Hearing "The Bay is Running Things" and seeing people who aren't from the bay getting their awards is funny. Are cats in the bay getting some radio play? Yes! Are cats selling more units? Probably some. Are any of those cats as much as gold artists yet? Only Bash, and he had to leave the Bay before that happened. The Bay still isn't runnin' shit...I know it, you know it, and everybody in the rap industry laughin at the bay knows it.
Look around you dawg. I got boys from all over the country. The only cats I know that listen to Bay Rap, are cats I know from the bay. Select people from around the country dig Bay Shit...and most of em don't even dig that, they dig cats like 40, and Spice 1, and other cats from out here who made themselves known and respected, the legends. On the real, cats around the United States aren't feelin the Bay sound like the Bay thinks they are.
