Yup, it's good that outsiders can add their two cents because we know what is reaching us globally as opposed to local.

thats true, but it's hard to find new local bay cats, if you are almost 6000miles away

i think it's because, for you its like everyday life. i mean, you see rydah/berner/awax/yuk etc etc show and you can be like 'meh maybe next time ill see them'. For us it like a holiday. Recently there were supposed to be DPG show in Poland. I was like fuckin rap gods are coming. I couldnt go there (i think show was cancelled anyway), but I was talking whole day to my wife about DPG, DAZ, Kurupt and so on. She was like 'the hell you talk to em about?' but I was hyped as hell
The problem with hip hop from all cities in the Bay is they lost the sound. People from LA, Midwest, Europe etc. don't want to hear Bay Artists doing mumble rap and southern music - they already know of rappers doing mumble rap and southern music. What made the Frisco and Bay rap scene so tight was it was a different sound and lyrically clever. So gentrification is to blame but artists and fans need to acknowledge the music coming out of the Bay isn't much different than what comes out of the regions or from rappers who are trend setters.
