Rez's backyard with 18 other people forming the concept of what would be Geographic Empire only later to go to Lord Ron's garage which was like an ode to hip hop. That Garage probably was more instrumental in me designing my tenacity as an MC because Lord Ron was into my mic ability. So I had to just try and kill everytime the mic came my way against anyone he remotely co-signed. Needless to say never nervous again

6. First Performance at this birthday party and I went into the crowd because they were all my friends and I was excited.

7. Performing in my hometown Compton, that was great along with Geographic Shirts

8. First time recording a real song, Slugfest at Rez's Original 800 fathums Under studio. I had the two tone black and silver du-rag

9. First record label I owned R.o.u.n.d.t.a.b.l.e. (Realm Of Underaduletrated Nigga dogs Teaching All Bitches Lessons Everyday) Records. Thanks Brad. But really I just wanted something that symbolized the friendship.

10. Leaving Cali to come Texas and telling my group members.

Part 2 Texas edition coming soon.....................................

Preparing for the release of a debut album entertainment disclaimer

First let me say I should be doing a vlog of the things you go through as an independent artist with no budget preparing to release your debut album that no one knows they want to hear. So for a little background I finished the album last May but why rush a release if you have no idea on how you want to promote? How are you going to distribute this album? What kind of team do you have to help in this process? How much money do you have to push this album? These are the questions that have to asked first. Then you sit there and wonder how to use the internet in a way that is not redundant to whats already being done. We are now here in January of 2009 and it all kind of started clicking on what the right mentality was to have about approaching these problems.

1. Get the album in the pipe line- How long is it going to take to get on ITUNES? (praying for april, I should have paid the extra money)
2. Give away music- Free mixtape download-

3. Have Fun at all levels
4. stop sleeping- It's 6:00 in the morning
5. do shows- there coming
6. have fun
7. train your friends- thats how i'm booking shows, and shooting video's, and looking like i'm a star
8. Be something to believe in- this is a lifestyle so i gotta style on people
9. have fun
10. Make music you want to hear as a fan not as an artist. (I think I'm dope but if I wouldn't listen to it why should you. I have songs that lyrically great but I don't play them so you won't hear them unless I decide to release a shit you shouldn't have heard album.)

I think that in music from a grand scale I've accomplished nothing but from a personal standpoint on some real human real talk real artist shit, I've changed the my life because you are reading this and when I was starting to rhyme I could not have imagined this in my wildest dreams. So nigga can't tell me shit on some you suck shit because I wouldn't think I'd be in a position for you to tell me I suck. So fan or hater I love you for having an opinion.

I plan on keeping track of the experiences because this is now the fun part of the experience.
So today I have meetings concerning my video concepts, booking shows, and a radio show I may be developing. Tuesday Barack Obama gets sworn in and I believe that is a great big deal but I'm so focused on trying to get so things going I don't know how much I'm going to pay attention.
I feel like Obama got it so I need to get mine. Wish him the best and so on, also I wish everyone prosperity in their endeavors stay focused and be safe.

I'm going on record to say at this moment I don't give a fuck meaning that if you have a criticism of my music cool, I invite that , If you enjoy what I do, I invite that also. Now with that said I will say I make music according to what I feel so if what I feel offends you refer to the moment I put at the beginning. I'm a fair and nice dude however I had to bring alot of the old me into 2009 because I feel like when you a genuinely nice person people seem not to understand the otherside. So I will add to the record that I have no problems with anyone anymore in my opinion but they may have problems with me. In a moment of ignorance I will say this if there is ever a problem with me we can talk like men or fight like men but there will never be a reason for me to threaten or take another man's life. I was raised by a different breed of men so alot of this bird shit that people are on with the bravado and tough talk is not me. For real if you need to understand that the original moment at the top of this statement will always apply. I can talk it out, walk away , or slap the shit out of you. All pretty much come to the same conclusion. I'd prefer to talk it out and come to an understanding and go on living life. Even just walkaway but really the third option seems to be where people want to go these days. I firmly believe in respect and I respect every man that stands as one not neccessarily by my standards but by the moves one makes, emotions are said to be a female trait. I disagree having emotions is normal but to make decisions that you may come to regret later on in life based on emotion is not acting as a man was intended. With that said I stand behind every word I say and if I find that I was wrong I will apologize and mean it as honest as one can. I will never back away from a statement that I say to ease a situation, I will explain my perspective and be prepared for one of three options stated earlier but thats where it ends. That is my disclaimer for all things related to me. So you don't have to assume I probably will never have beef with anyone because of this disclaimer because I don't want anyone to ever be confused. I don't own guns because my personality probably would cause me to shoot someone and I don't travel with a bunch of people to feel safe. People that know me know I role solo to anything. Whether its peaceful or about conflict because I always speak and move in peace. I could give you all the real nigga rhetoric that people speak about but at the end of the day. I'm me that could be the realist nigga you know or the most fraud guy on the planet but I can explain every action I make logically so ask yourself if you can? I never second guess a move! Lets have fun this year , and enjoy life . Officially I welcome you to a Wes Coas State of Mind

Popping the Cherry (no homo)

First off shout out to George for being the first person to get me interested in doing this and then shout out to you for reading this. It's 3:45a.m. and I need to be sleep but I'm not and I'm blogging about what my blog will be about.

Contrary to the name this blog is not about location its about the person known as Wes Coas from the West Coast. So off top let me establish something, to quote former def jam artist Bo$ "I don't give a fuck not a single fuck not a single solitary fuck because I don't give a fuck muhphukka."

The reason I'm being so graphic right now is because my goal is not to please anyone with this blog but entertain with my thoughts and views, but I will not censor my thoughts unless I ultimately decide to do it before I type it.

Ok I would like to say I like Women, money, television, movies, sports,books,music,fly shit and sex. In other words this is for grown folks.

I also do music so I will put video's on here, various other things. If you want to see my more PC stuff please do not hesitate to go to www.wescoas.com and that will explain who I am and what I do.

Now some that know me everyday will think I have lost my mind, but you should know me better than that, and if there are ever any questions feel free to get at me if you know how.

I do not take myself that serious however I do take the work that I do very serious, what that means is you can hate everything I do, but respect my grind because I'm sure it surpasses yours.

I wish all who read my thoughts much success whether you like me or not. Merry Holidays and celebrate something. Life is too short to be mad and not long enough to get revenge so take the good with the bad and celebrate the experiences
