Is it just me or is the Hyphy movement starting to just look like 40 and Shorts excuse to be granted a 9th and 10th chance to "blow up" nation wide? I keep hearing and seeing new, more current Bay artist make their music and their videos and yet we are trying to spark a "movement" on the backs of people that have been around for 15-20 years. That's like NY making a big comeback wih Cool G Rap or Rakim. Miami coming back with Luke and the dude with the perminant broken arm. The nation is interested in the Bay, but they want to see some fresh faces. Team, Turf Talk, Fab, The Frontline, Balance, Ya Boy, Bailey, Big Rich, ect...these are talented Bay artist that the country would love to get to know, but all of the attention is being sucked dry by our attention hungry "bosses". Bay Area r&b couldn't be brought back in the fold by The Tony's or EnVouge...It took the fresh faces of Kesha Cole and Goaplle to get that attention. It's a hard pill to swallow, but the Bay needs its A's, WolfPacks, Teams, Fab's, Frontlines, Ya Boy's, Turf Talk's and other fresh talent at the forefront. Not saying the OG'z don't bring the heat, because they do. But the media and consumers want and need fesh blood to open their eyes and wallets.

It ain't 40 and shorts fault these people don't know how or have the cash to promote and market themselves as well as they can. The younger cats in the game ned to step their nationwide marketing and promotion game up cuz i agree they do have alot to bring to the table but they won't go no where with regional label only thinking about the bay and not the whole nation. Or the half ass labels who ain't out for their artists one bit and just trying to see paychecks for themselves.
It would be nice to see people like 40 and Short help these young cats try to come up and not hog all the success they are having cuz when they are too old to rap, they need new cats to carry the torch

The Last Word said:
Exactly what I'm saying...they have the connects to help bring up THE BAY, but they are only concerned with THEMSELVES...and that's fine get ya money on, but don't say you doin it all for the Bay or you putting the Bay on the map when it's done with selfish intent. don't get it twisted, I luv 40 and Short, but in order for GROWTH it has to go beyond our 2 who made it in to "the game".
