Bay Area rap has fallen off as of late!

i personally dont call it Falling off since it was not at a high enuff place for that. I think what is going on now is Artists finally realizing that they need to change the way they do things and are approaching projects differently and taking longer to release something. There was a period of time when good music was coming out the Area but then it turned into rushed and saturated to the point where the music was hurting. I think once 40 and Quinn dropped their projects (both are D.O.P.E!) artists opened up there eyes and ears and realized they need to step it up...
your entitled to your oppinion. , me soundin like everyone else who's comin out i completely dont agree wit though. and i gas my own tank. i feel my shit is dope. and that seems to be the feedback i get damn near %100 of the time. im sure i come across aroguant on the net. but hey its text. im not finna sit here and name drop. on who ive gotten feedback from. and your rite ,, rite now im the THE best thing going.. but i bust my ass. one one day will be dope enuff to be remember forthe music i made, the people i helped and my character. and we werre talkin about bay music. not every other mojar artist u just named. and every one of those artist u named are dope as fuk. and i compare my self to major artist to beter my quality of music. and strive for greatness. anyway .,., too much typing is involved
if your an artist wheres ur music for me to check out wen i get time
I dont agree with this at all. Sure, SOME of those artists were good and a couple were GREAT...but there are PLENTY that are still here from the "golden era" of Bay Rap.
And who is to say none of them would have watered down there music too? Pac, Seagram, Cee, and Coug all died before or around the turn of the century when the music was already in a terrible state. Mac Dre was beginning to slow down when he got killed. Freako and Double D...never was a fan so i wont speak on them.
You have to be comparative to the times and the artist.

Wow this thread is news to me. San Quinn, Quinn and Keak, and The Jacka's new street album were pretty dope to me. Gay Z sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He needs to get some cream for those dark circles under his eyes, his eyes looks like he's a ethernopian. Yung Jizzy is not worth listening to, and T.I. is a punk that beat purchasing automatic assault riffles from a federal officer(seems to me that he must have told on someone, because he couldn't have paid it off, not enough money could have got him out of that). Stop listening to the radio.
There are dope artists out here and dope projects getting put out,but you need to stop holding on to how dope these old cats used to be,people fall off it happens get over it.
The newer cats got the ball in they court and we as fans need to get behind them and support good music,so instead of buying 3 copies of 40's lackluster sequel to "My Ghetto Report Card" go buy a couple mixtapes from these artists that got next because right now rappers like mess,quinn and 40 sound like they're just phoning it in,but these new cats like Young Gully,Chris the IV,the livewire camp and Dubb 20 are hungry and talented and they're putting out way better material than most these "big in the 90's" bay rappers.

EARL,TELL IT LIKE IT IS,GOT RICH TWICE alone is better than some rapper with a jacked beat mixtape.i dont care how good "demon clip" rap,if its a beat i heard already ill download that shit and forget about it by next week.and ill never buy a mixtape i dont care if it was 2 bucks,i wont do it.drop good original albums that they created from scratch and if i like it ill buy it.
^^wouldn't that be an executive producer,like Nick Peace when he E.P. for The Jacka & Lee Majors - The Gobots?
and about my earlier point I know it was a mixtape,but it had a lot of original production on it,and that's what i wanted to get across to chill,not ALL mixtapes recycle beats.Look at DJ Fresh,on his projects he and cats under his umbrella do they're own beats(good ones imo) I know cats like him are few and far between but we shouldn't write them off just because they're "only" on mixtapes.
