the main reason people don't take the bay serious is because nobody makes music anyone wants to hear period or has a personality people give a shit about EXCEPT the people crow38 just mentioned.
like how is that so difficult to understand. if the people you mentioned didn't exist people still wouldn't take the bay serious, so wtf then?
blaming these kids for your favorite artist's problems doesn't change the fact that nobody gives a shit about them and they're not busting the moves they need to make to put themselves on a national stage -- or maybe the fact that they're just not cut out from the type of cloth it takes to have more than a couple thousand fans spread across parts of CA, denver, washington/oregon and KC.
