Hyphy movement makin the Bay look baaaad!!!

[mafiaqueen]

well if it wasnt for that hyphy shit, e-40 wouldve never made a comeback. at least that hyphy shit made SOME noise. but that hyphy shit isnt as hyphy as it was 2 years ago. but i think hyphy should be stricly BAY, just like that CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP should be stricly NY

The hyphy sound as far as the drum patterns and tempo of the music is cool and fits the club drivin music scene nowadays,BUT the imagery is ALL WRONG. Like I said, it sounds creative and different but it looks hella stupid(I mean Bad) Its appeal may be misrepresented.

yeah that hyphy shit is murdering the bay, i mean,
shit used to be cool, till it got commercialised,

now white boys down at utah wear mac dre shirts

i been a big fan since geenie in the lamp and young black brotha, so that type of shit upsets me

LOL rap was cool til it got commercialized you got this dude who shot himself by accident been rich since he was 12 and he got the nerve to say he the best rapper niggas like that is fuk'n up rap if the nigga went broke tomorrow he'd have nothin to talk about I don't dig the hyfey shit either but it's damn sure better then lil....

WE GET HYPHY IN THE BAY!!!

YEEE YEEEE EYEEEE

 

[siccness-user]

i guess the hyphy shit is okay, remember when Chappelle was clowning on lil Jon when he blew up?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!????? hahaha i remember reading about how lil jon was making the south look bad with his crunk shit, people probably will adapt to the hyphy later, just doesnt look so good right now, cause people are fuckin it up

We all support Bay artist no matter what because that's where we're from. Regardless of whether or not it's hot we still stay devoted. Even though some trends don't live as long as others we stand by our area, The Bay Area.

 

[dj pimp]

everyone on earth knows i aint a big hyphy supporter. give me that mobb shit anyday. but all the lables i fuck with in nyc are interested in the hyphy sound. jive, shady, tvt, and even def jam have told me that the bay was finally makin noise with the hyphy stuff and when keak came out here he was treated like a king. hyphy will die real soon and somethin else will pop up for a few months or a year, but the bay area will always be home of the real mobb shit

It's always funny to hear someone say they went this place or that place and they think hyphy is a joke. I travel a few times a year to the midwest and south east and when I hook up with fam they always want to get a hold of my bay shit including hyphy.. I've never had any of them hate.

Besides, doesn't everyone think the majority of the south is a joke too?

 

[707Dizz707]

It is a totally biased group of people who you are speaking to, but I do understand. Unless someone can break through with an instant hit - such as something ridiculous like laffy taffy or this is why im hot, then it will work, otherwise - it isn't pushing real units. E-40 had a fan base before his latest cd, and many people thought it to be one of his worst to date. I thought what dude had to say was true - some of the shit is so retarded - people will not take it as legit hip-hop, just another gimmick rapper. thats my two.

 

[PHILTHY415]

this is most likely reason why i think frisco rappers separate themselves from being hyphy!

 

[LurccH918]

the Bay got areas feelin they shit, KC,OKC,Tulsa,Witchita,Little Rock,Omaha,Denver,Salt Lake, the bay got there followers but when it comes to these bigmajor cities like Houston,NYC,ATL,Chicago ect.. they all got hella rappers where they live so u know they think TI is the shit if u in ATL, or Cam is the shit if u n NYC and these are the cities where u really blow up at and thse fools dont wanna give the bay a chance cause its totally diffrent and i think, they just dont know what to think, maybe they should just say the hook 5 thousand times like the rest of the mainstream bullshit

I just got back from the road wit some warner artist and the trip has left me wit a bad taste in my mouth. I was previously in denial about how the rest of the country really felt about the whole hyphy movement but the denial is no more. The consensus from pretty much ny to the south and damn near everywhere else besides cali is that the whole hyphy shit is a joke. Even with the success of e40 the rest of the country views hyphy as corny and lame. From the beats to some of the slang they was straight clownin. At first I tried to defend our shit but at times found myself unable to. When I asked why some felt the way they do the number one thing they said was all the beats sound like arcade games and all the songs titles have go this, stupid, dumb, thizz, that etc... and they think this is all we are about. They especially clowned all the shabobalaboopi and yellow bus rydah shit. At first i thought they was just hatin but then when I sat back and thought about it some of the shit they was sayin was right. It seems that nowadays the only thing the bay has to offer is the hyphy music. And to me the hyphy shit is gettin worse and worse by the minute. I know we have more to offer than just hyphy but the rest of the country doesn't know that since all they see or hear is hyphy.

Dont get me wrong Im born and raised in the bay and I love it but for the last few years I aint been feelin the direction of hip hop in the bay. IMO we have severely over saturated any and every aspect of our culture and its slowly destroyin it. Believe it or not the industry has already written off the whole hyphy movement but not the bay in general. We still have listeners out there but they looking for some versatility. I hope we don't find ourselves in another late 90" fumble again and step up and make good music instead of over saturating and recylin the same shit. Just my two cents. Take if how you want. 100

Threefoe, you just now realizing this?

Mac Dre was the only one who could pass doing the go stupid, go dumb style... everyone else just stop. Seriously you're making yourself look stupid and you're bringing the Bay down.

I can see how other sections of the nation are like damn the bay thinks it's cool to act retarded?

We have a style that's unique but we shouldn't hop the bandwagon. Same goes for all aspiring artist thinking doing the trend will get you sales.

Another great point, I live outside of the Bay now and since I been on this site, I been tryna say that the rest of the coutry straight up laughing at the Bay. There are some good songs, but the opinion of people on the other coasts is that thye are doing waaaay to much. Dre was the one to pull off that corny, silly style. He was great at it, now everybody tries to follow.

One of the main problems in rap is how dumbed down everything can be, and the Bay fell right into that. Seiously, when have you ever heard jewels being dropped on a hyphy track? Never, this is why Federation and Fab will not release albums on a major label ever unfortunatley.

Another thing is it seems the people/fans in the Bay fell right in line with the get stupid, go dumb shit. It was cool for a couple of songs, but for success the rest of the country has to at least like it, and if they are laughing at you, chances are they are not gonna buy the record.
