What does the bay have to offer other than slang?
- Thread starter The Last Word
- Start date
The Bay (just like the NorthWest--Seattle, Portland, etc) needs more constantly-updated universal websites. That is, all-inclusive hip-hop sites that you can point everyone to at shows, get-togethers and so on. Most of the ones out there now are frauds, with minimal news sections and mostly lame album reviews and "interviews", which look more like e-mail chats than anything useful. Fans need to feel like, if they were to go on a 3-week vacation to Europe, they could come back, go to the website, and catch-up on 100% of what they missed. Anything less is unacceptable.
Solid shows are also a must. And the people must feel safe going to them. And we can't forget, stop it with that one-hour-outside-the-city bullshit. Pay the extra money and do it in a convenient place. That way, maybe someone other than Rappers and your Family Members will show up to see you perform.
Mixtapes. NY-Style (stop it with putting Paul Wall and Jay-Z on your shit. KEEP IT BAY!). Spread all over the place. The people need to know that DJ ____ always has that hot shit, and that if you make it to a DJ ____ mixtape, then you are going places. As of right now, the people have no clue what the real is, and just have to take everyone's word for it. That only works so many times before they get burned and say "Fuck it!"
What does the Bay have to offer?
All of the above and more. They just need someone to get on the ball, quit fucking around, drop their pride, stop trying so hard to be "down", and get to work. The Bay personality cannot be fucked with. Arrogant and cocky yet down-to-earth and insanely creative at the same time. Forget time--it's only a matter of determination.

honestly this list could go on for 50 pages, but i'm tired. my point is, the bay area has always been a hotbed for talent and will continue to be for as long as the planet spins. as far as i'm concerned, some of the dopest rappers and musicians alive or dead are from the bay.
from the music industry, to poetry, science, arts, dance, culture, the bay is a leader in all fields and anyone from the bay should be real proud of that... i wear my 707 roots as a badge of honor wherever i go...
holla if you hear me.

You about to get flamed by the dillusional idiiots on here. This is real talk. The bay has weak beats, too many fake new york rip off mix tapes with sub par rappers making bay versions of already popular songs. Shits corny. If you gonna rap over other peoples beats make it hotter than the original not corny like, "GO DUMB" what is that? Nobody wanna hear that outside of the bay. The bay needs better rappers and better beats with nationwide appeal. Period. No other region needs to make posts like this. Its always the bay thats confused as to why they cant blow up. Its because out here there's piles and piles of garbage and yalls favorite rappers will not appeal to anybody outside the bay in mass numbers
what the bay has to offer?!? C'mon Now....
its not a matter of what the Bay has to offer but rather what infuence has the Bay Area had on the rap game from Coast to Coast?? if i recall the Old school South rap was about killing,mafia,etc... (scarface, ghetto boys) atl wasnt even in the picture back then. east coast was on some fast lyrics shit with so so beats and the midwest wasnt even in the picture either, As for the Bay, We've been on this Pimp shit, Independent hustle since the late 80's and aint a damn thing changed!! Now The East to the Dirty South is using that whole Lifestyle to make there hitz all because of what we were doing back then, the only difference is they have the media backing them up and all we have is 2 hip hop stations who just happened to be owned by the Clear Station Channel.To sum everything up, if it wasnt for the bay....white tee's, pop'n collar's, pimp'n, fa-sheezy, going Dumb and independent labels would not be the thing to do!!! any questions??
