🚨 The Internet Fight That Hit the 805

The Adin Ross vs. Doechii blow-up isn’t just streamer drama.
It’s a culture alarm — and for the 805, it’s personal.

When Ross called Doechii an “industry plant,” then tried to diss her with 6ix9ine, the real ones knew:
this wasn’t about music — it was about clout chasing vs. the art.

Industry voices like Glasses Malone stepped in for a reason.
Because this moment exposed what’s creeping into our own backyard.

🌊 The 805 Problem Nobody Wants to Say Out Loud

From Santa Barbara to Ventura to SLO, the same sickness is spreading:

“Local plants.”
Artists with the look.
Paid reach.
No roots.

Instead of building on stages at The Siren, Ventura Music Hall, or in packed basements in SLO, some are chasing clout collabs and algorithm numbers — while artists who’ve been grinding a decade in the trenches get overlooked.

That’s not the 805.
That’s not West Coast.
That’s not culture.

🧭 The Warning & The Way Forward

If we let streamer logic rewrite 805 hip-hop,
we don’t just lose records —
we lose identity.

The Coast thrives when it sounds like the Coast:
skate culture, coastal grit, Oxnard funk, Paso soul, Santa Maria hunger.

That’s the formula.
Always has been.

🎙️ Local Love

Salute to every artist in Ventura, SLO, Santa Maria, SB who’s still building it the hard way:
studio time over shortcuts,
stages over screens,
respect over reach.

That’s how legends are made.

The Coast Got Next — but only if we protect the integrity.
