Why Bay Rap SUCKS? The answers........

[pure_psi]

This was back in '99, I was in Florida and like that's where these fools were from. The dude who was from Michigan (Detroit to be exact) was actually bumpin' some Lynch, and at the same time bangin' Esham and Natas from the D so it explained why he like that ripgut style. On the other hand, he didn't feel the Bay shit I was bangin'. Dude from Colorado (Colorado Springs) was into reggae and mainstream so that explains that. On another note, this other dude from Detroit was feelin' Agerman's Success the Best Revenge, said dude was kickin' some real spit; but never went out of his way to cop it or ask for a copy.

So yeah, just cause the sound was similar didn't mean they were feelin' it. I've been around fools from Down South and back then some said that the only thing the Bay had was "I Got 5 On It." Aside from that, they've only heard 40 and $hort. That explains the Bay on a mainstream level, but as far as the underground/independent level that's what I've experienced.

I'm tired of ya'll speaking on Bay this....... Bay that. True that there's a gang of weak shit comin outta the Bay, but look at the quantity of artists here. Of course there's gonna be your share of booboo albums. But no one ever gives credit where credit is due. Instead of taking all this time to put down the weak shit, why don't ya'll take the time and RECOGNIZE THE GOOD SHIT thats coming outta the Bay. The Quality albums. Ya'll always talkin how the radio stations don't show no love for local artist and thats 112% true, but if ya'll don't support each other and believe in each other and come together, none of ya'll are gonna get the recognition you looking for.

Tre- You should not be the one speakin on Bay shit cause you didn't even know half the artists I spoke on from the Bay. Don't get mad, but I'm just speakin the truth. Why don't you talk about why Sac niggas shit be garbage?

Yea music as a whole is weak true shit doww...Most people who can do music get slept on like you said.....[video=youtube;_5nmo1q1S0s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5nmo1q1S0s[/video]

Man I have to speak on this, first of all, let's be honest here.....
This thread should read "WHY ALL RAP SUCKS"....

It's ironic that you single out the Bay as sucking but the rap genre is still biting us.
I mean the only creativity to come out in the last few years has been out of the Bay, just ask Snoop and JayZ.

I'll be honest, Bay rap ain't what it used to be but rap in general is weak now dayz....
That partially explains why so many lame cats are getting radio play such as, Ludacris, DMX, Nelly, JayZ, Eminem, etc.
Honestly, even if the Bay was droppin heat after heat like it did back in the early 90's, who gives a fuck?
The rest of the nation would still be sleepin on us,
while the rest of the rap world will continue to bite on us....

I admit that there's no more creativity in the rap game, I think Techn9ne is the only MC comin original now days.
And that's pretty sad....

I PERSONALY DONT THINK BAY RAP SUCKS, I THINK BAY RAP IS TITE, IT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. AS FAR AS HOW POPULAR IT IS MAINSTREAM THATS DIFFERENT. FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS PRODUCED OR MADE MUSIC BEFORE YOU KNOW THAT IT IS EASY TO MAKE MUSIC THAT YOU LIKE,(BUT NOT WERE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE IT) BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE MAINSTREAM WIT IT AND MAKE SOME SCRILLA YOU GOTTA AJUST TO WERE THE MARKET IS AT or EVEN SELL OUT. OR JUST COME OUT WIT SOME OFF THA TOP STUFF NO ONE HAS HEARD YET, OR THAT HASNT BEEN DONE YET. WHICH ISNT EXACTLY EASY TO DO.

I THINK BAY RAP SOUNDS THE BEST WHEN PEOPLE COLLABORATE, SOMETIMES STRAIT SOLOS ARENT KNOCKIN CUZ YOU GET TIRED OF HEARING VOICE.

i feel ya i agree if the artist aint got no ear for his music he shouldnt be doin it again dow if he spitten nothin real you aint go be able ta feel what he sayin nothing original on point bruh.....[video=youtube;_5nmo1q1S0s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5nmo1q1S0s[/video]

First of all,we all know most of these are'nt solo albums.There's 10 to 15 features,alot of the hooks are cat n dah hat bullshit without creativity,basically the same as the 2000 compilations that are being put out,but people must be buying them,because there still droppin like crazy.Secondly,There's no vibe to these solo's.You can't sit back and vibe to these like you could on an old YBB release because you got a million features now,not just Dubee or Mall spittin verse after verse,puttin you right there with'em,seeing his life through his words.Now you gotta hear 16 from so and so,16 from his homie,16 from some guy who thinks he's Pac.It's trash now.Beats are beats.It's up to the artist to have a musical ear,and that's totally uncontrolable for the consumer to change so there's no need to even get into that.You also got the derlict rappers who just want to see there face on a cover.These are the albums with no mix-down or mastering.This shit is just pushed out as a final product for us idiots to buy,yet it sounds like it was recorded on an airport runway.There are quality albums still coming out though,but it's just 10x harder to find them now.There also seems to be a flood of nerds who are putting out albums now aswell.Kats who got one friend in the business,and he only hangs with the nerd cuz he has loot.It works both way also,you get the rich kid who thinks by starting a record lable(does'nt care about the art),he will be a thug now,cuz his money is gonna get him love from street kats who wanna make records.see photo on album line above).That's a sad reality folks.There are nerds who will do anything possible to be with the "in crowd".

FUCK COMPILATIONS
FUCK FEATURES
FUCK 16 BARS ON A TRACK
