In my opinion, the bay does have talent, but there's a lot more cats without it than with it. If you all would just go out one day, on a mission to hear underground shit that you've never heard, you will see what I'm talkin' about. You'll hear 6 acts that suck to every 1 that doesn't. The cats with talent do need to blow up, the ones without need to sit down and let the talented do their thang.
HOWEVER, if cats keep yelling THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY in their tracks, it's gonna be overlooked. It's not about where you're from anymore, it hasn't been that way for a few years. First you GET SIGNED or blow, THEN you show love to your home. For Example, Instead of making summer songs where you talk about how cats get jacked when it's hot, you gotta make summer songs that are UNIVERSAL, something everybody's gonna love and be able to do whatever to during the hot months!! THEN, people everywhere know who you are, and now you can tell 'em how we get down here in the bay area during the summer time. Anybody understand what I'm trying to say here?
