It's not dead, it just kinda sucks for the most part.
Don't get me wrong, there are some good artists still around, like most of the ones Swervin named.
But what happened to the Mobb shit? The thick, rhythmatic beats.. the street shit. Now it's a bunch of clown shit that has no gangster appeal to it in the sense that the stuff from the 90's have. I keep hearing "everything has to evolve", and I say, fuck no it doesn't if artists don't let it. This hyphy shit is boring as a mother fucker. Mac Dre is the only one who did it right imo. E-40's hyphy style is a joke. If his new album has hyphy shit it will be just as shitty as Ghetto Report Card was. So for fucks sake I hope he has mobb style, street shit.. Studio ton type of deals..

part of the problem is we got too many old timers still in the game, making things look stale for everyone else. How many more songs can you make about how things used to be back in 93? That old mobb style is gonna completely die out due to the fact its not as ghetto in the bay as it used to be. No disrespect to those dudes because they are legends, but i think its time to make way for some new blood.
but yea, things are looking A LOT better than they were a year ago.....jacka keeping us afloat until we regroup

thats true........
as recently as 2004, each part of the bay had its own distinct sound. You could easily tell what town someone came on just by hearing their album. "oh, thats hella pittsburg style" or "that is some vallejo shit" etc..... That aint happenin no more. Actually, the same thing happened nationwide, the bay was just a microcosm of what myspace and shit did to rap

I agree with you 100%. I didnt like Ghetto Report Card. So many people will probably come with that dont hate on 40 shit. I love E40 and alot of stuff he has done but i just dont like most his recent shit. Hope he has a different sound. I think why Mac Dre sounded so good with a"hyphy" style too is because he blended a nice mix of hyphy dance shit and gangster lyrics to where you could feel his albums on both levels. Like the first two songs on Ronald Dreagan "Feelin MYself" total party club song and then "Fa MY Niggaz" which is more of a hood song lyricwise with an his kind of upbeat flow yet he was spitting cutthoat shit. Personally i dont think the bay has been the same since dre left. Everytime he was on a song with yuk or keak or anyone it seemed like everyone came harder like he brought the best out of them. I know people also say that bay music has to evolve and it cant go back to the 90s or whatnot but the sound can evolve from hyphy and thats what i want to say. Because its just a bandwagon and i think alot of people are realizing how old it is now. Get the cutthoat lyrics back with some fresh new beats that arent so hyphy but clean and made with new technology that wasnt around in the 90s.
Ohh yeah and Bay Rap is not dead. The artists that are great in the bay. Will still shit on 50 cent Fat Joe Rick Ross etc. IMO its not as good as it used to be but you never know what will happen. There is still music out here that is the freshest in the world. You just have to weed through the bullshit.
PS Buy CD's if you listen to them and like them go buy them so your favorite artist can keep making good albums. I mean i see the music they amke as a BIG favor and uplifting things to many peoples lives so return the favor and pay the 13 bucks. Most record stores you can sample albums before you buy them so not "knowing the quality" is no excuse.

That shit has been done 1 million times already. It's played out, old, and stereotypical. Not all blacks in Richmond and Oakland are poor and in the "ghetto". There are all types of hiphop and all types of Black People. You can only rap about so many guns and murders and coke sales. That shit is played the fuck out. Not every in the hood is on some illegal activity bullshit. Grow up. You sound like a white boy fascinated by ghetto life.
True...But when they do that the people are so programed to follow they shun the ones who try to break loose if they are not "reppin" the right way. They might get hit with the "that's not ______ enough". People say they want something different until it comes and they become afraid and run to their little safe zone...something they can "trust". I think that the Bay act that says fuck the Bay and it's stuck in mobb or hyphy ass sound will be the one who can liberate this area from itself, because the Bay and the majority of it artist making the same ass songs and sounds is what is killing the bay.
