HYPHY is commercially dead.

[WHITE DEVIL]

The latest dixie chicks album is now outselling the entire hyphy movement + Yukmouth, San Quinn, and any other random bay rapper.

Your 15 minutes is up, Bay Area! Get ready for another 6 years of east coast / down south dominance.

The way they tried to introduce the hyphy movement is kind of like the way Lynch tried to go mainstream with the worst song ever, "Everywhere I Go"...

In any case, at least we got a 30 minute special on MTV.

You know you fucked up right? Even tho I agree somewhat.

 

[guerrero]

[THC PurPs]

who else will attempt to bring the bay bac*.. the only person that woulda pulled the hyphy shit off wit no problem was Mac Dre.. i hope them niggas in the south or east feel keak..

 

[DJxREMARKABLE]

wow...givin up the faith that soon??? people barely gettin signed and theres still alot more artists thats still not signed. people STILL gettin introduced to the movement...this shit aint gonna pop off overnight. shit gonna take some time...you just have to wait.

 

[DaBay]

i dont think the hyphy movement is done with
just give it some time they only been introduced
to E-40 and Short and barely keak

 

[tharich510]

once mistah fab signs with aftermath he gon blow up too, too short album ain even out yet, only bay album to go mainstream so far is 40s

 

[MaddDogg]

the hyphy movement is killin itself slowly cause Fab, Keak, Ya Boy etc all got HELLA exposure and aint released a cd.

 

[SaPo916]

Haha well i aint just the hyphy movement or the bay look that the dog pounds new album numbers.

IT TAKES TIME TO RELEASE CD'S, YOU CANT JUST GO TO THE LAB AND LAY DOWN 18 TRACKS AND RELEASE A CD IN ONE WEEK..IT TAKES TIME MAYNE

 

[MrPeete]

lol.. You act like the Dixie Chicks all of a sudden blew up.

They have an established fan base already... plus they dissed the President. Actually, that sort of hurt them but not enough to deter their core fan base. They just can't book as many shows and tv appearances as they used to.

 

[itzlikethat]

fab might get noticed at first but all his raps nowadays are sounding the same.

 

[COMPLEX123]

lol @ this post.

 

[MrPeete]

once mistah fab signs with aftermath

:ermm:

 

[what it thizz]

also figure that south and east coast is a larger area than the bay, sac town, and kc. Its gonna take time to branch out.
but i think that alot of the music thats getting hyped dont appeal to the rest of the nation, i.e. the 18 dummy video, that songs aight but i dont even bump it, yahmean?

 

[nastyfresh21]

comparing the Dixie Chicks, who have already sold over 25 million records worldwide before their latest one, to hyphy is pretty stupid.

 

[Sav Scorcese]

stop it with these dumb ass threads attacking the movement. Just let it be.

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

i hope them niggas in the south or east feel keak..

People in the bay only feel keak because he is from the Bay. As a rapper his shit is subpar. Successful rappers have songs you hear once and bump, not some shit you have to listen to about 15 times before you can get into it.

wow...givin up the faith that soon??? people barely gettin signed and theres still alot more artists thats still not signed.

People aren't signed because people all around the country are not feelin E-40 or Keak. 40 did his best work a long time ago, and Keak is someone you have to force yourself to like.

just give it some time they only been introduced
to E-40 and Short and barely keak

A single/album is the best introduction a rapper needs/has. Keak is unfortunately not a double platinum or even platinum artist. We love Keak because we've heard his shit over and over for so long and he is local. Most of Keak's lyrics are indistinguishable, most of his slang refers to shit that people outside the Bay aren't feelin and never will understand the way we do.

Haha well i aint just the hyphy movement or the bay look that the dog pounds new album numbers.

Snoop Dogg's musical career has been in the process of slowly fallin off for what, 6 years? 8 years?

also figure that south and east coast is a larger area than the bay, sac town, and kc. Its gonna take time to branch out.
but i think that alot of the music thats getting hyped dont appeal to the rest of the nation, i.e. the 18 dummy video, that songs aight but i dont even bump it, yahmean?

As for the small georgraphical area we are from...irrelevent. We live in the information age. It's not like we have to form a cross-county CD chain highway and physically pass the CD along.

And music that doesn't appeal to people doesn't sell. Tell me when to go was unfortunately not liked by many other people. It got a polite listening to, and then just like E-40's album, it flatlined.


The movement has been dead from day one.

Trying to take the deep, rich musical heritage of Northern California and repackage it into a slogan or word is an incomplete and ridiculous representation of music out here. Not to mention E-40's hilarious "It's just like crunk...exactly." statement.

 

[retardo]

fuck a movement make some dope ass SONGS!!!!!!!!!!( and people need to quit brainwashing therselves to like songs just cuz there from BAY) its about the MUSIC not the MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!movement schmovment!!!!!!!!!

People aren't signed because people all around the country are not feelin E-40 or Keak. 40 did his best work a long time ago, and Keak is someone you have to force yourself to like.

well if people aint feelin E-40 or Keak then why did the A'z and Wolfpack recently get signed? and why is TVT jumpin on the Hyphy Movement and supportin it? labels BARELY lookin out this way lookin for new artists.

i was just saying...theres alot of unsigned rappers out here that WILL get signed no matter what the rest of the country thinks about E-40 and Keak.
