Are the major labels watering down the Bay sound for the mainstream?

Food for thought:
After listening to the A'z single, which is basically Bay music in the Snap format, and Clyde Carson's single, which is Bay music in the 50 Cent format, I think these labels & A&R's are having them cater to formulas that are already proven to work in the mainstream rather than pushing a uniquely Bay sound. And ultimately, because The Bay isn't pushing our own sound I think that hurts us as a whole.

"Yo sun, lets keep the Bay the Bay and let The South and The East do them. Word up B, this is the New New Bay right here sun." lol

PS Shout out to Fabby for keepin it Bayish on his 1st single
Man, as soon as we come with our own sound niggas will complain anyways, hence Mistah FAB's Ghost Ride It.. You can't win for lose with Bay fans, but all we can do is just hope a recent single catches on at least as well as 40's did. All in all, no matter what happens, I do respect FAB for keepin it 100% Bayish, he's the only one who's done that so far.. Well, the Feds too, but they not makin no noise right now..

I dont know why you guys have not figured this out yet. Major labels are in it to sell records. They will pretty much follow a formula that works. They are known to follow trends, not break new ground to try something new. Most of the time they keep it safe, and to tell you the truth I dont blame them.

isnt this what i said? and chinese mike got all pissy about it....

i understand the mentality of major labels, i just think it's wack

imo fab is smart for signing with atlantic because they're known for allowing their artists more creative license (ie; upe, little brother).

well... the a'z aint that tight to begin with... i'm sure they'll jump on any hype to make bread. clyde, he's signed to black wall street, so of course he's gonna be influenced by where he's at. but they're whole albums better not be like this.

FAB keepin real n who aint n who else is;
how about every1 list who they think is keepin it real n who aint n who's hyphy tracks r worth listenin too

couple things i wuz thinkin about, some1 saud something about a couple of rappers doing bay muzik in southern n NY ??? format, SHIT NY bit their style off of Pac 9born in NY - but a WEST COAST RAPPER, mostly bay at that) N come on that southern shit wuz built off of bay muzik too, \the south has developed a lot of their pown shit but how can u down it was originaly based off the bay
the bay creates n every1 else bites.
so let a bay cast mix up his shit wit so-called NY n southern shit, itz all hip-hop n ya all should just say let da best rappa shine of how he comes wit what eva style he comin wit
