Bay Area Rap is a cold hard bitch, but I'm a sucker for love
New blog from SMC Records' Will Bronson on stashonline.com

Maaaaaaaan, I'm beginning to dislike the media. Don't they understand that I have an agenda of my own???? I had blogs planned out with cute little titles and everything, but instead of dictating what I write about myself, I'm using this forum to respond to stories or issues they're fucking up. Last week it was Censoring Hip-Hop, this week the supposed end of Hyphy or Bay Music Movement as a whole.

Eric Arnold is covering this in an upcoming story for the SF Chronicle and I know he's got his facts straight, but the articles, message board talk and conversations that make their way to me (I hear everything. This scene is just like High School and I was cool then just as I am now…LOL!)

So I'm gonna bounce around and touch on a few topics that seem to be
popping up.

For starters, Is Hyphy Dead? Read the rest of Will Bronson's blog >

For starters, Is Hyphy Dead? NO! Are people tired of hearing the same fucking chorus', the same wack-ass under-produced beats and the same go-to features? FUCK YES! So let me explain… the spirit of Hyphy and Bay Movement is still alive and well. Kids go dumb, they're not stopping anytime soon, BUT they/we do need some new progressive music to enhance it or I'm just gonna keep rockin my "go dumb-snap" to T-Pain. Here's a quick lil' lesson: Once music starts seeming factory
made, people eventually catch on and stop giving a shit. (Case in point No Limit, Cash Money's first wave, Ruff Ryders with Swizz Beatz on every beat) So when everyone started whispering like Clyde or was being retarded like FAB or…. you get the point. The shit got played. So how about this rappers and producers– Do you. Someone will figure it out.

^^^^^^thats pretty much the music industry anyway only when it happens in the bay its a way smaller scale whatever is hot on a national scale will get ran into the ground until there is soemthing new to jump on case in point for a few months hyphy brought back some shine to the bay we were getting almost the same promo we did back in the day but the sound/movement was not enough as far as sales sure people got behind it a lil bit nationally but nowhere near the other movements to speak on the cash money/no limit/RR/ is crazy they were doing MILLIONS of sales and all over the the place the bay is just what it is (atm)nothing more nothing less just yesterday i turned on the radio from 9am to about 11pm i hear T-pain about 35 times no lie and i heard about 17 down south songs in a row some of the exact same song back to back in that time frame am i mad? (NO) they support plus thats what we are fed everyday on mtv so that is expected the only way the bay can do that is if everyone and especially our own region get behind something and really buy records again the industry is all bad right now but u see people like 40 and Short still selling records even when its a drought is because they got there CORE fan base that will stick threw with them no matter what so sales/money will always come in anything new in the bay just doesnt have the impact on fans these days as it did in the past so those high numbers will prolly never be reached by any new bay area artists but at the same time there is solid music out here in the bay but at the end of the day the support is just not even half way there pz

i'll post it on here too:

the music will never fade in the bay...just like mob never did...
all that really matters to people from the bay...is the bay.

seeing local artists on mtv and bet gave people a sense of pride. just like it would to the person who grew up next door to rick ross.

its that simple.
