The Bay will always knock for me, I think there's too much division over which type of rap we shud put out to the mainstream, lets just make all that rap music.
South is mainstream, and they have crunk snap bounce dirty miami memphis etc etc and even real lyricists hitting the mainstream circuits. No reason why we shud only endorse one type of bay sound to the mainstream, whether it be hyphy or anything other.
And for those in the Bay wondering why were not blowing up, hating on any type of bay rap will further contribute to the bay not blowing up. By any means tho Im no fan of shitty rap and I feel there are too many gimmicks in the bay, but thats probably the same with every other region too, I bet theres a million dudes trying to be crunk and snap or whatever in the South who are fucking gimmicks.

I don't think being regional is a bad thing as long as being regional = being original...
one of the things that are killing hip-hop is rappers tryign to appeal to everybody (which means they do pop-music)
if you take a look at the history of hip-hop, since the late 80s/early 90s it's been always the regional styles that have reinvented hip-hop, from G-Funk to crunk
so being regional is not a bad thing, the quality of the albums is a much bigger issue IMO

I think people hate it because it isnt easy to grasp if u aint up on "game"....a lot of it is talkin about bein/doin it independent and livin that real hustler life...as we've seen the last couple years, a lot of the music is truly wattered down, and there are MANY clones in that scene.....as far as the classics are concerned, Bay Area rap is the shit! Whoever said Papoose is made by dumb people for dumb people is a dumb person.
Very well said, I live in South Jersey and I'm one of the VERY select few that listens to Bay music. I don't fuck with hyphy though.
Everyone here thinks it's corny, beats are wack, lyrics are rarley if ever mind expanding, and NY feels the same way. It's the reason why the Bay will never be big commercially.
The Bay's oversaturation of the market confuses potential East Coast buyers that ain;t on top of what goes on in the Bay. I mean Keak is not liked out here, but I know at least a few people would have been interseted in putting out an album. So they see On One, or any of the crappy mixtapes he's put out since "Super Hyphy", buy that, are rightfully disgusted, and never listen to Bay rap again.
I can also tell you that Mistah Fab putting out "Ghostride It" as his single was a HUGE mistake. Everyone out here is kinda laughing at y'all.

The Bay just lacks originality and leadership right now. Too many followers are salting up the game.
But you know what I'm sick of the Bay and LA. The westcoast needs some new styles coming out of some different areas. Like the Central Valley or San Diego or some shit. LA and the Bay Area just keep rocking tired styles that have been played the fuck out! No disrespect to either place but I along with the rest of the country are ready for something different from California.
And the main reason a lot people outside the bay really don't like Hyphy shit is because they probably don't understand it.

Your wrong about that. First of all, every rapper makes love songs, G-Units just happen to blow up, get played out. It ain't his fault. your favorite rapper would do the SAME things if given the opportunity.
Every verse he's dropped lately has been pure fire, and I'll be the first to tell you that he did fall off for a minute but that minutes back in it to quote Mac mal.

Too me Bay Music is the shit. Probably because I can relate to all the landmarks or most of my favorite rappers are within a 45 minutes drive from me. But being from the Bay you have a much deeper respect for your music than cats outside. I don't like when people call Bay Area music strictly West Coast because once you do that that's like saying our style runs with LA which is totally different.
But a lot of people run with what's on the radio or TV. Bay music shit we listen to what we hear on the street word of mouth. I like to listen to what I like not what's being feed off the radio. People are so brainwashed now that's why local rappers don't get much respect in their own towns.
