So what happens if this "Hyphy" stuff doesn't take off??
- Thread starter The Last Word
- Start date
are the bay artists pushing it outside of the bay in other states or are they satisfied being "hood rap stars"? i love hyphy but they gotta move around and really push it. drop GOOD mixtapes with known dj's from OUTSIDE the bay. get that network game up n stop being local. if the music is for the block, its gonna stay on ya block!
dont even worry bout it. hyphy is blowing up, no fucking doubt about it. i started my website to promote this hyphy shit, but this shit promotes itself. people from all over the nation and world are getting into it. hyphy shit is getting popular in SB and SD. them college kids be hella into bay rap. and you know, once shit gets popular in socal, its only a matter of months before it gets popular nationwide. people are looking for some shit to get them amped like crunk used to, and hyphy is it.
thank you! personally, im everyewhere and out of state..i have close relationships with cats at the majors. they dont know ANYONE form out here. sure they have heard a lil buzz but the bottom line is they dont care because WE DONT MOVE UNITS. bay sales are pathetic, cats are happy with breaking 5k or 10k. and if someone moves 20k they are "the shit". inde artists in other regions more than double that in there first week off top. we need to support eachother and actually go out n buy albums...not 2 mention actually goin out n doing real tours.
its not like hyphy just popped out of nowhere its been around for a minute and its been gradually gaining support. i feel tours should be conisdered. the only downfall of it is people from other regions take it as a joke. i live in san diego and i record people from st louis, texas, georgia...everywhere basically and when they see people getting stupid they laugh. they hear keak go "rah rah rah" and laugh. im constantly defending the bay and im from stockton. wow...anyways, i guess my point is some people are too "tough" to be hyphy.
The Bay is WAY larger than the Hyphy trend/craze. Most people (believe it or not) in the Bay don't get "Hyphy". I think at best it can do what Trap Music or Crunk or Screw or any other regional sound that spills over into popular culture has done...and that's pretty good. The key will be having artist that ARE NOT Hyphy become sucessful aswell. The Bay is to diverse for one thing to represent ALL people and artist. I see some of these hyphy artist now and they wern't hyphy before, but hey some people will do anything to ride a trend to the top.
thas wassup, i thought i was the only one thinking about that! and i know there is more to the bay than hyphy, but if we aint touring and we mess around and blow up on national radio, thas all they gonna get. hyphy gets us in the door, then the artists provide a balance of hyphy and UPDATED mobb music. wait till i get outta this here military(near kansas city of all places, where they killed my city's spokesman,while i was here must i add!) imma show yall how its done!
You need someone with major clout to push hyphy - if you want to sell records then you gotta get someone with deep pockets and influence to get you on the radio. The first step would be doing major tours, then hopefully someone in a position of power will see its the shit and bring some record deals to the table. Only in a perfect world though. I'm really feelin it right now, but in a few years it'll take the backseat and we'll all start to forget it as the next new craze comes out. The natural order
i think its more then just hyphy the music just has to be consistent and hot no matter wut style it is the bay has many different sounds accross the board as long as all styles stay consistent sumone will break threw and more people will look at the bay as a factor just put out the good product and we will be ok pz
