A lot of ya'll on siccness do not know....
Record company A&R's look at these message boards..its sad to say but it's true..instead of being able to get the street's opinion on bay area rap music..they have to get the internet critics opinion...only because those A&R's have no way to get in contact with the streets.
So when ya'll make thread title's like "40's new single wit keak sucks"
and "San Quinn's new single sucks"....
Those major record companies see that.
Its simple marketing brother..why would they want the bay?
If the A&R's see that the bay area's own rap fans aren't feeling their OWN music...why would the rest of the nation feel it?
It's pretty simple my friends
think about it
If you really want the Bay to be Back show some support...
And another thing
A lot of ya'll also complain about mobb music not being around anymore
..another simple one
For years up until around 2003..Bay rappers were still doing mob music.
but think about why they stopped.
After 1996 album sales from Bay artists have gradually went down
but bay artists kept doing their "mob music"
since you wanted that mob music why didnt you all buy the albums and support it...if you kept buying those albums..mob music would still be around strong..
Once bay artists gave up on that shit because it wasnt selling..they had to move on to the next thing--Young bay niggas
hyphy music did not come from a music studio
it came from the new generation of young adults in the bay
around 2003 when lil jon was makin slaps for Ying Yang" salt shaker" and Too $hort's "Shake that monkey"...and even the neptunes and busta ryhmes "Light your ass on fire"....These young cats were going crazy to this..with or without it being from the bay. Once the Federation seen this going on mostly in Oakland..they made Hyphy..directed to young cats
and most likely..if you do not understand Hyphy
then u will not like it..square
So this is the new movement..Hyphy
Accept it or not ....it's here
and if u dont like it
go into your 90's collection of bay area music and have fun
