Hehehe...
Honestly, I feel you. I think the area is on the rise right now and I won't point any fingers, but some cats are gonna blow up within the next few years taking the area with them.
Those cats who you're speaking about who all have the same styles are probably gonna get left behind, with very few of them seeing spotlight at all. However, cats with that voice do appeal to a large group of people, so those cats get there hustle on and make something out of there music.
Not every person can be new and creative, or else nothing would ever catch on. I wouldn't even expect half the cats to be new... they stay true to what they feel.
As far as going 'Back to '95', I think that would be a terrible place to be, in my mind... let's take it to 2005, give them that decade to sleep on the West, give them something they didn't expect... I just hope the West is ready to pounce when the time comes.
I see potential and I see potent knock offs, but what I don't see is major unity and that's what needs to happen first, if we all want a piece of the cookie.
